About The Sugar Bees

The Sugar Bees is a vocal trio formed in the summer of 2018, when three great friends (Siti Nur Iman, Sneha Menon, and Marielle Solano) discovered a shared fascination with exploring music through close harmonies. Since then, the group has honed their vocal chemistry into a seamless, sweet sound that feels simultaneously timeless and contemporary. 

Listening to The Sugar Bees is like leafing through a well-worn songbook of influences: the playful intricacy of The Boswell Sisters, the lyrical wit of Stephen Sondheim, the melodic drive of The Beatles – and tucked between those pages, the Bees’ own voice emerging. Their repertoire draws from a vast spectrum of styles, each performance landing somewhere between reverence for the past and invention for the future.

As they continue exploring the range of their music, they are now focused on putting out more originals and taking on gigs that bring joy – both to them and audiences everywhere.

The Sugar Bees have performed extensively in Singapore’s live music scene, including at events presented by The Esplanade (including the inaugural show at the Singtel Waterfront Theatre), Sofar Sounds, and the Singapore Night Festival.

In 2024, they released their debut single “Moonlight Saving Time” (popularised by Blossom Dearie). They are usually joined by their good friend and guitarist Kenzo Nagari, and occasionally play with larger bands. (jas)
