Tell us more about yourself.
I happen to be a Malaysian who did not grow up in Malaysia. I grew up in three countries – UK, Brunei and Indonesia, but I came back to Malaysia after completing my high school and I have been living here for seven years now. Living abroad is all about meeting the different people and getting to know the various cultures, and it has been a wonderful experience. I’ll never trade it for anything else.
How did you get started in the music industry?
I’ve always been really interested in music since young. I sang a lot and I’ve been recording my own stuff since I was a kid. Though I did get sidetracked as I grew up – I worked in advertising for a little while after college, I’m now seriously focusing on my music again. I’m doing it full time now.
What’s your brand of music like?
Experience wise, it has been a little crazy. I started off playing classical music on the piano – that was my first hands-on experience with music. Then I became more involved in rock, blues and jazz. Actually during my teenage years I was playing a lot of rock songs. I guess I have experienced making a lot of different types of music. My direction now? I would say more soul and R&B
What’s your musical inspiration?
Growing up, I listen to a lot of Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston and Sheila Majid. In a way, those artistes have inspired me since I was very young to be really involved in music. Now I would probably say what inspires me most is what I go through in life, the people I meet and situations I come across. I take that stuff and transfer it to my music. You could say life inspires me.
What’s your fashion style like?
It has really evolved over time. My style five or ten years ago is different from what you see now. I used to really wear a lot of black. Yes, it made me feel really dark all the time and I got tired of it. So, I started wearing colors. Now I feel more like a rainbow and it makes me happy.
Do you think that fashion and music goes hand in hand?
Not for me. I don’t combine my music and my fashion style. I feel that its two separate things. I don’t change the way I dress because of my music. You know how when you’re younger you dress a certain way and as you get older your fashion changes? You change, your music changes, your fashion style changes. It happens separately. It’s part of how one’s life evolves I think.
Tell us about your experience being a PUMA ambassador and about filming for their Happy Hunting campaign.
Being a PUMA ambassador is awesome. It’s kind of odd seeing myself on a big poster though. Shooting the PUMA Happy Hunting video was fun but tiring. I had to arrive at the Gardens mall before all the shops were open. Then I and to run around as they filmed me. Definitely fun but really, really tiring.

NINE MINUTES WITH NADHIRA

“My style is influenced by my mood. Depending on how I feel that day is how I choose to clothe myself… if I feel like a bird, I might just wear a bird suit and walk around.”
2. What’s your current fashion obsession?
“I don’t normally have fashion obsessions BUT these days, I’ve been wearing a lot of high-cut sneakers, flat-rimmed caps and chunky jewelleries… easy, sporty and girly at the same time.”
3. Share your biggest fashion pet-peeves with us.
“Don’t have one. I don’t really care what people wear as long as it makes them happy.”
4. How does it feel to be appointed as the brand ambassador of Puma Malaysia?
“It feels great but at the same time, it feels very random. However, I am honored to be among the chosen ones!”
5. Are there similarities between the brand Puma and your personality?
“Definitely! Puma is a brand for active people and I am really active in my movements and how I approach life in general… so, Puma sneakers work well for my active feet… hehe! Not to forget, I dig their designs – that’s the most important thing.”
6. Tell us about your most memorable fashion moment.
“I don’t really have one… maybe a silver spacesuit for the snowy weather, but that was like 20 years ago.”
7. Will there be plans for more fashion collaborations with Puma?
“I really hope so! They are busy with a lot of campaigns and I am always a part of it.”
8. Would you like to design your own fashion line for this brand?
“Can I say HELL YEAH? If not, then…YES!”

Yooo!!!
What"s going on blog!! I haven't visited you in a while coz I've been away in Indonesia working on new chuunes.
I had such an amazing time in Jakarta seeing my old school mates, music friends and just completely immersing myself in getting creative and inspired.
I don't know but the Jakarta vibe tends to take out a lot from me. Throughout the whole time, i was working from a home studio at Ras Muhammad's. Anyhow, me being the psycho perfectionist that i am, will not drop any new tunes online or radio until everything is ready with the mixing and mastering. Be sure to hear some amazing new stuff from me! I'm excited!
So I'm back now, and i'm back to getting more shows booked and pushing my "From Malaysia With Love" CD. STILL haven't grabbed one yet? geeez what in the world are you waiting for? hehehe...... you can find it at +wondermilk's front counter :) Grab grab!
Ok, I thought I was going to blog longer but I have to rush for an event right now. I'm gonna update more on Monday! :)
Much love from me, for now......

