Meet Kalliope Coplin Lead singer of 10.Seconds, our George Washington Ball band

Kalliope is one of the best-known vocalists in Southeast Asia. Fronting the 10.seconds band for more than 15 years, she has taken the stage throughout the region – Thailand, Myanmar, Indonesia, Vietnam, China, and, of course, Singapore. You may have even spotted her at the George Washington Ball or the Fourth of July celebrations. But she wasn’t always filling dancefloors. “I’ve been in Singapore for coming on 22 years now, and it’s been a wild ride! When I arrived, I was an international school teacher and a closet singer, but somewhere along the line, these switched, and I’m now a university lecturer in education on the side and an entertainer, vocalist, and coach full-time!”
