In a musical landscape that more often imitates than creates, Ksatriya’s work has appealed to Malaysians for its originality and uncompromising honesty. After two years of performing, he is ready to release his much anticipated debut EP titled “RED”.
Ksatriya is a poet, songwriter and performer based in the historical city of Georgetown, Penang. His lyrical acuity and unique sound have entertained audiences in Penang as well as the capital city of Kuala Lumpur.
He has been nominated for a VIMA award and has performed at notable events such as The Georgetown Literary Festival 2012 as well as The Cooler Lumpur Festival 2013.
Ksatriya has said of his dedication to unvarnished truth in his musical storytelling – “Art is in my blood, if they take away my paint, I will paint in red.” His debut EP derives its title from this very quote, signifying the beginning of a musical journey that promises to take fans on one hell of a ride.
RED boasts 8 tracks of various genres ranging from World Fusion, Rap, Spoken Word, Blues, Hip-Hop and Rock, and is held together by Ksatriya’s descriptive vocal and songwriting style.
