UK punjabi enthralled Malaysian Fans

He made his fans all around the world go "balle balle", and now,  it was time for Jassi Sidhu to make the pumped-up and vibrant people in Malaysia at Southall II, Asian Heritage Row, KL feel the adrenaline rush through his blockbuster hits.

The UK bred Bhangra boy belted chart-busters and  made revelers fall crazily in love with his music especially with his London- British accent.

After getting pumped up by 24 of his hit music, I had a chance to meet the singer himself at the meet and greet session through the connection of my friend the Emcee, Bally Dhillon!!  It was nerve-wrecking to interview the famous singer, I had many thoughts gushing through my mind- all negative at first, until the singer gave me his prince-charming smile, that would make a nervous-wreck like myself feel automatically comfortable talking with him at the snap of a second. 

The British bred superstar was not only a breath-taking singer, but also a sweetheart during the 5 minutes (which felt like 5 second) interview.  During the whole course of the interview he revealed countless information about himself! 

Jassi Sidhu was born and raised in Birmingham, West Midland, England was one of the lead singers in the British Indian band B21, which he later spilt from the group to enhance his solo carrier in singing. His carrier blossomed tremendously and has toured many countries from U.S to Asia  and is an avid supporter of Liverpool. 
He has released 4 solo albums since, and his first release in 2003 plonked him a place in India , which he claims have him a more concrete foundation for his  solo career. "It was an amazing break-through," he mused. 
After his latest release in 2011, he made an appearance in BBC Asian Networking and told the media then that he would not be releasing any more albums after this. Although 35 year old singer retires from creating new albums, he wants to try other new things like signing a contract with the Bollywood industries and releasing new singles.

After the interview he went out and met fans who gushed through the waiting line to have him sign their posters and albums that they had previously bought.

The sponsors and organizer of this esthetic event, RMX eventz, Sweet mix roadshow and Trish events had planned a very successful event for people locally and internationally to truly enjoy the fusion music of Bhangra meet RnB music. They said that when the event was being organized, it was really tiring and cumbersome to get everything to turn out perfectly on the night of the event.  " Although there were lots to be done before the event started, I dont regret having driving around like a mad man to get everything going smoothly for the past few months" Sathish Singh from RMX Eventz said with a satisfied smile displayed across his face when I asked him how did he manage to pull off such a wonderful night.

This was a truly amazing experience and I would never let this memory of a life time be forgotten. Something I would definitely be talking about in the years to come.

    remember when writing a news story, it is about the news story and not about the reporter.

    overall not too bad, needs a bit of polishing in terms of writing, let the ideas flow.

    a better picture of the crowd?
