Kuala Lumpur โ A new star is rising in Malaysia's music industry, and his name is Adam Nuqris. Fresh off a viral sensation on TikTok, where his emotional cover songs garnered over 68,000 followers, Nuqris is now making his official debut with the single 'Alasan.' This launch marks a significant step for the young talent, who is already being recognized for his unique 'raspy' vocal tone and ability to navigate genres from hip-hop to rock.
Saya tidak datang daripada jalan yang mudah dan semua yang saya lalui membentuk siapa saya hari ini, malah saya percaya muzik adalah tentang kejujuran dalam menceritakan apa yang kita rasa.
Nuqris's journey to the mainstream is a testament to his resilience and authenticity. Before finding fame through music, he worked as a barber and ran a food stall in Kampung Baru. These experiences, he says, have shaped his artistic identity and instilled in him a deep sense of honesty in his music. "I don't come from an easy path, and everything I've been through has shaped who I am today," Nuqris shared, emphasizing that "music is about honesty in telling what we feel."
The hit single 'Alasan' itself was born from a simple 30-second TikTok recording that unexpectedly resonated with listeners. "I thought it was just a small moment, but when many started to connect, I realized this was a story that needed to be completed into a full work," he explained. The song, a collaboration with Kidd Santhe, Saixse, and Altimet, delves into the complexities of emotional honesty and the bravery required to release relationships or situations that no longer hold meaning. As Adam puts it, "Sometimes we hold on too long, and at some point, 'leaving' doesn't mean losing but a form of the most honest courage."
Saya ingat itu hanya momen kecil, tetapi apabila ramai mula โconnectโ, saya sedar ini adalah cerita yang perlu disempurnakan menjadi karya penuh.
Under the management of SVLTAN Management and in partnership with Sony Music Entertainment Malaysia, 'Alasan' is now available on all major digital streaming platforms. This release is not just a song; it's the beginning of a promising career for a Malaysian artist who is determined to share his authentic voice and experiences with the world.
Kadang-kadang kita bertahan terlalu lama dan pada satu titik, โpergiโ bukan bermaksud kalah tetapi satu bentuk keberanian paling jujur.
