Bevlyn Khoo

14 April 2015 was the debut of Starhub's first local serial drama Jump Class 《跳班》, which featured Bevlyn's compositions for the opening and closing theme songs 《跳》and 《天天是好天》respectively. She also wrote and produced all the songs in episode 6, in which most of the lead actors sang for their characters.

Khoo re-emerged on the independent scene with 2013's concept album, The People I've Known 《我认识过的人》. Without S2S funding the album's production, Khoo turned to Pledge Music for help generating the resources necessary to produce the record, ultimately raising $5k USD from fans (15% of the money received after the $5k goal was reached went to the charity Food From the Heart) and further funding the project with $20k SGD of her own money.

The People I've Known received generally positive reviews from several critics. Today Online's Christopher Toh gave the record a 3.5 / 5 rating, and said "(Khoo's) emotive vocal delivery works wonderfully on ballads such as The Letter That Never Came." Power of Pop observed that Khoo was back in her element as an indie songwriter, and said "(The People I've Known) demonstrates Bevlyn's astute understanding of the soft rock dynamics of the Seventies (which forms the core of Mando-pop). Crucially, Bevlyn is much more than a pretty face and pleasing voice – she is a serious songwriter in her own right!" Title track "The People I've Known" was nominated for Best Local Lyrics at the 2013 Singapore Hits Awards (新加坡金曲奖).

Bevlyn wrote and performed the 2013 Miss World Singapore theme song, "Beautiful Purpose."

The Storyteller Wave is a music production company set up by Bevlyn in 2013. It provides music production services for TV music, music albums and wedding songs.

After her three-album contract with S2S was up, Bevlyn parted ways with the label amicably in 2012. In an interview with The Straits Times, Khoo cited creative differences as the reason for the separation, saying "I didn't want to end up with people thinking I sing a lot of covers and that's it. After all, I started out as an indie singer who writes original songs." In the same interview, Khoo states that she wanted to "prove she was capable of more than just sad love songs."

Bevlyn's second album release under S2S, 2010s Bistro Affair (released under the title Weekend Journey in Japan on 16 March 2011) is a 14 track LP composed entirely of French songs. Khoo learned French for 5 years before making the record, and her efforts paid off as Bistro Affair charted at the top of popular music charts in Malaysia, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. This feat aside, Bistro Affair is also the only album ever recorded by a Singaporean singing French.

The final album Bevyln Khoo released while signed to S2S was 2011's Feel About You. This record is unique in the sense that it featured a mix of original songs (8) and covers (6) of well known Mandarin songs like Singapore's award-winning lyricist Xiaohan's (小寒) "Together Forever"《我们要一直这么要好》and Western songs like Frankie Valli's "My Eyes Adored You" and Duran Duran's "Ordinary World". The album also features "Keep Warm" 《保温》, the sub-theme song Bevlyn recorded for Media Corp's popular television series Little Nyonya《小娘惹》prior to her signing with S2S.

The EP was a hit with fans and critics, winning the Best Independent Album at the 2009 Singapore Entertainment Awards. Motivated by Lonely Afternoon's success, Khoo submitted the EP to Japanese record label S2S. Though initially rejected by the label, Khoo was signed to S2S in 2008 after label founder, the late Ken Suzuki, heard the album.

You Are My Angel is a 10 track LP and the first record Khoo released under S2S on 11 April 2009 in Singapore and in Japan on 12 August 2009. It is significant also for being the first time S2S, a Japanese record label, ventured into Chinese music as 6 of the songs on the album were covers of classic Chinese songs. Several well established producers, arrangers, and session artists played a part in the album's creation, including producers Goh Kheng Long and Kenn C, and arranger/ guitar players Roger Wang of 2VIG and Jamie Wilson. GogoYoko says of You Are My Angel, "The most interesting thing about this album is the charm and spirit that Bevlyn manages to inject into long-standing and endlessly covered songs. She makes them entirely her own." Specifically regarding her voice, Gogoyoko says "(Bevlyn's) seductive, sensuous voice smoothly graces the jazz harmonies."

Bevlyn recorded the theme songs to two Media Corp hit TV series: "Keep Warm"《保温》 for Little Nynoya 《小娘惹》in 2008 and "Cinderella"《灰姑娘》for An Enchanted Life (钻石情缘) in 2006. In February 2015, two of her songs from her album 《我认识过的人》"The People I've Known", 《别太寂寞》and 《灵魂伙伴》were licensed for the opening and closing theme songs of Mediacorp Channel U's serial drama 《分手快乐》(Let It Go).

Bevlyn's first record as a solo artist was Lonely Afternoon, an EP consisting of 5 originals and one gypsy jazz cover of Edith Piaf's "La Vie en Rose" that was released in February 2008. The EP's diverse genres and languages led World Music Magazine to praise Bevlyn's versatility as a musician. Title track "Lonely Afternoon" showcased Bevlyn's ability to transition between singing in multiple languages within one song, as she sings the verses in Mandarin and choruses in English. Moshin Magazine reviewed a live performance of the song, saying "Articulating the verses with fluent Mandarin, Bevlyn easily transitioned into perfectly enunciated English. Her voice constantly stirred emotion, dripping with a honey-like quality and filling the Rainbow Canopy with a powerful resonance."

Khoo was signed to the Japanese independent record label S2S from November 2008 – 2011, a time period in which she released 3 albums.

Bevlyn performed publicly for the first time as an independent artist in August 2008 at the NUS UCC Theater Hall in support of EP Lonely Afternoon. Since then, she has been invited to perform at a number of notable venues, events, and festivals. In 2009, Khoo was invited to perform for several countries' delegates, including Hillary Clinton, at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation meetings. In March 2012, Bevlyn represented Singapore in Hong Kong Asian Pop Music Festival. She was also a featured performing artist at the Spring Wave Singapore 《春浪新加坡》in May 2013. In August 2014, Bevlyn was also invited to represent Singapore in "The Harmony of Chimes" in Bangkok, a concert put up by the Bangkok Symphony Orchestra for the Asean Economic Community (AEC).

It was through a trip accompanying a male-singer companion to an audition for the A Cappella Society of Singapore that Khoo was invited to sing for the society herself, as they were then looking specifically for female singers. This development served as the catalyst for Khoo to quit her day job with Rotary and pursue singing full-time. She stayed with the A Cappella Society of Singapore until 2006, during which she sang in two A Cappella groups: The Notations and Nanu.

In 2002, Khoo and friends founded A Little Dream, an agency responsible for booking musical artists at events like weddings. Still fronted by Khoo in 2014, the agency has booked thousands of events and currently has upwards of 50 performers.
