I was over at Astro last month on 20th April for the DIGIMUSIC Top 20 for an Interview... I managed to record the live footage...still trying to get the original copy but not sure if i can?...
Anyways... here's the interview...wish i could have spoken a bit louder I can't hear what I'm saying, but lucky there was a mic! lol
And here is the warm up session before that... with Aaron on guitars! :)

From Malaysia With Love EP on New Straits Times!
Hip hop MoveMint
2010/05/02AREF OMAR
Independent music label MoveMint is celebrating its second anniversary and all are invited to the party, writes AREF OMAR
FANCY grooving to the sounds of hip hop, funk, soul, R&B, reggae and more? Then join in the celebrations of MoveMint’s 2nd Anniversary Party on May 8. “Our strength is hip hop and urban music but not limited to any one genre, and we’re focused on talent development,” says Jason ’Vandal’ Schadt, co-founder of the independent music label. “It’s about any little thing we can do to make an impact, even if it’s coming up with the artistes’ profiles. We hit at the grassroots level, kind of like a schoolyard for artistes, before they hit the next stage.” The highlight of the event will be the launch of the EP, From Malaysia With Love, by singer-songwriter and MoveMint co-founder Nadhira Nishaa.
The multi-instrumentalist (she plays the piano, drums, guitar, sax and violin), now working on her debut album, has so far released two singles, Breaking Up and Do It Again, with the latter currently on the Hitz.fm Top 10 chart (the music video of the single at www.myspace.com/ira01).
She will belt out her smooth R&B and reggae-infused songs with a live band in a bon voyage performance (Nadhira and Vandal are set for a tour in Canada later in the month). MoveMint has been actively holding hip hop-related activities, including Think You Got Skillz? (TYGS), the country’s first rap battle event. So another highlight of the anniversary celebrations will be the first ever Malaysia-vs-Singapore rap battle, where the Supafriends Team SG will take on the TYGS All-Stars. Other programmes include beatbox presentations, freestyle demos, b-boy break dancing performances, live graffiti and an awards and appreciation ceremony. If these are not enough, there will be special performances by Schadt, Kraft, Micah and Senegalese dancehall artiste King Lhota as well as DJ Ideaz and The Silk Road.
“I think there’s plenty of talent here and more opportunities for them now as hip hop is pretty much a commercial pop culture,” says Schadt.
Catch The MoveMint party on May 8 (7pm-3am) at Envy Club, Lot K-0G-09, 10 & 11, SohoKL, Solaris Mont’ Kiara, Kuala Lumpur. Call 03-6203 0913 / 03-6203 0913 or visit http://themovemint.wordpress.com.

This is how it looks like in NST
You guys gotta come for the event! All details are below... :)

It's FRIDAY seems like the party days are over for me!
Yeah, I'm partying all alone in my room right now just listening to some old tracks for some healing....in need of real healing right this moment.
What's new? Seems like I always have something I wanna share everyday but could never find the time to share my thoughts here. I had the craziest dream last night...when I say crazy...I mean crazy! I saw myself in a video clip on TV doing the sickest thing like I'm so cool...apparently I had some crazy powers that made me run so fast in the streets in between cars, jumping on it while I sing....dance on the car with backup dancers behind on OTHER cars...lol...it took place in some foreign country. ..it was wild!! HA HA. I've never seen myself rocking it out so hard... and as I watch myself, I was aware that it was a dream that I even asked the person next to me (in my dream) 'is that me? are you sure?' .... 'woah...' ...'how come I don't remember doing any of it?'
HAHAHHAHA..... Yup.
Well I'm really excited about The MoveMint 2nd Anniversary Party this 8th May 2010!! I will be launching my EP. Speaking of it, I got pretty tight deadlines to finish it up...doubt it'll be perfect...but it's all good. It's a present that I'll leave behind for CANADA on my tour. Hope and pray for all the positive things this year and many more years to come...I ain't stopping, gonna keep coming with FULL FORCE! watch out people..lol lol.. kidding.
When I have the time, I will take my time to make things right... :) Still have dreams of an album that's 100% me. YESS.... my piano and I and I and my piano. Okay I REALLY have to stop dreaming. This is me spending my time on my Friday night!
Here's a picture of my soul instrument and my sacred space... check it!
Yeah, I'll decorate the space real soon to set some sort of 'inspirational' mood. hehe

Did I mention that this piano has been with me since I was 8? All the way from London baby.
It's a Dietmann piano.
Something funny about Fly FM =)
I just wanted to share my thoughts and laughter towards this....Ever since my song got onto the CAMPUR CHARTS (mid Jan 2010), my name was NEVER spelled correctly...at first it was Irie Ira (I may have confused the media with the 'Irie Ira' when I came out with "Breaking Up" ).. So then during the radio interview at Fly, I told them it's Nadhira... so my name changed but spelled 'Nadira'. Without the 'H'. and it went on for weeeeks like that...so I kinda gave up on trying to correct people with my name spelling... haha, so finally!! Today..... Jason says 'Hey your name on Fly changed again' ... so I checked....
and dum dum dummmmmmmmmm.......................
It's finally NADHIRA !!! Yay... so I'm happy... seeing the song sit on #2 with the name spelled the right way... :D
Please keep voting for me! I would like to see the song go to #1 just for the record! hehe....
Anyhooo, I posted a few new video's up on YouTube... go check it out!
Love, Peace and Respect, Nadhira

Breaking Up - YJ Remix
Kudos to Mr.Yuriz Joe for producing a total flip REMIX. He only heard my song once, took my vocals and switched it up to his own feel. I'd have to say that he has a really good imagination. Great producer..!
Listen to his craft right here man!
SO feeling the vibe....
