The Song "Tamin Sah Pade" which I sing in Burmese language, was released on the comiplation album on Warners, "Sound of the World 2007", the annual roundup of the best music from around the globe, by the influential BBC dj Charlie Gillett. The album also features names such as Devendra Banhart, Juana Moilna and Gotan Project, so as an unsigned artist who Charlie discovered through Myspace, I was honoured to have been included! I perform a live set accompanied by visuals from animator Zennor Alexander WANTED... Management, promo, pr....if you like what you hear, please get in touch! thanks
