Prema Yin has been singing since she was in primary school, entertaining crowds at weddings , private functions and having a go at age group singing competitions.
At present she is pursuing her studies but as music is her first love she is trying to juggle her time and focus between both.
She took part in the National level singing competition organized by NTV 7, Who Will Win Malaysian Topstar and emerged as the winner in 2005.
Wanting to gain more experience and to further improve herself, Prema Yin hit the pub scene, performing with such well known personalities as Jerry Felix, Simon Justin, Richard Gomez, Collin Jensen, Albert Sirimal, Ronny Felix, Vijay David and others. She also performed with Jaclyn Victor for a national level TV show and has also performed a number of times on TV. She even had the chance to perform with Colbie Caillat, known for her hit song, "Bubbly".
In 2006 she was invited to audition for the Aseana Percussion Unit and has been a member of this very popular group for the past 3 years. Performing in various local pub scenes: Bangkok Jazz, Groove Junction, Waikiki etc
Festivals such as Sunrise Jazz Fest, Sarawak Rainforest Festival as well as overseas(China for the Zhu Jia Jia Water Village Festival, Singapore Arts Festival).
Her major influences have been from blues rock, r&b, melancholic, soul and funk. She has been inspired by the work of great musicians notably Aerosmith, Stevie Wonder, Sarah Maclachlan, Chaka Khan, Erykah Badu, Shania Twain etc
She has great feel and her songs are charged with raw emotions.
Prema Yin is not only an accomplished singer but she is also one of the rare breed of singer/song writer and has been composing her own songs since she was 14.
Her songs are created from her past experiences, random thoughts, imagination and life itself.
And now, after 5 years of her venturing into the music scene, she has finally decided to record her own songs which she hopes to share with music lovers.
In January 2009, she had two nominations for the Voize Independent Music Awards(VIMA),one being the Best Female Vocalist (Overall),competing against some of Malaysia’s finest singers like Melissa Indot, Dina(Malaysian Idol), Liyana(Estrella) and Best Rock Vocalist, which she bagged the bronze medal, being the only female nominated amongst a category dominated by men.
