The Life & the City podcast returns for a new season today, and it kicks off with a bang!
In this episode, hosts Aida Ahmad and Farid Wahab welcome singer-songwriter and researcher Azmyl Yunor for a deep dive into the experience of ageing within Malaysia’s indie rock and underground music scene.
Azmyl, a senior lecturer at Sunway University’s Department of Film and Performing Arts, offers insights on navigating ageism in the music industry.
He also shares his views on the importance of staying true to his artistic identity through his music.
The conversation explores the surprising resurgence of physical music formats like cassettes and vinyl records, even in the age of streaming dominance.
And to top it all off, the episode concludes with a special performance by Azmyl himself!
