Owned and run by the members of Pop Shuvit – touted as Asia’s leading hip-hop/rock band – Kuala Lumpur’s Studio 21:05 began life as a ‘tiny home studio’, but has grown into a high-end multi-room facility. Although impacted by the coronavirus pandemic, the studio is among the first to return to operation.
‘I’ve been closed to the public – albeit working remotely – for nearly a month and half since the Malaysian government imposed the Movement Control Order (MCO) ,’ says studio founder JD Wong. ‘Now, amid all the uncertainty facing the music industry, I will be taking the necessary steps to re-open the studio soon.
‘We will have to make adjustments to the way we work. And those of us with family members who are sick must be ever more cautious and vigilant.
‘We are ready to move forward,’ he continues. ‘As a company, Studio 21:05 is prepared to do so. We are also running special offers to help independent artists that have been affected by Covid-19. I would like to thank all of you for the wonderful support and amazing opportunities to create music throughout the nearly 15 years since Studio 21:05 was founded,’ he adds.
