About Us

The OV Singers is a community choir from Sabah, Malaysia (North Borneo), which consists of members aged 15 – 57 years old who came from different backgrounds and began their journey together as novice singing enthusiasts in 2015. Despite of the unique differences, they are strong in musical passion and bonds, which is the essential spirit of Sabahan camaraderie.
