Craig David to perform in KL in November
KUALA LUMPUR : After more than a decade away from Malaysia, UK singer and DJ Craig David is set to delight local fans with the exclusive concert 'Craig David Presents TS5: Live in Kuala Lumpur' on Nov 10.
The event, which will be held at Mega Star Arena here, will feature David's signature 'TS5″ concept – a combination of live vocals and DJ sets that has made him a global phenomenon since he introduced it in 2012.
'TS5, which began as a radio show from his apartment in Miami, has since toured prestigious stages around the world such as Ibiza, Dubai, London, and Tokyo. Now, for the first time, it will meet fans in Malaysia,' organiser T-Rex Studio said.
'Fans can expect a high-energy and dynamic night, featuring Craig's hit songs spanning more than two decades, including 'Fill Me In', '7 Days', 'Walking Away', 'What's Your Flava' and 'When the Bassline Drops'.'
David's visit also coincides with his ninth studio album, 'Commitment', which was released on Aug 8.
He first gained worldwide attention through his collaboration with Artful Dodger on 'Re-Rewind', before skyrocketing to fame with his debut solo single 'Fill Me In', making him the youngest male solo artiste ever to top the UK charts.
David's debut album 'Born To Do It' (2000) sold over seven million units worldwide, and was recognised by MTV and The Guardian as one of the greatest albums of all time.
In 2021, he was also awarded with an MBE by Queen Elizabeth II for his contributions to music and charity.
Tickets, priced from RM288 to RM1,888, can be purchased here.

In one of the videos, she wrote: 'LSS Zuhaimi signing off after 40 years! Congratulations on your retirement, Mom!

Turns out ‘Baby Shark' didn't bite anyone's tune — South Korea's top court rules it's not a rip-off
SEOUL, Aug 14 — South Korea's top court ruled Thursday that the globally popular South Korean children's song Baby Shark was not plagiarised, rejecting a copyright claim filed by a US-based composer. With its catchy lyrics, the Baby Shark Dance video is the most viewed on YouTube, with more than 16 billion views, roughly double those of the runner-up, Despacito, and third-place Wheels on the Bus. In 2019, New York composer Johnny Only, whose legal name is Jonathan Wright, filed a lawsuit in Seoul, alleging that the 2015 hit Baby Shark by South Korean education startup SmartStudy copied a song he had released in 2011. Only demanded 30 million won (RM90,980) in compensation, accusing the firm of copying elements of his work, including its bassline and rhythm. SmartStudy, now known as The Pinkfong Company, argued that its version was an adaptation of a classic North American children's tune that is not protected by copyright. A South Korean lower court initially cleared the company of the charges at a trial in 2021, finding that there was insufficient evidence of copyright infringement. That ruling was upheld by an appeal court in 2023. Only then challenged the 2023 decision, but South Korea's Supreme Court affirmed the lower court rulings on Thursday. 'All appeals were dismissed and the lower court's rulings were upheld,' according to court documents seen by AFP. The Pinkfong Company said in a statement Thursday that the Supreme Court's decision confirmed Baby Shark was 'based on a traditional singalong chant that has entered the public domain'. The company said it had given 'a fresh twist to the chant by adding an upbeat rhythm and catchy melody, turning it into the pop culture icon it is today'. Only did not immediately reply to an AFP request for comment. He told Canadian public broadcaster CBC in 2019 that he had created a toddler-friendly version of Baby Shark in 2011, revising the original song, which was about a gory shark attack. 'I was the first one that did that (rewriting the song), you know? And basically Pinkfong's version does the same thing,' he said in the interview. — AFP

Craig David returns to Malaysia this November, his only Asian stop of TS5 tour
KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 14 — UK R&B superstar Craig David will return to Malaysia this November for the first time in over a decade – and he's bringing his acclaimed TS5 live experience to Kuala Lumpur. The Craig David Presents TS5: Live in Kuala Lumpur show will take place on November 10 at Mega Star Arena, Sungei Wang Plaza. Organised by T-Rex Studio, it will be David's only Asian stop on his current world tour. His last performance in Malaysia was in 2014. The TS5 concept began in 2012 when David hosted pre-party sessions at his Miami penthouse, Tower Suite 5. Blending UK garage classics, R&B, bashment, old-school anthems and contemporary house, the DJ–vocal hybrid set has since attracted a global following, with over 1.5 million listeners tuning in worldwide. David has taken the TS5 show to stages in London, Glastonbury, New York and Ibiza, performing as singer, MC and DJ – all at once. This year also marks a milestone for the 43-year-old star, who released his latest album Commitment on August 8, coinciding with the 25th anniversary of his debut Born to Do It – the record that spawned hits like 7 Days, Fill Me In and Walking Away. His previous album, The Time Is Now (2018), featured collaborations with Bastille (I Know You) and included tracks such as Heartline. Tickets for the Kuala Lumpur show are priced between RM288 and RM1,888. More information is available at
