Nothing worth remembering.

I didn't mind Naili taking the trophy back home from the Bakat Bukit Nanas thing.

But seriously, if Ressonnant wins the top spot in the KL Finals, then that's the only thing I have to prove my worth in music. That'll be the only trophy I get for music throughout my school years. I've numerous certificates, but well... would people want to take a look at words, physical proof or both ?

I'm starting with almost nothing.

I'm nobody.

I'm nothing worth remembering.
I'm a nobody hoping to be somebody.

I don't just want to be seen, I want to be heard. I want my voice to be heard, I want my heartbeats to be heard, I want my songs to touch people's hearts.

Over here, it's an uphill task. The market is not small, as many people allege it is : we have 27 million people, and say that one third of them hate the genre I like. So that leaves 18 million people. Let's say that out of this 18 million, one third share the albums with their families. A family of three would make it 6 million. And let's say, out of this six million, one third share the albums with one friend. That leaves four million. If I can sell four million albums in Malaysia alone, that's already like, what ? Multi-platinum, baby ! And platinum is when we sell one million !

Here lies the problem : are people willing to support an up-and-coming, credible Malaysian musician ? I want to change the current scene.

I'm not surprised when they turn around and tell me, "Heh. A nobody trying to change the music scene. She can't do it." But it's only in putting in that effort that we become somebodies. I want to be a somebody. And when I take things into my own hands, I'll take that task myself and do it. After all, the world needs to recognise Malaysia as an artistic force too, not just a purely-scientific country. We need balance.
