The Stylers is a Singapore band formed in the early 1960s. It was at the time when many rock bands such as The Beatles, The Shadows, The Ventures, etc., were already flourishing or began to emerge. Starting as a band playing English songs, The Stylers soon switched to playing mostly Chinese songs due to the massive support it received from the Chinese community, not only in Singapore, but countries in South-East Asia, Taiwan and Hong Kong. The popularity of the band spanned over 30 years till mid-90's, touching the lives of many.

Other musical instruments such as cymbals and trumpet were added as required. The well-coordinated play often produced the unique kind of ear-pleasing music you don’t usually hear from other bands. Old songs which you seldom listened to became nice and popular songs at the hand of The Stylers. Many singers reportedly had their LPs sold in greater numbers after switching to using this band. The Stylers members include Mr. John Teo (Lead), Mr. Randy Lee (Rhythms), Mr. Douglas Tan (Bass), Mr. Alvin Wong & Mr. Lawrence Lum (Drums) and Mr. Robert Song (Percussion).
