Original songs with a story, a purpose and a melody people remember.

Natalie Hiong is an award-winning Singaporean composer, songwriter and lyricist creating original music for children, theatre, schools, organisations, brands and live productions.

Bringing together the instincts of a singer-songwriter with her experience as a performer, music educator and creative director, Natalie specialises in turning an idea, message or story into music that feels genuine, memorable and emotionally engaging.

Her professional writing credits span major attractions, government organisations, educational institutions and theatrical productions.

Natalie was a lyricist for the multi-million-dollar spectacular Incanto at Resorts World Sentosa and co-wrote the theme song for Universal Studios Singapore’s Hollywood Dreams Parade. She has also created original music for organisations including the Ministry of Social and Family Development, Singapore Discovery Centre, NParks, SMRT and Methodist Girls’ School.

MUSIC FOR CHILDREN

Children’s music is a particular area of Natalie’s work.

As both a professional songwriter and an early-childhood music educator, Natalie creates original children’s songs, educational music and curriculum music for schools, musicals, early-childhood programmes and performing-arts projects.

She understands the particular challenge of writing for young audiences: music needs to be engaging, developmentally appropriate, memorable and genuinely enjoyable to sing — while still being musically interesting for the adults teaching and hearing it.

Her work includes a collection of 60 original children’s songs created for a drama school’s music and movement programme, alongside original songs and curriculum music for Creative Hearts – Centre for Performing Arts, the school she founded.

Depending on the project, her children’s music can incorporate movement, storytelling, character, rhythm, call-and-response, solfège, musical concepts and age-appropriate vocal writing.

THEATRE & PERFORMANCE

Natalie’s background as both a songwriter and performer gives her a natural affinity for music written to live on stage.

Her credits include:

• Lyricist — Incanto, Resorts World Sentosa

• Co-writer — Hollywood Dreams Parade Theme Song, Universal Studios Singapore

• Composer / Lyricist / Vocal Coach — For Such A Time As This, Methodist Girls’ School

• Co-writer — Fullout The Musical

• Original music for children’s productions, schools and performing-arts programmes

She is particularly interested in musical theatre, family entertainment, children’s productions and story-led songwriting.

COMMERCIAL & COMMISSIONED MUSIC

Natalie works with organisations to create original songs around campaigns, causes, education, storytelling and community.

Past projects have included music for:

Universal Studios Singapore · Resorts World Sentosa · Ministry of Social and Family Development · Singapore Discovery Centre · NParks · SMRT · Methodist Girls’ School

Projects may range from a single original song to larger collections of music, and can include composition, songwriting, lyric writing, vocal direction, recording and music production in collaboration with trusted arrangers, musicians and producers where required.

SONGWRITING & LYRICS

At the heart of Natalie’s work is songwriting.

Whether writing for her own artist projects or for a commissioned brief, she is drawn to strong melodies, emotionally honest lyrics and songs that communicate something clearly.

Her original song Unravelling won the Love Song category of the UK Songwriting Contest, while I Keep Coming Back To You won Singapore’s Homesongs competition.

Natalie is available for selected songwriting and lyric-writing collaborations across pop, children’s music, musical theatre, educational music and commissioned projects.

Lyrics by Natalie Hiong

FALLING
The walls are trembling, the wind's howling
The stars in the skies are fading
Like ghosts in the shadows
The moon turns to stone
I'm a long way from home

Every step I take, I flounder
In a world so untrue, there's such wonder
But how does a girl conquer all of her fears
When searching for truth in the dark

Chorus
Catch me, I’m falling
Where do I go from here?

Wake me, am I dreaming?
Hope amongst these tears

My heart holds my dark desires
But my mind yearns for more than the answers
I’ll bury the pain and the unspoken dreams
In search for the truth beyond me

INCANTO DREAMS

Eyes open wide
The wonders of this charmed life
I'm hypnotized, but I see the light
Stirring within me this trove of emotion
Unravel my deepest illusions

Incanto dreams
Light the flame and set my spirit free

Enchanted dreams
Unleash the power deep inside of me

Now that I've seen
The strength that dwells in me

No holding back
I'll step into the light

The time has come
For me to bid farewell
Your heart in mine forever now spellbound
I've watched this journey unfold
I won't leave these stories untold

Incanto Dreams
Light the flame and set my spirit free

Enchanted Dreams
Unleash the power deep inside of me

Incanto Dreams
Just look within

Enchanted Dreams
They can make you believe
