Eric Ng

Eric was born and raised in Singapore. At the age of 17, he started learning guitar, bass, drums and piano on his own, and started playing in bands because of his love for the band Guns ‘n’ Roses. Eric's passion and love for music has helped him gain confidence from early teens.

Valued for his extensive foray in the music industry, Eric has been invited to judge singing/songwriting competitions such as Academia Fantasia, Hear me Sing (StarHub) and ‘Live on’ Film competition (Ministry of Health) and to conduct music sharing seminars for institutions in Singapore (Ngee Ann, Singapore Polytechnic) and China to share his experiences in his multi-faceted music career.

The Professional Songwriting Camp (Singapore, 2016 and 2017) and the Professional Songwriting Summer Course 2018 at Musikmakarna (widely acclaimed songwriting academy in Sweden) achieved huge success in bringing new talents together to create catchy hit songs with successful placements.

Being the music entrepreneur, Eric founded Funkie Monkies Productions together with award-winning lyricist Xiaohan, with the vision of discovering and grooming the next generation of hit makers. As its success grew, Eric expanded Funkie Monkies to include a music publishing department, and a pop music school that also includes a production house and artist management. Starting in 2007, Funkie Monkies has been housing producers and songwriters penning hits for Stefanie Sun, Nicky Lee, Aaron Yan, etc. More than 95% of their exclusive writers were signed after attending the songwriting courses.

In 2005, he wrote “Yi Zhuan Yi Wa 一磚一瓦”, the theme song for Hands United Program by Cathay Pacific Air and Habitat for Humanity to fundraise for the Indian Ocean tsunami victims. Eric's ability to write songs that reach and stay in the charts were repeatedly demonstrated by songs like “Invisible 隱形人” (by Stefanie Sun), and “Amphibian 雙棲動物” (by Tanya Chua), “Hostage 人質” (by Amei), etc.

In 2001, Eric wrote “First Class Entertainment A級娛樂” for A-mei, and “Paper Aeroplane 紙飛機” for Sandy Lam; both were incredibly successful hits, followed with “Ta Zhi De他值得” (by Victor Wong), and “Zui Hao De Shi 最好的事” (by Sandy Lam). In 2003, Eric wrote three hits for Fish Leong “For your own good 為我好”, “The Intruder 第三者”, and “I am not Afraid 我不害怕” that received great popularity. With the remarkable success of the song “Deep 無底洞” written for Tanya Chua 蔡健雅, Eric has elevated to a new career high, and was awarded with 2003 Pepsi Music Chart Best Composer. He also wrote several songs for Stefanie Sun including “Can’t be with you 不能和你一起” and “Wei Zhi De Jing Cai 未知的精采”, the theme song for FAW Group's Vizi.

With his vast artist networks and industry contacts, Eric has ventured into music consulting for brands such as Guinness, helping them enhance their brand image through advising and coordinating music events such as talent mentorship, music performances and the 1st Guinness Arthur's Day concert in Singapore, packing 7,000 enthusiastic music fans at the Max Pavilion, helping the brand win globally recognized marketing awards.

Eric's first song “Yi Ge Ren Sheng Huo 一個人生活” (by Diana Yang) was published in 1998. Within the next year, he began to publish numerous songs with Ronald Cheng, Leo Ku, Jordan Chan, Daniel Chan, Angelica Lee, Valen Hsu, Cass Phang, etc. While continue writing hit songs for top selling singers like Karen Mok, Rene Liu, and Wakin Chau, Eric also started to take on more challenges in arrangement and production.
