VJ Alan & VJ Hanli Teruja dengan line up di MTV Music Evolution Manila 2016

Baru-baru ini Selebriti Online telah menemual dua VJ sensasi MTV iaitu Alan & Hanli mengenai MTV Music Evolution Manila 2016 yang bakal diadakan pada 24 Jun serta MTV Show Musim Ke 5. Berikut adalah temubual eksklusif tersebut :

1. Who are you most looking forward to seeing/ your favorite act at MTV Music Evolution Manila?

Alan – I’m really excited to see One Republic perform. I’ve been listening to their music for a while now.

Hanli – I’m looking forward to seeing Far East Movement perform again. We’ve worked with them before during MTV World Stage Malaysia and they put on a really awesome show. Everyone in the crowd was going crazy.

2. Tell us more about this year’s lines up and your comments about it?

Alan – I think this year’s lineup is awesome. Nadine Lustre and James Reid have everybody’s attention in the Philippines and with their phenomenal success this year, there could not be a better time to have them perform at MTV Music Evolution Manila. Gary V and Gab Valenciano are really talented, Far East Movement puts on an amazing show, Apink is one of the hottest Kpop groups out there, Bebe Rexha is tearing up the charts, and I’m sure One Republic’s performance will be epic. The best part about this show is that there’s a different type of pop music for everyone to enjoy.

Hanli – There’s something for everyone with this year’s lineup. This year’s theme is Can’t Stop Movin’, meaning that everyone’s going to be dancing and partying hard throughout the night! The lineup consists of One Republic, Far East Movement, Apink, Bebe Rexha, James Reid, Nadine Lustre and Gary V featuring Gab Valenciano. From pop rock to K pop to hip hop, every performance will be bring a different vibe to the table.

3. On your wish list, which acts you want to see next year?

Alan – It’s hard to say who would be on that list. There are so many amazing new artists out there making new music. I’d be interested in seeing a MTV Music Evolution show aimed at rock fans with bands like Imagine Dragons or Kings of Leon performing. I think that would be a really cool direction to take if the event is held next year.

Hanli – I would love to see Little Mix! They’re one of my favourite girl groups. I would also love to have Alicia Keys.

4. Tell us more about MTV Music Evolution Manila, what are you most anticipating for this year?

Alan – I’m most excited to the crazy audience that shows up for this concert. With over 22,000 in attendance last year and an amazing lineup this year, I can only imagine that the SM Mall of Asia Concert Grounds will popping off.

Hanli – I’m anticipating the fans! Music fans here in the Philippines go hard. Their online chatter caused our hashtag #MTVMusicEvo to trend during the concert last year. Throughout the whole night the crowd’s energy was strong and consistent. We had over 22,000 attendees last year and we hope to dance up a storm with more fans this year!

5. So we heard that the MTV Show Season 5 has just premiered; tell us how excited you are about that and what can fans expect?

Alan – I’m honestly very excited about the new season. We’re changing some things about the format and feel of the show. I think season five is a bit more down-to-earth and intimate than past seasons. It’s a bit like sitting down with a couple of your friends and just having a chat about what’s going on out there in world of music, news, and pop culture. It’s been a lot of fun filming the first few episodes of this season.

Hanli – This season of The MTV Show is a lot more fast paced than previous ones. I’m always excited to start a new season of the show. It allows our team to be a bit more daring about what we produce. It allows us VJs to be more of ourselves on television and it gives us an opportunity to add more personality to our show. Expect more laughs, more music, more artists and a wider coverage of what is trending in the world.

TROPICANA Returns With ERATKAN JALINAN Campaign This Year

There is no reason to not balik kampung this Raya season as Tropicana Eratkan Jalinan campaign is back and it is their 4th year running this campaign to unite and strengthen connections with loved ones in order to enable them to share real moments and lasting memories together.

The brand continues its tradition of teaming up with Era FM to offer five air tickets to bring your loved ones, be it family or friends, back from abroad. All you need to do is log on to the website www.tropicana.com.my and send in your submissions online.

And this year the brand is sponsoring close to a whopping 1,000 KTM rides and will go a step further by offering rides to the East Coast on top of the routes to Padang Besar, Ipoh and Johor Bahru from Kuala Lumpur. There are no special conditions to qualify for this campaign. “All you need to do is to redeem your tickets at the KTM counter at KL Sentral Level 2 (Gate 2) on June 12,” said Hemalatha Raghavan, Etika Sdn Bhd Vice President of Marketing and Business Development.

