After
six years of brewing, Froya’s first album is ready
March 11, 2015
With its chill, yet upbeat tracks,
Malaysian indie artist Froya is set to make bodies shimmy and heads bop.
Froya’s first album comes out this
year, led with its single “Dawn”. The brains and voice behind Froya is Michelle
lee.
migme: What does Froya mean? And
tell us something about you.
Lee: Froya means goddess of love and beauty. I just thought of my stage name. I used to be a bedroom singer/songwriter. (laughs)

What does that mean?
That means I was shy. I normally just hide in my room and write songs there. And then I went to college and I pursued music and after that I got a job as a full-time composer, writing songs for TV commercials and film scoring. I’ve been writing a lot of my own material and stuff—since I was 19 years old.

How did you get to performing
publicly from being a “bedroom singer/songwriter”?
I enjoyed production and writing songs. When my friends heard about my stuff they pushed me to go out and perform. The more I performed, the more gigs I got, then it became my side career.

Can you describe how your music
sounds?
I would say indie pop. (But) I don’t like to narrow it down, I believe that my sound will evolve as I grow older. I don’t really like to be categorized as vogue or indie. I really like to keep things fresh and keep it open.

What is your musical influence?
A lot… too many. I used to listen to a lot of jazz back then. And then after that I was into trip hop, electronic music, and then vogue, and then a lot of indie.

Do you have any specific artist you
look up to?
I really look up to Imogen Heap. Imogen Heap is really cool because she’s a singer/songwriter and producer, and she mixes her own stuff. Her album won the Album of the Year Grammy. I really look up to female producers.

Saturday, 7 March 2015
Two of our celebs are playing at the Java Jazz Festival #JJF2015! One is X Factor star Mikha who leads @theovertunesmusic and the other is Idol winner @rinniwulandari.
We have a post from a user @maltosa who says that he prefers @rinniwulandari. This caused Mikha to reply saying that @maltosa broke his heart. That post is here: http://mig.me/u/
Rinni has also responded with thanks to @maltosa. http://mig.me/u/
Will
the rivalry continue this weekend? Will Mikha show that he is just as
good as Rinni at the festival? Please reshare with #JJF2015, and
encourage people to send Mikha gifts of encouragement!
