The MTV Europe Music Awards (EMAs) is an award show that celebrates good music from Europe and Asia, and every once in a while, we see Malaysians getting nominated and winning under the Best Southeast Asia Act category.
In fact, just last year, Yuna was nominated and our very own Joe Flizzow won the trophy back in 2018!
Well, we’re proud to say that this year, another Malaysian act has been nominated and is in the running to win Best Southeast Asian Act of 2020, and it’s none other than K-Clique.
This year, the hip hop group with eight members (MK, Noki, Tuju, SoMean, KDeaf, FareedPF, Gnello and NastyNas) from Kota Kinabalu, Sabah is nominated for their song, Merais.
Others who were nominated include Benjamin Kheng from Singapore, Ben&Ben from the Philippines, Agnez Mo from Indonesia, Violette Wautier from Thailand and Jack from Vietnam.
“We are definitely very grateful as we are no one. Now, we are on the international stage. It never crossed our minds that one day we would be nominated for an MTV EMA. We are definitely hoping to win as it is a very prestigious award. However, being nominated alone is a proud moment and is a huge deal. We hope that our fans will support and vote for us in the mission towards holding the prestigious trophy,” they told Harian Metro.
We honestly couldn’t be any more happier and prouder for them!
Good luck, K-Clique, you certainly have our vote.
