with Anna Chong 莊啟馨, Amir Jahari, Claudia Tan & Narmi

Anna 莊啟馨

Anna Chong 莊啟馨 is a Seremban-born singer-songwriter and composer who fearlessly explores possibilities and the unconventional, peppering her Chinese and English compositions with gibberish, self-invented, pseudo-language. To her, music is a universal language.

Anna’s debut album ‘Tack’, released 2013 was awarded the ‘Best Indie Album’ by Malaysia PWH Music Award in 2015, and nominated for the ‘Best Album’ by AIM Music Award 2016.

Amir Jahari

In 2011, Sarawakian singer-songwriter Amir Jahari became an instant sensation via a viral lo-fi YouTube rendition of his own original “Tanpamu”. From then on the then 19 years old amateur moved away from hometown Kuching to the bright lights of Kuala Lumpur. There he was quickly snapped by a recording label, who released his first album “Penghibur Jalanan” in 2013 and launched his career actively gracing both indie and mainstream stages and TV shows.

The anchor of the debut album, a rerecorded and embellished “Tanpa Mu”, was on regular rotation on a number of radio stations. Two years later he won the Hard Rock Rising 2015 Championship and nominated for several other awards, including Best Ethnic Pop Song at Anugerah Industri Muzik 2016 for his song “Ingga”.

Amir released his second album “Siang & Malam” in November last year, the result of a fruitful collaboration with musician and producer AG Coco, and this time he moved toward a more Nusantara Pop trajectory, with influences from the local folk music while keeping it within the catchy, charming pop realms.

Narmi

When Imran. the drummer of successful pop-punk band One Buck Short, decided to step into the limelight from behind his drum stool, the resulting enticing persona is NARMI, a singer-songwriter of such magnetic but calming artistry which has been capturing the hearts and imagination of many.

His debut single “Make Me Whirl” from the Adventures EP successfully charted the Hitz Top 40 countdown and remained #1 on MET 10 charts for three consecutive weeks. The quirky song tells a story of the many ways of keeping the love in progress with the convenience of connectivity such as Skype and Tumblr. Charming, calming acoustic folk-pop for the “BIg Data” age.

Claudia Tan

Claudia Tan Ann Zhi first popped onto our radar with several performances at The Bee. Turned out she’s not just a talented singer-songwriter, the lovely lass is a hugely popular romance author on Wattpad. A loyal contributor to the social storytelling platform since she was 16, her Perfect series gained massive popularity, accumulating more than 120 million reads combined, nabbing the People’s Choice Award in the Wattys competition in 2015 and 2016! That said, she would not be pushing books at the show, Claudia Tan will be gracing NBT to strum her uke and sing.
