ACROSS THE STRAIT MUSIC COLLABORATION BREAKS SILENCES


15 SEPTEMBER - Malaysian singer-songwriter KUIZZ’s latest collaboration with LA & Singaporean based artist sees light in a form of a freshly released upbeat track entitled “Silences”. For weeks coming up to the release, KUIZZ has been releasing teaser visuals creating a stir amongst his growing list of Spotify listeners eagerly awaiting his next single. He gained an immense following there thanks to DJs who began re-posting his music on SoundCloud and then through being included in sought after playlists on Spotify. 



Last year, KUIZZ released his debut EP "Till The End" which consisted of 6 self-produced tracks and garnered attention from media and pop music fans alike. The 2nd single "Uncool" which amassed over 100,000 plays on Spotify was even featured on Buzzfeed's "June Playlist" write-up, putting him on the same list as Selena Gomez and Lana Del Rey. 


Haneri who like KUIZZ, has also had some major success in the songwriting world co-writing the #1 K-Pop song "Wave" by R3hab X f(AMBER+LUNA). As an artist, Haneri has been featured on tracks by some of the world's best DJ's like Paul Van Dyke, Avicii and most recently Dash Berlin with his recent release "We Don't Belong".


The two originally met whilst on a writing trip in Los Angeles and worked on a couple demos together to pitch for other artists. A few months later on a brief trip to Malaysia, Haneri dropped by Maveriq Studios to link up with KUIZZ again to co-write and record a track he produced initially for another artist. Within a couple of hours, the song "Silences" was made and KUIZZ felt Haneri 
brought the song to a place where other artists he worked with previously weren't able to.


"Silences is about a relationship drifting apart caused by miscommunication and unspoken words" adds KUIZZ. The songs chorus delivers a catchy and memorable melody but also manages to maintain its emotion throughout. The artwork and lyric video was also designed by KUIZZ himself who dabbles a bit in graphic design as a hobby.


Silences is now available on all digital and streaming platforms.
