To summarise: Ridwan writes, faviq sings, ..and (quoting Russell Peters) " TOGETHER.... we can wholesale ...!"
Thank you for visiting us. There's no greater feeling for an artist than to see that their work is appreciated. Making music is very enjoyable by itself, and that is why we do it, but your visits, messages and comments made us really ..... happy. Even if we don't know you .. A smile from a stranger on the street is still a smile.. :)... and it has a power to make my day anytime.
We're no way near what you call a Professional Artists. Melbourne has a very vibrant Indo-Malay Music culture and there are just so so so many talented musicians here..(Elmtree, Eva Mendez, Denera, Dexter, Najwa, to name but a few) we can only feel humbled.
Faviq's from Serawak, Malaysia and studying at Applied Biology/Biotechnology at RMIT and currently doing an internship and Ridwan's from Jakarta, Indonesia and just graduated from Swinburne and now looking for a career in Robotics Engineering. So music is not our day job although it's undoubtly has a very significant place in our lives.
There is nothing remarkable about us individually, .. we are nerds really, and enjoy the simple things in life like a good nap, a good book, and having a good laugh with our friends. Music is such a universal language and if our music could make you smile, reminisce, reflect, or simply help you geth through the day, then that is more than we can ever hope for. :)
Enjoy!!

2008 Update
Wow.. it's been two years, for those who kept asking us for new songs. All i can say is that I'm really sorry. I don't know if many of you know this, but Faviq & I have been living in seperate countries for the last 1.5 years, each of us doing our thing. 2 years ago, we recorded some songs, performed in our 1st and last gig together and went our seperate ways and have been under the musical radar, living a seemingly normal life. (also, Ridwan got married) If we cross path again in the future, we will definitely work together again. But till then. Individually, we may have some surprises in store in the near future. So, keep your ears open, be alert, and thank you so so much for your support and encouragement.
