About this Event
Established in 2017, RIF is an entirely student-led music festival staged annually in the heart of LASALLE. The festival, known as the Rock and Indie Festival, aims to continually provide a platform for local musicians and small business owners to showcase their crafts.
In an age of polished production, RIF25: (un)filtered hopes to highlight the raw, unfiltered creativity that defines today's music scene. Festival goers can expect an exciting line-up of artists, both established and upcoming, and a fully fledged Festival Village showcasing a variety of businesses selling everything from crafts to clothes. This year, we aim to amplify the voices of emerging artists who are pushing boundaries, crafting their own sounds, and creating communities through their work.
Get ready to kick off 2025 with RIF Sessions, an exclusive series of live recording shows happening on the 17th and 24th of January!

Rose Tinted Press is an eclectic collective started by guitarist Ashlyn Yeo as a passion project. Their music feels like diving down the rabbit hole—a plunge into wonderland, a race track, a canyon, anywhere really. Their maximalist arrangements exhibit intricate finger-style guitar playing, whimsically acrobatic vocals and emotionally charged song-writing, all tailored into larger-than-life soundtracks to reflect those fleeting, arresting emotions that we all know feel so all-consuming in the heat of it all. Join them as they navigate the tangle between optimism and denial through Rose-Tinted lenses.

As her debut single, Tapestry, has just been released, Dhanishta and her band explore music that delves into introspection and raw vulnerability. Blending indie-folk with ambient pop elements, her music balances emotional depth with an ethereal, honest sound. Dhanishta creates an ode to listeners who value and honour music that resonates on a deeper, personal level.
Heema Izzati is an 18 year old, local singer-songwriter who is currently studying at LASALLE College of the Arts as a part of their Diploma in Music Programme. Heema’s originals feature soulful vocals paired with insightful lyrics and a backdrop of vibrant instrumentation. The blend of genres in her originals results in the band’s unique sound. Through this set, the band will take its listeners on a journey of self-discovery and the importance of staying true to themselves.
MURPHY is a singer-songwriter, who has no idea how to write a happy song. Driven by his emotions, he has one goal and one goal only, to see his audience tear up listening to his Feel-Good songs and Pop-Ballads.
