Theres this particular song called 'Peace and Harmony' frequently played on our local radio station Kristal FM, I must've heard it a dozen times since earlier this year, but only today have I discovered who the singer is.. his name is Aziz Harun. And much to my surprise.. he's a local Bruneian, furthermore.. he's probably only 12.
The song really hit my interest big time! I've always been curious about the song ever since I first heard it, I've never really seen it being featured on MTV, let alone being played once there. But all the answers came springing in on me all at once when I typed the name of the song along with part of it's lyrics and search it on Google.
And man, did reality slap me hard! The singer, who I've always pictured in my mind to be a blonde country girl with short jeans, was apparently a pre-teen boy (which basically explains the voice-misunderstanding I had) who lives in the same country as I do, maybe even in the same neighborhood -that I don't really know. Him being a local is way better than what I had expected, yes way better than that country girl from my delusions. lol.
I realized I'm a bit late on the recognition front, I reckon probably the whole country knows who he is by now. Nevertheless though, I must say I'm really impressed with his work, Aziz wrote and composed the song when he was just 11. For a boy that age, I'm really surprised the song isn't about his crush or having to party every Friday like you-know-who but instead the message he sent in the song is about peace amongst the people across the world. The music and lyrics are simple and down to earth, yet enough to make the song one of a kind.
Not only that, I've listened to some of the songs that he covered on Youtube, Aziz has one heck of a voice and a talent that will bring him far in life.. I'm supporting you all the way little dude, looking forward for more of your original songs!
