Band Members: Ocean of Fire was formed towards the end of 2003 playing their own brand of instrumental music with influences from musicians such as Dream Theater, Yngwie Malmsteen, Steve Vai, and Joe Satriani. Through the years, the band has progressed through different forms of music and even had vocals at one point. Currently, the band comprises of Kelvyn Yeang (band leader) and Chiat on guitars, Jonathan Chen on bass and Jonathan Scully on the drums. With their experiences in different forms of music, they have decided to piece all of their influences together and play a remarkable style of rock fusion.The quartet’s major breakthrough came during Asian Beat 2006/2007; they were the winners of the National Finals and was chosen to represent Malaysia to compete in the Grand Finals which was held in Sunway Surf Beach, Kuala Lumpur. Ocean of Fire was the runners-up of the competition which also featured bands from Indonesia, Singapore, Taiwan, Hong Kong and China, and bagged two individual prizes along the way: best guitarist (Kelvyn Yeang) and best bassist (Jonathan Chen).So far, the band has played in numerous shows with the notable ones being; Muzik Sistem’s Annual Band Show in Alor Setar (with Pop Shuvit), the opening of the Yamaha Showroom at The Curve, Kuala Lumpur, Roland’s product showcase at KL Jam Asia, a joint concert with YouYang Songwriters’ Association in KOMTAR, Penang, Project Bazooka’s Penang Invasion at Laundry Bar (with Two Sides to a Story and Poseidon), Kuala Lumpur as well as Roland and IMH’s music show in Kuching, Sarawak.
