Lily Chiam

ARRMus, B.A. Mus, Uni. Alberta, Edmonton, Canada.
Founder of Expression Music.

She is fast becoming one of the brightest artist composers in her region. We had the pleasure of recording in Sydney, Melbourne Adelaide, Los Angeles and New York.

Lily Chiam is a renowned inspirational artist who uses the fine arts to creatively communicate positive, life-changing experiences through quotes in music and paintings. She is on a mission to help others find their gifts and talents.

Meeting thousands of students every year, Lily’s keynotes are to empower the team to take charge and to produce the results with the highest form of expressive artistic creation.

There is simply no end in artistic performance. Everyone is born with it. It’s a matter of time through cultivation to achieve the desired response. You can’t keep on copying and duplicating… that is not ART. A true artist comes from within when mastered becomes a REAL self Identity.

As an innovator and with a down to earth, warm and friendly style, Lily opens real-time learning to expand students’ perspectives and inspire them to create forward momentum in their own lives.

Ever since 1996, Lily and her team began with the dramatic and adventurous season, the creativity has taken heights in leaps and bounds. Students are enchanted by the massive powerful illustration, visual arts and music in a matter of moments. At the end of the performances, each student brings back special memory of dreams they never thought could be real. Each impressive major display is recorded in DVDS and CDs, and frequently, act as a reminder of the positive, life-changing messages each students encounter.

As part of the noble act, Lily also encourages artistes to care for the special needs of special children in parts of our world. Often, the proceeds of the concerts are donated to charities; one of our frequent recipient is to the orphanage in support of ‘DANA Pengiran Muda Mahkota Al- Muhtadee Billah Untuk Anak-Anak Yatim’, Brunei.

Lily’s work is regularly featured in many events, corporate and private functions, and has been featured on Brunei satellite, Radio Brunei, New York Radio, World TV, India TV, Singapore networks Central China CCTV, Astro and etc. Whether before a crowd of ten or tens of thousands, Lily continues to hold the audience enchanted.