She added that the tickets redemption starts from 10am onwards and the tickets will be given away based on first-come-first-serve basis. However, the redemption is limited to two tickets per person so that more consumers can be reunited and benefited from this program.

Topicana Pack 02

However, this year, instead of focusing on sending family members home, the brand is giving the campaign a new dimension by broadening the idea to not just focus on families but on strengthening and fostering connections with everyone. One way that this is done is by extending the platforms of the campaign further.

Instead of just offering rides via Grab (formerly known as MyTeksi), the brand is tying up with GrabHitch – a new product by Grab that utilizes the concept of “car-pooling”. You can now travel home with someone who’s from your hometown and foster new connections – all in all, to make the ride home that much more enjoyable. Book your trip back home on the Grab app, between June 6 to June 24 and ensure your travelling dates are between June 25 to July 14. Take advantage and travel home with a new friend this Raya for free!

Beyond that, Tropicana wants you to let your loved ones or those that matter to you know you are thinking of them this Ramadhan month. As it’s a time of forgiveness during this period, whether you’d like to ease tension, re-establish an estranged relationship or simply drop someone a note to remind them that you’re thinking of them – Tropicana wants to be the enabler for you to do so. Grab the chance to send your loved ones or the people who you would like to reconnect with a limited edition Eratkan Jalinan pack, which consists of 1.5L Tropicana Twister together with a greeting card. The brand is committing to send out 1,000 packs on behalf of you to your respective recipients. The details and submission portal can be found on Tropicana’s website.

To make it an even more meaningful season, consumers can join EraFM announcer, Adi and the Era cruisers on 26 June at Rumah Kasih Harmoni Paya Jaras Selangor, to  spend quality time with the children ahead of Hari Raya. In addition to that, the Tropicana team will be collecting donated items from the kind members of the public at Tesco Extra, Shah Alam to give back to the society. This will be a fun and great way to share some of the joy with those who are not as privileged and to strengthen as well as foster relationships with the community.

“Let’s join hands for this Raya together, and we hope that our show of love will make their festive season a little brighter,” said Hemalatha.

“There is no greater gift than the gift of time and reunion with families, friends and loved ones, especially during festivities. At Tropicana, we are always looking for little ways to bring families, friends and loved ones together.”

“War Of Bands – Joe Wings mencari protégé”

Industri hiburan negara suatu masa dahulu meriah dengan kehadiran bermacam kumpulan muzik. Kehadiran pelbagai jenis kumpulan dengan beraneka nuansa muzik yang dimainkan serba sedikit mencorakkan industri hiburan tempatan dan merancakkan penjualan album, video konsert dan bermacam jenis produk muzik yang berkaitan.

Akan tetapi melewati ke era millennium, satu demi satu kumpulan muzik hilang dari persada muzik tempatan. Manakala kewujudan kumpulan baru yang membawakan genre muzik terkini pula tidak banyak yang berdaya tahan dan mampu menongkah arus cabaran dalam industri hiburan Malaysia.

Bertitik tolak daripada ini, JMP Productions dan Tio Studio dengan kerjasama Anggerik Event berbesar hati untuk menganjurkan “War Of Bands – Joe Wings mencari protégé” yang betujuan untuk cuba mengulangi kemeriahan industri hiburan tempatan yang pernah melalui zaman kegemilangannya suatu ketika dahulu.

IMG_6427

Pertandingan mengikut konsep ‘Battle Of The Bands’ yang pernah popular satu ketika dahulu. Cuma bezanya kali ini peserta yang layak berpeluang merakamkan karya mereka untuk dimuatkan ke dalam album kompilasi serta mendapat tunjuk ajar dan sokongan dari susuk yang tidak perlu lagi diperkenalkan lagi dalam arena muzik tempatan – Joe Wings.

