As a young man in his early 20s, Datuk M. Nasir had a vision of what he wanted to achieve when he entered the entertainment industry: To inject a freshness into the Malay pop scene.

“It wasn’t crystal clear at that time, but I knew I wanted to create new music and new kind of performance style, ” Nasir said at a press conference before his Konsert M. Nasir Satu Hikayat – 40 Tahun Perjalanan, that took place in November.
