Singaporean singer-songwriter Inch Chua is moving to Los Angeles. The SXSW 2010 invitee set to begin work on the follow-up to her acclaimed “Wallflower” record. Chua has opened for Katy Perry and Vampire Weekend in her native Singapore.

While her past material is a schizophrenic potpourri of introspective acoustic tunes and chirpy electronic, Inch Chua, one of Singapore’s most prominent indie singer-songwriter, is returning to her roots as the boisterous rock singer she is best known for. Her latest musical direction harks to her love of classic rock like Queen, high-octane indie rock like Mute Math and even the queen of Japanese rock’n'roll, Shiina Ringo. Instead of her usual introspective lyrical slant, her new work will see her tackle social-political issues close to her heart.
