SAL Priadi is who you call an all-in-one combo. A rare breed who is considered among the best in the Indonesian music and movie industries - and Malaysians can catch him live in his inaugural concert at Zepp KL this Saturday (Oct 13)
To wrap up his tour of five Indonesian concert venues, singer-songwriter Sal has chosen to stage a final show in Malaysia.
In a press conference held at Silverfox Cafe in Kuala Lumpur, the 32-year-old singer of the hit song, 'Dari Planet Lain', promised all music fans a memorable and entertaining night for concert-goers.
"This tour will mark my biggest performance in my home country as well as in Malaysia," said Sal, who will also perform his hits number, 'Dari Planet Lain' (from his second album, 'Markers & Such Pens Flashdisks').
"I always love to come here and Malaysian fans have always been supportive and kind to my music. I hope they will join me for a an unforgettable night of super music on Saturday (Oct 13)."
Known for his poetic lyrics and enchanting song melodies, Sal hopes to transport the audience on a thrilling emotional journey during the upcoming performance.
In 2018, the alternative-leaning singer surprised the industry with an AMI Award nomination for Best Male Pop Solo Performance, thanks to his second single "Ikat Aku Di Tulang Belikatmu" (Tie me to your shoulder blade). The following year, his collaboration with Nadin Amizah, "Amin Paling Serius" (Most serious amen), became one of the country’s biggest hits.
Last year, Sal, who is also an established actor, has said to be a truly a class of his own when it comes to his music, as written by many local media outlets in Indonesia.
The Jakarta Post, the leading English media outlet, in Indonesia said his second album was truly exceptional and reported that the result of his album is sweet, swoon-worthy and delightfully strange.
"The multifaceted artist’s sophomore album, ‘Markers And Such Pens Flashdisks’, is a romantic waltz between sweetness and strangeness" wrote Felix Martua (The Jakarta Post).
In fact, Sal also had performed at a showcase to promote his sophomore studio release in Malaysia.
"In that showcase I only had one hour to entertain my fans in Malaysia, so this time around I promise a concert of at least two hours, singing about 20 songs from both my albums." he said.
"All in all, fans can be assured of a magical musical night from me and my team on Saturday."
Meanwhile, Kharisma Music, the show presenters, added Sal's performances will be supported by a top class bunch of musicians and singers.
"Kharisma Music is proud to present the concert titled 'Sal Priadi Zuzuzaza Live In Kuala Lumpur' especially for his fans here," said Kharisma Music CEO and founder Ahmad Jaffny during the press conference. "This is our initiative to bring the best of music from this region to fans all over in Malaysia.
"We take this opportunity here (at the press conference) to promise a show fans will remember forever and also an inspiring show from one of the best singer from Indonesia."
