Let’s check out our local boys, with the debut of ‘Ku Kan Pulang’ (I’m Coming Home) by Tactmatic, Darren Ashley and Ego!
Tactmatic grew up listening to hip hop in his early teen years after the heavy influence of hip hop hit the nation with groups like Poetic Ammo and Too Phat leading the scene. With the mad love for Hip-Hop going strong , Tact tried everything hip hop from break dancing to graffiti only to realize that the microphone was what he worked best with.
Darren Ashley’s most recent work as a composer is electro pop music. His career started off as being the drummer of Busco ( 1st Place in MTV’s Battle of the Bands Asia and MRSC’s Songwriting Competition). Since then they have been featured on 8tv’s Quickie, MTV, Hitz.fm, Hitz Radar, Juice Magazine,August Man magazine and Newman magazine . They’ve also gone on to tour Singapore and Thailand alongside Parachute, a popular indie band hailing from New Zealand.
Ego on the other hand, a Malaysian singer/songwriter and the CEO of Egoistic Records, has made his name in the local scenes with the release of ‘Run This,’ and a whole lot more!
