Listening to this guitar arrangement of a song I composed and wrote called "Alone Again" by Josh Hana evoked a lot of old memories in my mind.

I used to perform this song pretty often at my shows when I started performing. Back then, I just embarked into my singer-songwriter career as I initially only wanted to be a songwriter for other artists. "Alone Again" was one of the songs that I composed for other artists.

When I started my singer-songwriter career, I was still confused as to which songs truly represented me as an artist and which ones should be for other artists. It's tricky when I composed and wrote them all myself, and they all sound so different from each other jumping between pop and world music.

How do I know which one represented me and which one did not? Other than "Katakanlah", I was at lost. It took me many years of soul searching to figure it out. Later I figured it out, it was the fusion of cinematic pop with an East meets West twist that truly represented me as an artist. And this is the music that you hear from me today with “You Are My Land”, “Tell Me” (the English version of “Katakanlah”) and many more coming soon.

Back to this guitar arrangement of my song "Alone Again", I felt super touched listening to it. Thank you for the great arrangement and playing Josh Hana. I really enjoyed it and appreciate your arrangement.

On another note, believe it or not, this update pop track song is still available for other artists and I am eager to have it released. If you know of any artist who may be interested in this song, or you are an artist/ artist manager who is interested, email at management@amirahgroup.com for the full demo. Looking forward to connect with you.

I always remember what my cello teacher said, that music has the power to alter people's emotions and that we must remember that as musicians, we are responsible for that power. Do we want to create music that would promote harm, drugs, and conflict? Or do we want to create music that would help people feel connected and heal?

Music is very powerful because it has the ability to transcend boundaries, especially in an emotional way that people may not be able to do logically.

There is at least one situation where you can find people with opposing beliefs unite and come together in celebration - a music concert. During a concert, people forget their cultural and political identities, unite in the magic and spirit of the music, and walk out as brothers and sisters. Even if it’s only for a night.

I hope to pose questions in people’s minds through my music and help them realize that we are all the same and that we all want the same things.

I write songs when I feel lonely or misunderstood.

Where I can be myself.

Where honest questions by my curious mind is not deflected and dealt head on.

Where thinking and feeling is cherished and not shushed, even when it gets uncomfortable or odd.

Sometimes I feel that only music understand me.
