saya punya IDOLA!!!


Background Yuna is an independent Malaysian singer-songwriter. She began writing her own songs when she was 14 years old, and her first performance of her own songs was at the age of 19, after she learned how to play guitar. She has performed in numerous acoustic shows and events in many parts of Malaysia since 2006.

[edit] Personal lifeWhile being active in the music scene, Yuna was also a law student at Universiti Teknologi MARA in Shah Alam, Malaysia. In 2009, she completed her undergraduate degree as a Bachelor of Legal Studies (Hons.).

Yuna also co-owns a unisex clothes boutique, IAMJETFUELshop, in Subang Jaya, Selangor as a side project.

[edit] MusicYuna started out as a solo Myspace artist in 2006, singing in both English and Bahasa Malaysia. Her music influences include Feist, The Cardigans, Coldplay, Sia and Bob Dylan.

Yuna's meteoric rise in the Malaysian indie music scene is largely due to the strong following she gained via Myspace. Having played at many gigs since the release of her Demo, she is now focusing on promoting and performing music on her debut EP.

Yuna describes her music as "a cross between Mary Poppins and Coldplay".[1]

[edit] SessionistsOne of the first few people who expressed interest in her music was Farhan Fadzlishah aka Pa'an (Telephony Delivery), who later became her supporting guitarist. Along the way, Efry Arwis (Lightcraft) helped her with the bass while Adib Azfar handled the drums. Adil Ali (Seven Collar T-shirt) replaced Adib Azfar after the latter quit to concentrate on his drumming role in Oh Chentaku.

Yuna performs with her band when she is not active in acoustic gigs.
