IMAN

Hailing from the prolific and well-known melodic punk trio, Iman’s League, frontman and songwriter IMAN introduces a side of him unknown to many. Having written songs since 1999, the veteran musician released his debut EP Words Don’t Speak in 2018, a compilation of deeply personal and intimate songs. With this EP, he toured several venues across Malaysia and Bangkok with fellow folk-punk artist Yotam Ben Horin, and also supported John Will Sail (New Zealand) during his tour in Singapore.

During the pandemic lockdown in 2020, IMAN released Isolation, a full 10-track album produced and recorded at home. In 2021, he released the single The Irony. This year, IMAN took another step forward with his solo music by forming the band The State of Mind, with whom he released the single, Taking Time. Now, he is currently working on his third solo album, slated for release at the end of the year.

Always singing from his heart, IMAN takes influences from fellow folk punk acoustic artists such as Joey Cape, The Late Tony Sly (NUFAN) as well as indie folk rockers Dashboard Confessional and The Gaslight Anthem. Audiences can look forward to mellowed down versions of his originals tunes during his first solo set, while his second set will feature his back band, The State of Mind, for full acoustic band renditions of his songs.
