Khylune is a rare breed in today's music scene- a musician's musician, flawlessly compiling a track list of songs that showcase how eclectic his musical style is as a singer/songwriter. 

His debut album "Love Found Me" underlines just how influential his time spent in the UK and US was to him, developing into his own brand of musical maturity.

Born in the cultural hub of Malaysia, Khylune had his first encounter with music at an early age when he sang gospels in his local churches. He spent the first six years of his singing career traveling extensively across South East Asia performing live shows. It was during this all-embracing tour that he learnt first hand how to grow as a musician, constantly fine tuning his songs and performances to provide a show that his ever-growing audience would ultimately embrace and appreciate. 

However, it wasn't until he took a well deserved break from touring that he learnt the value of musical craftsmanship and the importance of exploring the myriads of genres he would eventually intorduce into his recitals. Khylune made use of his extended break, taking the opportunity to study performing arts in the UK which led him to experiment with song writing. Writing his own songs and compositions proved to be Khylune's forte.

Khylune has a rather introspective view of the music industry; intrigued and fascinated by its ever quickening pace, yet cognizant of the industry’s complex structure. The constantly evolving trends and newer and bolder genres of music that shift in popularity can often be intimidating to the listener and newcomers in the music world. It is not difficult to be diluted by the current hype or ‘the sound’ of the moment. However, Khylune takes pride in keeping true to his original stance. He lives by the idea that classic music is rudimentary to his compositions. It provides a powerful and valid songwriting foundation and is never unfashionable. The great classics that survived the onslaught of time are testament to that hypothesis. Khylune takes a page out of his greatest idols; Louis Armstrong, Nat King Cole and Nina Simone, whose songs are still played in circulation today. Their performances are considered legendary due to the fact that their sound will always be heralded as timeless and admired by all musicians. 

Khylune's late foster father, Arthur Mogull, a successful music producer in Los Angeles and one time co-owner of United Artists Records, was the main inspiration for Khylune's school of thought. He instilled an unwavering belief that Khylune has put into practice; to be fearless and willing to take risks. With that in mind, Khylune co wrote the "Love Found Me" album in 2011 with some of the most talented writers across the USA. He wrote and composed the album hoping that others find his work personal, yet entertaining all the same.

In the summer of 2013 Khylune will be releasing his first album of covers called “UNCOVERED”. The song choices in it are archetypal of his predilection for diversity. Not too long after that, he will also be premiering his new official single called “SHUT UP AND DANCE” The hit single MADE IN CHINA was released on September 22nd 2013 to worldwide airplay by Musik Radio Promotions and picked up by the BBC network for airplay in minutes.

In keeping up with the ever evolving trend and current mania of music shows in and around South East Asia, Khylune has taken the decision to spend a greater portion of his time around the region over the next few years and to work on his first Mandarin album.
