REZA SALLEH<\/strong><\/p>\n Ask any cognoscenti and you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll get the same reply \u00e2\u20ac\u201c that Reza will likely be the next stalwart of the KL underground scene to break into the mainstream. Blessed with an ability to write good songs with strong lyrics, he is a superb solo live performer \u00e2\u20ac\u201c and as if to emphasize that the Almighty is generous when she bestows gifts on the gifted \u00e2\u20ac\u201c he is also smooth and smart.

Yet, not many have seen her play solo. This is your chance. And it is a chance you mustn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t miss because her songs are not only gems of compositional sophistication, but they are also filled with verve and commitment. Melina is technically brilliant. She is also charismatic and edgy. Scary good.<\/p>\n YOHEI MIYAKE<\/strong><\/p>\n Yohei hails from Tokyo.

As well as being a regular feature in many Japanese music festivals, Yohei organizes festivals, tours constantly and is a vocal socio-political activist. His music is upbeat, reggae-influenced, inspirational and fun. This is a rare opportunity to see one of Japan\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s top indie musicians in KL.
