Suki Low's debut album, "SUKI - Finally | Akhirnya" is launched on June 19, 2008. One In A Million winner Suki Low hasn’t been making much of a ripple in the last two years, but her recent win at the AIM 2008 awards and a newly-released album, Finally, prove that she is far from forgotten.
Nonetheless, the 19-year-old lass from Seremban proved that she still had her foot in the door of the local entertainment industry when she won the Most Promising Artiste award at AIM 2008.
Though busy putting the finishing touches to her album last month, Suki consented to an interview.
“I’m so sorry for the delay,” she immediately apologised before flopping into her seat, arriving late for this interview at the KLCC. Thankfully, she had no airs about her, and proceeded to talk about how busy she’s been, working on her long-overdue album.
The album, aptly titled Finally was officially launched yesterday.
Simple life
To many, she is the girl who won the first OIAM award, the teenager from SMK King George V, Seremban, who juggled studying for her SPM and the competition, as well as Pepsi’s latest ambassador.
The Sagittarian is pretty much a “laidback” girl who is devoted to her family, loves shoes and bags (“I shop for things that I really need, but I won’t say no if I could have a different bag every day of the week,” she giggles) and whose life before OIAM revolved around singing in the school choir, teaching music and participating in talent shows.
While she admits that she “never, ever” imagined being where she is today, she recounts with honesty the path she had taken in life in the hopes of being a performer someday.
“Winning OIAM is a dream come true for me, especially when my main intention of joining OIAM was to meet Paul Moss and hear his critique on my singing,” said Suki who speaks fluent Mandarin, Cantonese, English and Malay.
“Having said that, I have been working for this all along. I love being on stage, and I took whatever chance I got to go on stage and perform especially whenever there was a visiting artiste in Seremban. That’s how people would remember me. Still, if I hadn’t won OIAM, I wouldn’t be where I am today,” said the former Astro’s Kids Talent Quest 2002 winner.
She attributes her talent to her family, particularly her grandmother whose love of singing rivals her own.
“I remember since I was in kindergarten, my grandma was always singing away on the karaoke. She loved singing! Both my parents are very musical too.”
What’s most refreshing is the respect and gratitude Suki has for her florist mother and businessman father.
“They really motivated me. They advised me that if I wanted to do something, I must go all the way and not do a half-baked job. That’s why I put my heart and soul into OIAM.
“My family really supports me; they make me feel complete.”
