NABIL (MENTOR)

Nabil is known as a multi-talented artist. He sings, dances, choreographs, composes, writes his own songs and acts which are rarely found in local artists. Nabil can be a true star and Malaysia’s No.1 Male Artist. At the age of 17, Nabil wrote his first single “Hati Ini”, originally composed and lyrics by Nabil himself. “Hati Ini” was frequently airplayed and was at No. 1 on Xfresh, HotFM & Radio ERA Top 10 Chart, No. 2 on Sabah FM, Sarawak FM, Manis FM, Radio Pelangi Brunei, Radio Ria Singapore since 2006. Nominated for Juara Lagu 2006. Nabil then wrote his 2nd single “Hey Emma” in early 2007. The song was his tribute to Motown legends such as The Jackson 5 and Stevie Wonder, as he presented the song with Motown-styled music arrangements, with horn sessions, funk guitars and live drums, during the time when digital sequencers and programmed beats was heavily used in music. He decided to go for the “old school” feel for this song, even in the lyrics.
