Tonight, Venopian Solitude in our studio earlier! It is the brainchild of Suiko Takahara, created in 2009 at an undisclosed college dorm room; it rides on a form of genre called experimenternative, a word blended from mixing experiment and alternative together.

Takahara’s music would use an extensive range of instruments, ranging from MIDI keyboards, the guitar to whatever she could grab her hands on (she once used a tissue box for a song she recorded). The Venopian Solitude has a brand of music layered with different sounds laced with strong lyrics about modern culture, whether on questionable actions, taboos and mother nature.

She notes that her influences are Kimya Dawson, Regina Spektor, Laura Marling, Kimbra and Kawehi to name a few. She was found by KasiGegar Entertainment Studios via Youtube after she did a cover of GoGerila’s Outlaw. Anas Amdan, one half of the studio’s founding members, said that her music is a refreshing change for the local music industry.

In 2013, she received funding from The Wknd to launch her first ever single titled Warkah Narcissus. By 2014 under KGE Studio, she released her debut album Hikayat Perawan Majnum. Containing eight tracks, all the songs were created by her and received minor touches by Anas. In the same year, The Venopian Solitude was nominated for Best Music Arrangement, Best Music Video and Best Album Recording at the Anugerah Industri Muzik 2014

For the record, Takahara scored 21 points!

Tonight we had the main man behind the camera for all of JinnyboyTV’s Youtube films, he’s the pint-sized half of the ever popular online channel; it’s the one and only, Reuben Kang! We sat down with the Youtube directing maestro and quizzed him with a round of questions. (Lucky for him, no electric chairs included this time)

Reuben’s life of film started off as being a Production Assistant for local production companies at the youthful age of 16. He continued to nurture his passion well into his tertiary education by graduating from Lim Kok Wing with a degree in broadcasting and with two honours. His highlight was winning awards at Astro’s NextGen Contentpreneur 2008 for his film Lock. It won Best Short Film and was nominated for Best Art Direction.

Reuben joined J. Walter Thompson, a top international advertising agency, during his time in JWT, Reuben was decorated with wins from the prestigious Kancil Awards in 2011 & 2012 for his work for Dutch Lady and Ford. His portfolio is a huge range from theatre productions, music videos, television commercials, documentaries and even 3D animation series.

Reuben’s partnership with Jin Lim all started in 2011 when Jin called Reuben for a video interview with Youtube musicians, Jayesslee. Soon after the interview, the idea for Ah Wing: Malaysia’s Number One Salesman popped up, the video quickly went viral and it all snowballed from there for JinnyboyTV. The partnership won the Digi WWWOW Awards’ Funniest Video of the Year for My Generasi in 2012, and has been nominated twice for the Shout Awards.

Apart from Youtube, Reuben is part of a football TV show on Astro called Football Overload. Reuben is also the co-founder for Morningwood, a cafe situated in SS15, Subang Jaya. It was formed alongside fellow Youtuber Jared Lim and Youtube actress Marianne Tan.
