Artist Information

ALYPH

ALYPH'S ascension began in the most important place: Singapore, home. Born from a musical and artistic family, ALYPH polished his skills as a rapper and producer to establish his individual style, paving the way for him to become a successful solo artist. ALYPH is one of Singapore’s biggest hitmakers with chart-topping hits such as SWIPE performing well in Malaysia and Indonesia. ALYPH's significant hits, Mimpi and Pun Boleh, have both charted in the top ten on Apple Music, and his complete discography has received over 22 million Spotify streams to date.  

Fariz Jabba

Fariz Jabba is a 24-year-old Malay-English rapper hailing from Singapore who proves a quadruple threat as a rapper, singer, dancer, and actor. Fariz Jabba started his career by posting home videos of freestyle raps and remixes that went viral on social media, trending the Fariz Jabba name in Singapore and Malaysia within months of his first upload. The only attention gained Fariz Jabba a signing with the Singaporean hip hop label that also gave rise to Yung Raja, MADEYOUFAMOUS, and a spot-on rap veteran Joe Flizzow’s online YouTube series, 16 Baris—a performance that would bring him into the spotlight garnering almost 500,000 views within less than three months. 

Liwani

Liwani started singing at the age of 11 and since has competed in several competitions such as Anugerah and SG Mania, in pursuit of her passion.  

 

After releasing her debut single Adakah Dia, Liwani is determined to continue making strides and leave a long-lasting impact in Singapore's music industry with her voice. 

Rahila Rashun

Rahila Rashun, a name that needs no introduction in Singapore’s music scene, is an astounding home-grown singer and performer who started her singing vocation at the age of 13. She also has the ability to perform in different languages. Her involvement in Malaysia’s first reality television show, Akademi Fantasia in 2016, broadened her horizon in the entertainment industry and it further ignited the inception of her singing métier where she traversed to Indonesia to partake in one of the largest dangdut music talent show, Dangdut Academy Asia 3! Rahila also emerged as the winner for SG MANIA, a singing competition, and a mega showcase of local established singers in Singapore in 2019! 

WIRA

Republic Polytechnic Dikir Barat (DKRP) has been active and dynamic in the local Dikir Barat scene with numerous achievements in both tertiary and national competitions since 2007. Wira, the all-boys team was formed in 2011 by six passionate individuals. The group has progressed significantly in performance standards over the years.
