From viral hits to major brand collaborations, Malik Choo has been a familiar name in Malaysia's pop culture scene. But this August, he has stepped into a different spotlight with the release of his debut solo single, Suka Kamu.

The hook, 'Ku suka kamu seperti kamu', is as simple as it is resonant, wrapping up the song's message of unfiltered affection.
The music video, directed by Fareez Nasir, turns that sentiment into a warm, visual narrative.
Malik plays a shy delivery rider who crosses paths with a confident, outspoken young woman, portrayed by Wan Nasuha.
What follows is the tender awkwardness of two worlds meeting.
While this is his first solo release, Malik is far from an industry newcomer. A multilingual performer fluent in Cantonese, Bahasa Melayu, and English.
He has fronted campaigns for Marrybrown and Shopee and lent his voice to viral tracks like Kita Jaga Kita with Altimet and Cuurley in which surpassed 10 million YouTube views along with Lelaki Di Telefon with Afieq Shazwan, which amassed over 1.7 million Spotify streams and 11 million YouTube views.
His journey has been guided in part by Malaysian hip-hop veteran Altimet, who first discovered him and brought him into the group Chop on Astro's The Last TRIO Standing.
In a full-circle moment, Altimet also contributed to the songwriting for Suka Kamu. He signed under SVLTAN Management and is already planning his next steps toward both local and international stages. Photo: SVLTAN Management
The single holds another is Malik's first under the DKK Industri Muzik Dana Kebolehan Pasaran (Domestik 2.0) grant, an initiative by MyCreative Ventures and the Ministry of Communications (KKMM).
