A breed of 'Chikalo' (Brunei's Girl Rap Family), I've been introduced to the local rap scene only 4 years ago. My releases have been slow and steady, a result of luck, hardwork and opportunities. As of late, I work independently, hoping to strengthen the BRUscene in ways that Bruneians have not ventured in yet.
Why this name?
'Shorty' the term used to label chicks, but aside from the urban stereotype, I am short and I am the scene's urban lady. one. BN = Brunei.
Do you play live?
Brunei's scene needs to resurrect itself. We will. We do it live at the amphitheatre most of the time. Special moments include 'Absolutely Red', down with TTC at 'Urban Blackout' and 'Ezlynn's Showcase'.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Shorty says it's a blessin in disguise.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Ask me when the label comes :)
Band History:
Started listening to hip hop music during the teen years. I won't lie to you. I'm not an extremist who bows down to hip hop like it's religion, but i love the music along R&B and dig the beats and music production. I listen a lot to lyrics so when Brunei's hip hop community was buildin and everything, i thot that i'd give it a shot. Got together with some girls (like Zee) and formed Chikalo, this girl group family. We work together and also found sum guyz who new to d biz too. And tada. We just do our ish over the internet n hopefully ppl listen to it.
Your influences?
Man, there'z so many. I like 2Pac but i ain't influenced by him. Don't get me wrong, i do respect him. I love the R&B movement of Salt and Peppa, Angie Martinez and TLC. Love music by Babyface, KRU and listen to many underground ish by the world underground rappers. Everything'z a mix of influences, from travelling around n all. So u never kno what to expect.
Favorite spot?
Cardiff, Wales & McLean, Virginia
Equipment used:
a pc, a mic, and lyric book.
Anything else...?
:) I don't mind being whack. It's music of my soul.
