Singapore Idol Taufik Batisah performed at the inaugural ABU (Asia-Pacific Broadcasting Union) Song Festival in South Korea earlier this month. The two-hour event which will be broadcasted in the different participating countries, aims to bring together and showcase international musical talents, transcending language and cultural background.

Currently busy with album preparations, the local singer shared that he listens to a wide genre of music, from popular rock to indie. But when it comes to his own composition, Taufik is sticking to pop music.

In July this year, Taufik released an English single Sky’s The Limit featuring fellow local artiste Rui En, which took the number one spot on 98.7FM Top 20 Countdown Chart for two consecutive weeks. It was a rare feat for a local song as the Chart is commonly dominated by international acts.

Taufik, 30, was in Seoul mid-October for the ABU TV Song Festival, a concert to go with Korea’s ABU Radio Song Festival, Asia’s version of the Eurovision Song Contest.

Upcoming

No word yet on whether there’ll be any cross-cultural collaboration for Taufik’s upcoming English album, which he’s currently working on.

His most recent single Sky’s The Limit, which also features the vocals of his fellow Hype Records artiste Rui En, stayed at the top of the charts on 987FM for two weeks.

He’s playing his first baddie role, but will you hate him for it?

Tonelli, 36, told The New Paper: “The Channel 8 audience are very invested in the characters that they watch on TV, they really believe these shows.

“When my character was good, I received lots of compliments. But when his insecurities caused him to be less amiable (he wasn’t even a bad person), I started hearing that my Mandarin sucked on the show.

The good guys that he has played on-screen include Jeanette Aw’s character’s suitor in Channel 8 blockbuster drama The Little Nyonya (2008) and Rui En’s character’s suitor in Channel 8 drama Joys Of Life (2012).
