Taylor's University has something new to be proud about – Broadcasting major and singer-songwriter Nabilah Musa, who has been referred to as a Yuna protégé by TimeOut KL.
Going by the nickname Bil, she launched her first EP at The Bee, Publika on 5 April. The artiste is signed under Yuna Room Records label, doing what she really loves – music.
She released six tracks including “The Beach”, a song that is often played on local radio. She recorded that song in English and French. During the launch, she also sang “Can’t Have You”, an unreleased tune from her EP.
She describes herself as an introvert at most times. Despite being shy and preferring to do things on her own, she cannot really sit still and tries to keep herself occupied. She enjoys facing new challenges to keep her agenda fun and interesting.
With all the kinds of responsibilities she has taken on, she definitely faces a common issue that many students can relate to – balancing their life right.
Despite the different agendas she has to juggle, discipline is definitely one of the required skills. With that, Bil has some tips and ideas to share on how to live happier by learning to manage daily schedules efficiently.
The first skill she has mastered is journaling. Bil thinks it is vital to properly write down your daily nitty gritties just to check off important dates.
“Buy a journal. It helps you to be tightly aware of your deadlines and other things you need to complete at different dates and times. Remember to plan 10 steps ahead,” Bil says.
Second, Bil has a clean diet programme. Since there are not many eateries out there which cater to healthy meals, Bil takes the effort to bring food from home. That also saves time from having to queue up for food and having to wait for the meal to arrive.
Bil suggests, “Easy, quick and healthy food can be made from chicken breast, fish and nutritious snacks such as boiled eggs, nuts and fruits.”
Last but not least, to ensure a balanced life is to have good friends, Bil says. Having great classmates helps her to stay in the right mindset as her friends always keeps her updated with assignments and important notes she may have missed out on during classes.
Her experiences throughout this musical journey right up to the EP launch had more liberating experiences than difficulties, according to her.
“I loved going to the studio after classes and staying there late. The only bad moments were when I had to rush to complete my assignments.
“Other than that, meeting all different musicians and seeing them add a touch of themselves into my songs was a very good experience,” she says.
It certainly took a lot of courage from this young lady to get to this point in her life. At the moment, Bil is focusing on promoting her EP and is trying to do as many shows as possible. She will also be working on the various ideas for her upcoming singles.
We do not know what the future will hold for this young and talented artiste, but we will be sure to keep a lookout for her future endeavours.
