 Aubrey Suwito and his wife came up with an idea to get fellow musicians to help other musicians in their time of need by organising a fundraiser concert in 2010.As the people whom he worked with throughout the project were mostly his friends, he decided to name the album 'Christmas With Friends'.The musicians who worked with him on the Christmas album were Nan Alias (guitar), Mohd Rafi (guitar), Andy Peterson (bass), Steve Thornton (percussion), John Thomas (drums), Eddie Wen (trumpet), Kevin Choo (saxophone) and Chow Ming (trombone).
