RIA’s 897 celebrated programme, Singa Maksima, returns to the stage after a long hiatus, bigger and better than ever! Happening for the very first time, the show combines with Locals Only, a TikTok live show that introduces and celebrates an extensive repertoire of music in Singapore. The event aims to bridge the gap between listeners and artists such as ALYPH, Fariz Jabba, Liwani, Rahila Rashun and WIRA from Republic Polytechnic, winner of the dikir barat battle Piala Suara Serumpun 2023.
Hosted by Azura Goh, Nity Baizura and the latest additions in RIA 897: Ezam Ernady (Winner of Suara Juara - The Star Voice 2023) and Raihan Yacob (First Runner-Up of Suara Juara - The Star Voice 2023).
No tickets will be issued. Seats are available on a first-come, first-served basis
ALYPH
ALYPH'S ascension began in the most important place: Singapore, home. Born from a musical and artistic family, ALYPH polished his skills as a rapper and producer to establish his individual style, paving the way for him to become a successful solo artist. ALYPH is one of Singapore’s biggest hitmakers with chart-topping hits such as SWIPE performing well in Malaysia and Indonesia. ALYPH's significant hits, Mimpi and Pun Boleh, have both charted in the top ten on Apple Music, and his complete discography has received over 22 million Spotify streams to date.
Fariz Jabba
Fariz Jabba is a 24-year-old Malay-English rapper hailing from Singapore who proves a quadruple threat as a rapper, singer, dancer, and actor. Fariz Jabba started his career by posting home videos of freestyle raps and remixes that went viral on social media, trending the Fariz Jabba name in Singapore and Malaysia within months of his first upload. The only attention gained Fariz Jabba a signing with the Singaporean hip hop label that also gave rise to Yung Raja, MADEYOUFAMOUS, and a spot-on rap veteran Joe Flizzow’s online YouTube series, 16 Baris—a performance that would bring him into the spotlight garnering almost 500,000 views within less than three months.
