Annabel Soh
Songwriter · Lead Vocals · Producer · Vocal Coach · Mentor
Annabel didn't arrive at worship leadership. She was formed into it, quietly and thoroughly, long before anyone saw her on a stage. First came two years of Bible school — proper theological study. Then two more years at a Christian creative arts college, learning how the arts can carry what words alone cannot, how craft and consecration belong in the same room. She absorbed all of it not to build a career but to build a foundation.
Her first years of ministry happened mostly out of sight. Cell group leading. Serving at the edges — the kind of serving that never shows up in any programme booklet, that no one photographs. She set up chairs. She prayed with people after the service. She showed up consistently in the Ekklesia seasons of City Harvest Church, when the worship was raw and unfinished and something about that rawness made it more alive than polished things often are. She was not impatient to be seen. She was learning to be faithful. And faithfulness, held long enough, has a way of becoming its own kind of authority.
In time she became one of CityWorship's most beloved song leaders — her voice carrying not just pitch and tone but something quieter: the weight of someone who has genuinely meant every word she has ever sung. But ask Annabel what she is most proud of, and she will not mention a song, a concert, or a stage. She will tell you about the young singer who came to her not believing she had anything worth offering, and left knowing she did. She will tell you about the worship leader who had lost the plot — running a ministry but not really worshipping anymore — and the long conversation that helped them find their way back.
Annabel is a vocal coach and mentor in the truest sense: she doesn't train voices, she tends to the people behind them. Beyond Singapore, she and Daniel have carried that same spirit into missions — to Japan, Korea, Taiwan and Malaysia, not to perform but to be present, to walk alongside communities and leave them a little more rooted. They have done worship training in the US, Indonesia and Hong Kong, investing in worship teams who needed not just technique but theology. Online, they have coached and mentored worship musicians in Malaysia and India — turning geography into a minor inconvenience, meeting people where they are.
All eight songs on Treasure were written by Annabel and Daniel together — she and her husband of many years, co-writers before they were ever co-producers. The songs are the fruit of a long conversation about God, about life, about what it means to keep worshipping when the seasons shift and the certainties don't. Her goal has never changed: to bring people to Jesus. Not to an emotion. Not to an aesthetic. To the Person — the rock who does not shift, the strength that does not thin out, the One whose Name, it turns out, was already written inside every one of us before we ever thought to look.
