My story: I'm Shelhiel, Malaysian artist, songwriter, and producer.
Growing up playing old PC games like Streets Of Rage, raving as a kid to hardcore/techno/house VGM by Yuzo Koshiro. I started out my production by combining my piano lessons, gospel & electronic music. After touring Southeast Asia, playing shows including Mixcloud x W Hotel’s Future Rising, also opening acts for Hyukoh, FKJ, I finally released my debut EP 2020 consisting of English, Malay, Mandarin songs which represents the multilingual & multicultural community of how I grew up in Malaysia. I just released my latest MV “Star”, a Y4K fantasy of Malaysian sinofuturism, which I self-directed.
I always felt that Southeast Asia is the last part of the earth that hasn't been fully explored by the world for their music. I wanna be part of the opening chapter, to bridge the different cultures+languages bringing SEA to the world.
