***OYENT***
Oyent has been smashing the local pub scene with his live-wire energy, strong stage presence and exceptional fluency with Spanish hits, which won the hearts of many. He has had extremely successful years in music in the local night-life and pub scene with his cover bands “Acoustica” and ‘Magnifico’. A graduate from the National Arts Academy (ASWARA), his strong voice enables him to sing a variety of tunes while playing percussions.
In 2014, Oyent was selected to perform live for musical maestro AR Rahman at the press conference of his Infinite Love concert here in KL. Oyent moved to East Africa soon after and thought music as a volunteer with several NGOs.
Since returning to Malaysia, Oyent has made a remarkable comeback as a singer-songwriter, winning the Bronze award for his Malay song ‘Gemilang Deepavali’ in the JALAKX –VIMA Deepavali Song Contest 2017 and being the third recipient of the SKOWT Music Fund award. He is also a spokesperson for the Drug-Free Youth Association and actively shares his voice and personal experiences to educate the youth on the dangers of drug abuse, and how to rise again after a fall.
His repertoire consist of English, Malay, Spanish, Latin, Chinese and Tagalog cover songs by Zainal Abidin, Man Bai, The Gypsy Kings, U2, The Beatles, Ed Sheeren, etc. Oyent brings along with him his superb showmanship, spontaneous antics and naturally pleasant personality.
