I first heard Malaysian singer-songwriter Yuna sing at Urbanscapes a few years back, and was absolutely STUNNED by her voice. I just knew she was going to make it big. Fast forward two years later and she’s hanging out with hip hop superstars like Pharrell in NYC. Crazy awesome for a Malaysian to break through into the scene there!

I have both albums she’s released so far, and actually bought them myself from Rock Corner. My favorite song from her thus far is Backpacking Around Europe, but she doesn’t have an official vid for that so i’m posting another one instead.

What i love about Yuna is that not only is she well known in the music industry, but on the fashion scene as well! If you didn’t already know, she owns and sources for her boutique – IAmJetFuel – and has achieved over 1,000 hypes on some of her LookBook uploads.

For those of you who haven’t been fortunate enough to catch her sing live (she’s one of those singers that bedazzle their audience live), Yuna will be collaborating with Malaysia’s No.1 pre-paid mobile provider Hotlink – to bring to you the first online concert!

The concert will be held on Wednesday 14 December, and will be streamed on the website at exactly 8pm.

Just like a concert, there are a number of ‘seats’ available, so you have to pre-book your spot on the website www.nowyoucan.my/yuna.

But unlike any concert, this has to be a collaborative effort between 10,000 fans to get it going! There are 10,000 spots available and there MUST be 10,000 fans who book their seats. Once you secure your seat, you gotta make sure you log on between 7pm and 7.59pm to experience the exclusive viewing.

I went to check out the press conference for it last Tuesday @ The Bee, Jaya One.

Yuna said, “I’m really glad to be part of this project with Hotlink.  It really is a unique effort to engage and collaborate with the online community. There are a few more fun bits that viewers and the public can get involved in, but we will reveal it when the time comes!”

T. Kugan, Maxis’ Head of Product, Device, Innovation & Roaming, said, “Yuna graciously agreed to work with us on this project to deliver an online performance to her fans who make up a big chunk of our Hotlink subscribers. We also felt that our collaboration should extend further to include our Maxis subscribers as well. With their support to get online and express their intent, Yuna will share with them a performance of a yet-to-be-released track.”

That’s right! Yuna’s gonna debut a new track to the public next Wednesday!
So make sure you book your spot at the first People Powered Concert in the world.
