一個動感,一個“三八”。
兩個極度樂觀、崇尚自由、熱愛即興的女生。
帶著一個對音樂的傻勁,經過4年的磨練,首張專輯《人生實驗課》已經出爐了!
在世界破曉的時候,在太陽下沉的時候,你會想要聽到她們的聲音。
因為聽她們的音樂會讓你聽到自己,而在認識她們的當兒,你會認識你自己。
2007年參加新加坡新傳媒電視台舉辦的《絕對Superstar 2》以競爭者的姿態相遇。比賽結果,兩人各拿下了冠亞軍,然后持著一次比賽的經驗與追夢的勇氣,攜手踏上坎坷的音樂道路。
從一開始就很用力。
2006年,佳盈辭去了OL身份,開始參與新傳媒電視劇演出,演唱多首連續劇主題曲與插曲,在2008年被本地導演陳子謙選中,演唱電影《12蓮花》主題曲《疼傻人》。也因《疼傻人》入圍了新加坡金曲獎最佳新人。
迪雅2008年大學畢業,睜著陽光般的雙眼看娛樂圈,看到了艱辛,但更看見了音樂無限的力量。比賽后,以《絕對Superstar 2》女冠軍的身份代言 SONY WALKMAN,同時與新傳媒電視台簽約,演唱無數首連續劇主題曲與插曲。在2009年被選代表新加坡參加台灣《超級星光大道PK賽》。
就這樣,一心一意。在家人的反對與支持背后,在朋友的耳語與叮嚀聲中,在歌迷的熱愛與遺忘之間,插班生成立了。

Freedom.
A dollop of optimism coupled with a dash of spontaneity.
At the break of dawn, the fading of dusk, it is their voices you hear.
For in their music, in knowing them, you find someone else there. It is your self.
Carrie Yeo and Chen Diya make up the Freshman. The girls met in 2007 at the audition for “Project Superstar II”, a nation-wide singing talent search competition organised by Mediacorp Pte Ltd, and emerged the top two winners of the female category. Forging a friendship in their rivalry, they continued their dogged pursuit in their common dream – singing.
Carrie left her nine to five job as a marketing executive to sign on to Mediacorp as an artiste. She then acted in, and sang theme songs and sub-theme songs for Mediacorp dramas. In 2008, upon a chance listening of Carrie’s demo, local director Royston Tan picked her to sing the theme song of his movie “12 Lotus”. The song, entitled “Love Fool”, got Carrie nominated as Best Newcomer in the Singapore Golden Melody Award 2009. In the same year, Carrie was also chosen to represent Singapore in the “International Chinese New Talent Championship” held in Hong Kong.
Diya, as the female champion for “Project Superstar II”, was endorsed by SONY WALKMAN. She completed her undergraduate studies in 2008, bright eyed and excited to embark on a singing career. She signed on with Mediacorp as an artiste, and was given opportunities to sing theme songs and sub-theme songs for Mediacorp dramas. In 2009, Diya was chosen as one of the Singapore representatives who went to Taiwan for the PK rounds of the popular “One Million Star” singing competition.
Gifted with boundless energy and a knack for experimentation, the girls have now combined forces to become the Freshman. the Freshman aim to inspire through their eclectic brand of music, and will launch their debut album Life Experiment 101 in September 2010.
