WVC featuring Steve Nanda

WVC plays original compositions, with drummer extraordinaire Steve Nanda.

Drawing inspiration from the many facets of modern life influenced by Malaysian and other Asian cultures, the music of WVC cuts across many musical genres and defies any kind of classification. Tunes such as “The Art of the Wind Up Alarm Clock”, “Found and Lost”, “Standing in the Rain on Euclid Avenue”, “Lost in Different Time Zone”, “Waiting for That Day” tries to examine and express the human condition in modern life, using the art form known as "jazz" as its stylistic musical vehicle.

Formed in 2006 as a trio, WVC completed its quartet line up with the addition of saxophonist Julian Chan. The group has toured extensively in the region, heralding back the spirit being "on the road" of touring jazz bands of old. Through these regional tours, WVC has brought its music to many corners of Malaysia, Singapore, China, Taiwan, Thailand, and Macau. In one of these tours, the quartet managed to travel extensively over 18 cities and performed 23 concerts within a month, using different means of transportation, playing in many different types of venues.

The present incarnation of the WVC consists of bandleader/composer/arranger/music director/pianist Tay Cher Siang, bassist AJ, drummer KJ Wong and saxophonist Julian Chan. The band remains one of the most active units in the Malaysian performance circuit and is one of the most sought after jazz bands in Malaysia for Hi-Fi recordings and live performances.

No stranger to the music scene In Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, Steve began playing gigs and festivals from age 15. His father being a musician was responsible for exposing Steve to Jazz very early on. At 16, he won the Yamaha’s Best Asian Drummer award and also led his band to win The Best Asian Band award. Later on he started working with Michael Veerapen, a well who gave him (and continues to) the opportunity to explore many different musical genres and settings. Now currently pursuing his studies in Jazz and Pop in Mainz, Germany, Steve is actively playing in the Mainz and Frankfurt area.
