History

Background

New Recording 47 began with Amanda Ong and Shaun Spencer, who are alumni of NP Voices A Cappella, as well as Lee Yee Kien, Raimi Rusydi, and Zach Teo, who are alumni of SP Vocal Talents. Amanda is also a part of the Voices of Singapore A Cappella (VOSA).

In 2018, they met up at a stairwell to sing together, and the first voice memo they recorded in May was labeled 'New Recording 47' on Raimi's Apple iPhone, hence the group name.

In 2021, Lee Yee Kien, Raimi Rusydi, and Zach Teo left the group and made way for three new members, Sreshya Vishwanathan, Sherwin Lam, and Ryan Han. Sreshya is an alumnus of NUS Resonance, Ryan is an alumnus of SMU VOIX, and Sherwin is also currently in NUS Resonance.

In 2022, "What It Used To Be" was featured on Singapore Airlines' Made In Singapore playlist, and one of their TikTok covers appeared in the 94th Oscar's We Don't Talk About Bruno segment. [7] They also performed at Esplanade's Voices - A Festival of Song 2022 in the second a cappella showcase, [8] where they first got Amit Kashyap on board as their sound engineer.
