***JEREMIAH ABRAHAM***

Jeremiah Abraham is a singer-songwriter currently based somewhere in the expanse of the Klang Valley in Malaysia. Jeremiah sings with all his heart, and plays his guitar as if it were an extension of his body. Notes of the Foo Fighters and Bob Marley can be heard in his unique renderings, both in English and in the native language of the land, Malay. Actively gigging since his high school days in various bands (Hard Cover and Crossing Boundaries to name a few), Jeremiah is now pursuing a solo career, with his first ever single Kita Kawan released on Monday, February 26th ‘18.

***HELLOLUQMAN***

Music has been a part of HelloLuqman's life since he was a very young boy. Forming a deep passion for both local and international music, the young singer-songwriter found joy in singing but he never thought of turning it into a serious thing.

The turning point in his life came when the movie 'Yes Man' inspired him on how one's world can be opened up to countless possibilities by only saying 'Yes'. That motivated him to pick up guitar and give it a shot by posting up his very first cover of the song Sunday Morning by Maroon 5.

Citing Brendon Urie, Ed Sheeran, and Bruno Mars as his influence. HelloLuqman has garnered more than 620,000+ views on his videos plus 3.3k+ subscribers on his YouTube Channel. He further proves himself as a force to be reckon with by winning the 2014 edition of Publika Live, beating other more established acts along the way.

***H.F. BADGER***

Straight from the burrows, H.F. Badger (alter-ego of singer-songwriter, Bob Ooi) is a bi-pedal creature that has zero physical resemblance to a Honey Badger. However, they both share two common traits - they both like to live alone (to an extent) and they’re notorious for their bad temperament. This particular (and rather peculiar) badger kept on digging through life’s struggles before he uttered these words - “Enough is enough”. 

He crawled out of his deep, dark hole and went back to his first love, music. Drawing many musical influences in his life (including Dallas Green from City & Colour and Josh Tillman aka Father John Misty), HFB channeled his thoughts of his personal battles with love, life and religion through hill-billy, folk music that people seem to poorly categorise it as ‘hipster music’. Let HFB enthral you with his folk guitar playing, his smooth yet robust singing voice and the occasional yodelling.
