MusicianCares' journey began when co-founder HK Teh and his teenage son Benjamin visited Mount Miriam Cancer Hospital, Penang for a volunteer program briefing for Benjamin. During the briefing, the idea of playing piano for the cancer patients emerged. HK immediately took to social media to request a piano donation for this initiative. Within an hour, someone connected him with a piano donor.

Now, with a piano secured, HK, who is not a musician himself, only had one volunteer pianist, i.e. Benjamin. Needing more pianists to support the project, HK reached out to co-founder Samwise Loh to join the cause. Together, they envisioned a volunteer movement where local musicians could unite under MusicianCares to serve the local communities together.
