This week's exclusive interview is on a local Malaysian singer who plays a mean electric guitar :) See video below. (Kinda envy of her guitar skills, as the closest thing I know to play is a keyboard....computer keyboard. I always feel that a guy that has good guitar skills can be very attractive to the female species..damn!! I am not musically gifted)
Her name is Melinda Wong Wai Mei hailing from Petaling Jaya. She will celebrate her birthday soon on 9th November 1988.
Let's support our young and local music talent :)

1. What
is your full name, place of birth and birthday? A short bio-data introduction
about yourself.
Born and raised in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, Melinda Wong is a singer songwriter.
Melinda started playing the guitar at the age of 14 and discovered her talent for songwriting at the age of 16. That was also the time she started taking her singing more seriously. She has always loved music but it was when she was 18 and had her first gig that she realized how much she wanted to pursue music as a career.
A graduate from Sunway University with a Diploma in Performing Arts, she previously studied in the International College of Music for a pre-foundation course but decided to explore her other talents such as acting, directing and filmmaking.
She has performed in various places like Laundry Bar for RRecords Night, Earth Hour at Sunway Pyramid, a Homegrown event at Bentley Music, TM Consumer Convention at Istana Hotel and was in the top 18 of the ‘Got Talent Or Not’ competition held in the Library at e@Curve.
There are articles of her in The Star and The New Straits Times as the runner-up of a video competition hosted by Homegrown. Her video of her original song titled “Escaping the Smaze” stood out and gained her the spot.
She was also featured in the June issue of Blaze magazine (Sunway’s in-house magazine) and in April’s issue of Mobile World magazine. Aside from that, she has an impressive number of subscribers and video views on her Youtube page.
Her latest projects include 2 upcoming singles and possibly 2 music videos for the singles.
With a wide number of songs in her pocket that ranges from Rock to Country/Folk, she has chosen the path of Pop/Rock & Post Grunge and will in no doubt set the stage on fire with her rockin’ guitar skill and her powerful and passionate singing.
