Fariz Jabba, Nash.D and Prav Debut Road to FAM Series in Singapore
Following a high-octane sold-out show in Manila,88rising'sFuture Asian Music(FAM) andLevi's®kept the vibes high as the show continued in Singapore. The series is both a celebration of local emerging talent as well as the anniversary of the 501® jeans, a wardrobe staple that has been embedded in pop culture since 1873. Keeping the party alive, the tour traveled to Singapore's Hard Rock Cafe on May Jabba, a musical storyteller who marries hip-hop and urban Southeast Asian sounds, hit the stage with his longtime dancers to perform his viral tracks, like 'Ape Sia.' Jabba was accompanied by DJs Nash.D andPrav, who prepared the crowd for an unforgettable night of live music. The two mixed throwbacks with 2010s hits before Jabba took to the stage in a customized Levi's® ensemble created byYouths in Balaclava, a local Singaporean brand. 'The outfit draws from the concept of destruction and rebirth — where scars aren't hidden but celebrated. We used denim repair techniques and signature silver hardware to embody that narrative,' says brand co-founder, Kash, 'We've come to understand [Jabba's] style and energy deeply. Watching him perform in custom YIB x Levi's® was both a relief and a reward. Every stitch carried intention, and seeing it come alive on stage made it all worthwhile.' The look displayed a trench coat with bespoke denim patchwork — a one-of-one outfit for a one-of-a-kind performance. The musician opened up the night with his tracks 'X Games,' 'Serak' and 'Kalah,' before dedicating an intimate ballad to his fiancée, titled 'Stargirl.' For this set, he revealed a mix of his discography, traveling back to the past sonically, while also proving that the future is bright for other Singaporean rising artists. Alongside the music, an exclusive Levi's® Tailor Shop was created for the event, so guests could purchase their own merch and personalize it with customized patches by local studioTell Your Children. The Road to FAM will continue next in Jakarta and Kuala Lumpur, and it will be documented through a mini docu-series that follows each artists progress and aims to amplify their audiences on a global level.
