YUNA Live at the Pagoda Winter Music Concert Series V.3

Description

Growing up, Malaysian-born singer/songwriter Yuna had eclectic pop tastes. In particular, she liked No Doubt, the Cranberries, Fiona Apple and Alanis Morissette. She is 26 now, and her music has evolved to capture elements of R&B and world beat, all without losing her core passion for '90s alt-rock and pop. But what has made Yuna an international sensation since she released her debut EP in 2008 is her voice. It's soft, dreamy and natural, which accompanies her romantic (and decidedly spiritual) songwriting perfectly.

Special guest DJ 'That Girl' from San Francisco will also perform.

Limited general tickets are $20, available at: ttp://yunaliveatthepagoda.eventbrite.com/

Doors open at 8pm, 18 years and older with I.D.

YUNA background information, according to http://www.liveatthepagoda.com:

At the age of 19, while in law school, she picked up a guitar and began to fervently write. She released her self-titled EP in Malaysia in 2008. The single “Deeper Conversation” became a massive success and went on to win the title of Best English Song at the 2009 AIM Awards, Malaysia’s national music awards. Yuna swept the ceremony, garnering Best Pop Song and Song of the Year for her Malay song, "Dan Sebenarnya".

Yuna joined FADER Label in summer 2010 and released her digital EP Decorate in March 2011, which had fans, critics from Billboard, KEXP, The New York Post, and even Russell Simmons himself, who raved, "an amazing new singer…her music is incredible", all instantly praising her talents.

Also in 2011, SPIN featured Yuna in their Buzzcatcher piece, "Eight Bands You Need to Hear Now" and she gave a stellar performance before a packed audience at MTV Iggy's "Best New Band in the World" concert in New York City. Yuna was a finalist in the "Best New Band in the World" competition and the show aired live on MTV's HD Screen in New York's legendary Times Square and was also streamed live worldwide on MTVIggy.com.

In January 2012, Yuna released "Live Your Life", the first single from her forthcoming full-length album. It started getting airplay immediately at Sirius-the Loft, KCRW and KROQ.
