Do Yuna this girl?

This girl stood out like a rocket in my mind a few months ago, and has been lingering since.

1516582103_lYou may have seen her / heard her by now.

She is Yuna.

Although she may be in the early stages of her music journey, she is one of the rare local singer songwriters who, I feel, have commercial potential overseas.

She hails from Kuantan, wears a tudung, studies law in Uitm, and bleeds a raw, unpolished sincerity in her songs.

I like her for the same reasons I like Meor. In the global marketplace of homogenous musical talent, they appear to have stories of their own.

Speaking to Izham that day got me dreaming about the music business again. It’s a puzzle I never really solved, but I reckon I will revisit when the time is right.

    never heard of her… bt it’s a pleasant surprise to listen to her music on her myspace… i was like..WOW!!!

    it’s good to have more talented local singer/songwriter.. bright future ahead for her..best of luck!

  • she’s got an incredible voice!! I could put her music on 3 hr loops ;) kinda sounds like a blend of Dido and that girl who sang “Chasing Pavements”

    Why don’t you become her manager and push her onto the international scene?!

  • haha… nah im sure someone else can do it, n do it good :)

  • uik. sape yuna nih..

  • KLUE call this person ustazah rock

  • Wish I could do something like this. I’m one of the unfortunate-unhappy right now.

  • By the way, I did get attracted to this post because well… that girl’s name is Yuna. Same name as one of my favourite Final Fantasy characters.

  • Yuna entered the One in A Million season 1 and I thought she was brilliant. Luckily for her she didn’t make it through the first rounds otherwise she’d be singing sappy Malay love songs that haven’t left the 90s.

  • I wouldn’t mind revamping those sappy love songs. Make them un-sappy.

  • Yuna slept over my place last July since one of my housemate is friends with her.

    She’s so nice :)

  • she’s hot !

  • Still now I never heard of her. I will go ahead listening to her music. Good luck for ever to grow well in her music career.

  • I like her for the same reasons I like More. In the global marketplace of homogeneous musical talent, they appear to have stories of their own.
