Synopsis:

The passing of deejay, writer and singer Chris Ho (aka X' Ho) in September 2021 sent a jolt through the music and music-loving community in Singapore. In this session, Senior Specialist (Oral History) Mark Wong revisits oral history interviews recorded with some of Singapore's English-medium popular music pioneers over the years, in appreciation of the joys and struggles of the "pop life" in Singapore.
