In Malaysia, love overpowers negativity, says Yuna - superadmin - 09-16-2023
PETALING JAYA: In 2011, local singer Yuna moved to the United States to further her music career. More than a decade may have passed, but the Kedah-born performer still holds her Malaysian roots close to her heart.
Some people prefer not to talk much about their origins, mostly to fit in – Yuna, however, wears her heritage as a badge of pride.
“It’s everything to me. The essence in me is Malaysian. Even though I live in Los Angeles, whenever I walk into a recording room, it’s ‘a Malaysian walks in’. I just immediately talk about food, my country, my culture. I’m like a walking billboard for ‘Malaysia Truly Asia’ everywhere I go,” Yuna told FMT Lifestyle with a laugh.
