HITZ LOKALah Live Puts Malaysian English Music In The Spotlight

Underscoring its pledge to uplift homegrown talent, HITZ gathered music lovers and leading Malaysian English-language acts for HITZ LOKALah Live, a showcase championing the country's fast-rising English music scene.

Staged at JAM PJ in Petaling Jaya, the show drew more than 500 attendees for an evening of live performances. Disagree, DOLLA, Insomniacks and Passenger Seat took to the stage, while HITZ Official DJ, DJ DEF, set the mood with a high-energy mix of local and international hits.

Designed to spotlight Malaysian English artists and deepen the bond between performers and fans, HITZ LOKALah Live gave audiences the chance to get up close to their favourites while discovering new local names. The event further cemented HITZ’s continued support for Malaysian English music across its on-air and on-ground platforms.

Sean Farrell Matjeraie, Brand Manager of HITZ, said: "Supporting Malaysian English music goes beyond playing songs on air. It is about creating opportunities for artists to connect directly with the people who listen to and support their music. HITZ LOKALah Live reflects our commitment to championing local talent and giving Malaysian English music another platform to shine."

The event was made possible with support from official partners JAM PJ and Team Sound & Light, whose collaboration delivered an engaging live experience for artists and audiences alike.

Beyond HITZ LOKALah Live, HITZ will continue creating avenues for Malaysian artists to be discovered, heard and celebrated. Through its radio, digital and on-ground presence, HITZ remains focused on connecting local talent with wider audiences and boosting the visibility and growth of Malaysia’s English music ecosystem.
