For the past decade, Mad Decent has been invading your ears with fresh sounds. With humble beginnings in Diplo’s Philadelphia studio, Mad Decent’s unwavering mission is to highlight underground, genre-blurring sounds. Mad Decent tops iTunes, Beatport and Shazam charts worldwide with #1 Dance tracks and albums with releases from artists like Major Lazer, Dillon Francis, Grandtheft, Party Favor, NGHTMRE and Yellow Claw. Mad Decent is also home to Good Enuff, a launchpad for artists breaking the norm; notable releases include Bauuer’s “Harlem Shake” and DJ Snake’s “Bird Machine.” As an extension of the Mad Decent sound, Mad Decent Block Party was established in 2006 and now spans across North America and India.

I am a Sound Designer, Producer and Music Composer currently based in Perth, Western Australia. Originally from Malaysia, I developed an interest in music from a young age and it inspired me to pick up the guitar, eventually becoming a guitar instructor by my late teens.

Relocating to Perth in 2002, I also began to start composing my own songs, performing with bands live and recording music. In the last few years of high school I picked up art, media and drama studies, where the application of these skills in film and drama broadened my tastes in the audio field.

Between the years of 2004 - 2006, I studied and graduated from the Western Australian Academy Of Performing Arts in the field of Sound. My experience there includes numerous live design & live mixing of WAAPA Jazz Graduates as well as sound design, engineering and operation for WAAPA Musical Theatre & Acting and the WA Screen Academy. My time there also provided invaluable work experience opportunities at Sound Mine Studios, ABC News and Double G Post Production in Perth; and Limestone Studio, Electric Avenue Studios and Turtlerock Mastering in Sydney.

I gained a decade’s worth of experience as part of the team at University Of Western Australia’s University Theatres, where I designed and operated numerous plays & performances, including a tenure as the Head Of Sound at the University Of Western Australia’s School Of Music. During this time, I freelanced in music recording, sound design, post-production & composition for film and games at my personal studio, Spicy Horse Games, Amusia Studios and Anthophobic Records.

Boasting a wide range of recording experience; genre & instrument wise, I have worked on various styles ranging from classical to metal, jazz to electronic. I am proficient in various forms of digital sound technology - this includes digital audio workstations, software instruments and audio plugins; as well as playing guitar, bass and drums.

Ivor Novello Award-winner and Mercury, Grammy, and BRIT-nominated artist Lianne La Havas unveils her new single ‘Disarray.’ The track showcases a blend of emotional depth and striking vocal delivery, set against sparse, ethereal finger-plucked electric guitar —a signature of La Havas’ style. 

“The song felt very intimate, almost like a secret just for me,” says La Havas. “It’s about vulnerability, honesty, and giving listeners a window into a moment of my life.”

Over the course of her career, La Havas has released three acclaimed albums — Is Your Love Big Enough? , Blood and her self-titled Lianne La Havas  (which won the Ivor Novello Award for Best Album). She has collaborated with leading international artists and captivated audiences worldwide with her spellbinding live performances.

Released via her own Καλό μήνα (Kalo Mina) Records. La Havas embarks on an exciting new chapter, broadening her sonic horizons while remaining rooted in vulnerability and artistry.
