KUCHING: A talented Malaysian artiste Cliff Umar aka 'Boy Cliff' is the latest artiste to perform at Victoria Arms (VA) of Merdeka Palace Hotel and Suites.

The acoustic showcase taking place every Wednesday from 8pm onwards will feature him together with local band 'The Acoustic Velvet'.

Cliff, currently under Neo Worldwide Entertainment, is the lead singer of Malaysia's well-known rock band 'Projek Pistol'.

He came up with his new self-titled single, which is stylistically a softer expansion of Projek Pistol heavy rock with hints of pop.

His eponymous album contains two songs in Bahasa Malaysia, 'Cahaya' and 'Hanya Kau'. The songs are written by Cliff himself and co-arranged by producer Jason Voo and Fariz Aslan, the two best young pop rock producers in the industry.

Cliff is also a seasoned stage performer of 10 years around the best live venues Kuala Lumpur has to offer, including Hard Rock Cafe and Planet Hollywood.

This is not his first performance in Sarawak and he is thrilled to have a chance to meet his fans here.

Every week he would choose a concept and perform the songs he handpicks, that range from top 40s to late 60s.

"Everywhere else, there is a live band and the music is loud. Here we introduce a softer raw music to enable the audience to relax, chit chat and at the same time enjoy the music," he said at a press conference at VA on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, the Acoustic Velvet comprises four members who have backed up several big events in town such as Anugerah Muzik Dayak and they are also teaching music at Universiti Malaysia Sarawak (Unimas).

VA said in a press release that it has always been keen to support any local artistes regardless of music genre.

The introduction of 'Cliff Umar and The Acoustic Velvet' marks VA's support in promoting aspiring Malaysian bands.