Selama lebih tiga dasawarsa ‘mengperhambakan’ diri sebagai anak seni, Joe Wings adalah satu figura yang tidak boleh dinafikan impak dan pengaruhnya dalam industri hiburan tempatan amnya dan untuk muzik rock khususnya. Dengan pengalaman selaku pemain gitar utama kumpulan Wings, pencipta lagu, penulis lirik, penerbit album, pengarah persembahan, pemain gitar undangan dan pernah bergelar pelakon sudah lebih daripada mencukupi untuk melayakkan Joe Wings mencari pelapis berkumpulan agar segala ilmu dan pengalaman beliau sepanjang bergelar artis dan pemuzik dapat diperturunkan dan diwarisi kepada generasi baru.

IMG_6436

‘War Of Bands – Joe Wings mencari protégé’ akan dijalankan secara saringan di tiga lokasi yang ditetapkan iaitu:

Saringan pertama – Johor Bahru, 31 Ogos 2016

Saringan kedua – MAEPS Serdang, 16 September 2016

Saringan ketiga – Ipoh, 1 Oktober 2016

Yuran penyertaan untuk setiap kumpulan adalah sebanyak RM 300.00 dan setiap penyertaan akan mendapat 5 helai t-shirt secara percuma. Had umur penyertaan daripada 15 tahun hingga 35 tahun sahaja. Bagi setiap penyertaan, pihak penganjur akan mendermakan sebanyak RM 30.00 kepada tabung kebajikan Yazit Search. Format pertandingan peringkat saringan memerlukan setiap kumpulan menyampaikan 3 buah lagu samada tempatan, antarabangsa ataupun lagu ciptaan sendiri.

Pertandingan akhir akan diadakan di MAEPS Serdang pada 16 Oktober 2016. Sebanyak 4 buah kumpulan akan dipilih untuk ke pertandingan akhir dan juri pada peringkat akhir nanti ialah saudara Hillary Ang, Yazit Search dan Joe Wings. Pada peringkat akhir, setiap kumpulan diwajibkan membawakan 1 lagu ‘cover’ dari kumpulan Wings yang diolah kembali mengikut citarasa sendiri dan 1 lagu ciptaan sendiri.  Juara akan menerima hadiah wang tunai RM 5,000.00 dan sebanyak 12 kumpulan termasuk yang berjaya ke pusingan terakhir akan dipilih untuk merakamkan lagu dalam satu album kompilasi yang akan diselia dan diterbitkan oleh Joe Wings sendiri.

IMG_6426

Satu kelainan pada pertandingan ini berbanding pertandingan muzik yang lain ialah selain menumpukan kepada kumpulan berbanding penyanyi solo, setiap kumpulan yang bertanding diberi peluang beraksi di atas pentas bertaraf konsert yang dilengkapi dengan sistem bunyi bertaraf antarabangsa yang kebiasaannya hanya digunakan dalam konsert-konsert berskala besar. Ini bertujuan untuk memberikan satu suasana dan dimensi baru kepada setiap kumpulan yang bertanding untuk merasai sendiri pengalaman bermain di atas pentas bersaiz besar yang dilengkapi sistem bunyi bertaraf antarabangsa. Seterusnya dapat memotivasikan setiap kumpulan yang bertanding untuk memberikan persembahan yang terbaik setaraf dengan kemudahan yang diberikan. Untuk kumpulan yang terpilih merakamkan lagu dalam album kompilasi pula, Joe Wings sendiri akan memberi tunjuk ajar serta bimbingan sepanjang proses rakaman.

Diharapkan dengan penganjuran ‘War Of Bands – Joe Wings mencari protégé’ ini dapat menyemarakkan kembali arena muzik tempatan dan seterusnya dapat melahirkan pelapis-pelapis yang bermutu dalam menghasilkan karya-karya baru dan malar segar. Ribuan terima kasih diucapkan kepada Teh Tarik Place Setapak Central yang sudi menaja tempat dan makanan untuk sidang media ini. Semoga penganjuran acara ini juga dapat membuka mata penaja-penaja yang berpotensi di luar sana untuk melabur dalam melahirkan pelapis-pelapis hiburan tanahair.

“Muzik itu seni, bakat adalah anugerah, protégé adalah penyambung legasi. Mereka berhak dihormati dengan didikan melalui saluran yang betul. Barulah akan menjadi bintang yang bersinar dan berkualiti, bukan bintang bermusim…

Jadi pilihan di tangan anda. Bakat anda adalah karya anda. Bukan orang lain yang tentukan nasib anda…

Berkaryalah dengan cara anda dan kami akan tunjukkan jalan yang sewajarnya!”

-Joe Wings-
