I have so much respect for Datuk Syafinaz Selamat. She’s a singer, a
vocal teacher and a lecturer at the same time. She is so passionate about
what she is doing right now, and she has helped a lot of people, including
me. From her, I learned not to give up on learning. Each day, you learn
something new and you’ve got to improve yourself from day to day.
What do you think of the Malaysian music scene?
I think the Malaysian music industry is growing. There’s a lot of new talent
today and they’re venturing into multiple genres, not just pop. The use of
social media has really helped them to boost their own marketing to make
them mainstream. As an artist who has been around, I welcome them with
open arms as I can learn a lot from them as well.
How has social media changed you?
I use social media as a way to reach out to my fans and to give them
updates on my career. Less than half of my posts are about my personal life.
Social media helps us a lot, especially when you’re about to launch a new
single or album and you want the public to know about it. It really helps to
generate a lot of hype over upcoming concerts or new singles. Social media
makes a lot of things easier.
How do you react to criticism?
There are two types of critics out there, and I choose to listen to the
constructive ones who will motivate me and make me a better person. For
the rest who are critical and are always trying to put me down, I just turn a
blind eye and ignore them. Taking in constructive criticism is what helps us
to change.