Singing the national anthem 'Negaraku'
It was an honor to be able to sing 'negaraku' (My Country) for the Asian Basketball League (ABL). The game was live on ESPN. It has been a very long time since I've sung the anthem but I did it!! and it was alright :) I could have done better...!! Perhaps the next one?
Hakim managed to video it for me so here's the footage. Enjoy and leave a comment!
I'm going to be gone this whole month. Will be in Jakarta for 3 weeks for a creative retreat! Y'know...we have to get outta here once in a while to get inspired. I hope it all comes to me and my creative juice will flow!!!
Until then, I'll keep updating.
Peace & Love, Nadhira

HAPPY 2011!!
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!
You know that people say 'how you spend your new years is how the rest of your year will turn out'? Ever heard of that saying? Not sure if I believe it but this was how I spent my new years. At a Mauy Thai event watching bunch of guys kick eachother's ass. What a kick watching them fight! Did I mention that it was live on TV Channel AXN and ASTRO ARENA?
Day 1 performances were Atilia followed by Poova.
Day 2 performances were Nadhira followed by Senoritas
*Thank you Rentak Sejuta for the photos!
It DOES take a lot of nerves to step out there and sing in front of strangers I tell you! Wish I had more backup support backstage!!! Booohoo :( Psychological stuff....
Overall, it was a fun night, laid back...not too much drama THANK GOD I was not surrounded by drunken children that spit in your face when talking to you... hehe...
May this year of 2011 be filled with the fruits of life, happiness, prosperity, growth in all aspects of life and more positivity than ever.
Peace and love,
Nadhira

Battery recharge needed
What's new? Nothing much.
Living a spliffin' life filled with adventurous rides and rollercoasters...haven't found the 'modjo' yet. All I know is that I look forward everyday to spending my January in my old home town - as i like to call it... Jakarta!!
Again, tryna find that 'modjo' but I'm sure once I'm in it, it will be something else. I think I feel this way because it's December therefore I feel like I have a reason to feel like I need to get re-charged. Man, do I even know what I'm talking about?It's like...I almost need to be in love with the music in order for me to spark that fire. Do you know??
Just dropping something random - I will get more done that's for sure...this is just a crapola teaser!
xx Love, Nadhira

On the run, again! Hunt me if you dare!!
I know I know, everytime I post something new up I whine about what a crazy week I've had...and I am NOT kidding you. It has been a crazzzzyyyy long week. I must say that December has been the busiest and most productive month in my life. So many events, so many people, lots of smiles and photo taking, and most importantly someone just got hitched...!! ;)
*Hums* if you like it then you better put a ring on it.. woah oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh!!
Since I'm on the constant run and always on the road (in traffic!!!) ... I'd like to see you try get a piece of me..
To find out more on how you can, just go to PUMA's facebook!

I've been hunted!
Friday - We drove up to Penang. I had such an amazing weekend performing for 7aste - Mild Seven. Satisfied that I managed to eat at my favorite penang spot in Gurney Drive at the hawkers stalls! Didn't get to snap any decent photo's to put up!
Saturday - The next day I went to Ipoh Sunway Lagoon for DVJ G Mix's set with Vandal. A group from Taiwan (I think!) by the name of Y2J came down to perform. They really had their massive chinese crowd singing along to their tunes!
I didn't understand a single word.
I have to admit though, I really love how scenic Ipoh is. I love all the mountains around that city it's beautiful! And I feel this way every single time I go there.
I bumped into my old friends which I haven't seen for over 2 years in a cave at the lagoon as I was walking to the toilet.
(I heard people growling in the cave) They were there for a metal gig called 'HITAM HITAM DALAM GUA'. hahahha how random is that? It was a Necrotic Chaos reunion with Wira back from Japan. Happy to have 'accidentally' bumped into the Ipoh metal militants! What a day I tell you.
Sunday - Drove back down to KL and headed straight to watch ABL (Asian Basketball League).
KL Dragons vs. Slammers (from Thailand). Apparently Slammers were on top and leading this season's ABL however, they did not SLAM as much. KL Dragons led the game and won, again! - I realized that the KL Dragons soundtrack is by Rogue Squadron...nice one guys..!
Overall - I missed the PUMA event that happened at Ecoba last Friday! I saw an awesome video footage of Wakaka Bboy crew performing. I was supposed to be there but hey!! there's only 1 of me.
And I've been hunted! Check the photo out here. Congratulations guys!
