#SHOWBIZ: Marsha: Times Square appearance an honour to East Malaysians
KUALA LUMPUR: Singer-actress Marsha Milan Londoh was described her recent appearance on the iconic Times Square billboard in New York, the United States as a dream come true.
She said in an Instagram post yesterday that appearing on the Spotify billboard in Times Square reminded her of the challenges she faced when she first entered showbiz.
"Seeing myself on a billboard in Times Square, New York is something that has exceeded all my dreams.
"As a female singer from East Malaysia or Malaysian Borneo, this journey is not easy, but moments like this remind me why I started.
"Thank you #SpotifyEQUAL for allowing me to be a part of this campaign and thank you to Spotify Asia for raising our voice to the global stage," she said.
Marsha, 40, dedicated her appearance on the billboard to all East Malaysians who strived hard to excel in their careers, especially those in entertainment.
"To all women in music, your voice means a lot and we need to hear more," said Marsha who hails from Tamparuli in Sabah.
Spotify EQUAL is an initiative that recognises female artistes from around the world and empowers their voices in the music industry.
Many of Marsha's fellow artistes congratulated her on her achievement.
"Very happy to see your dream come true," said actress, director and producer Puan Sri Tiara Jacquelina.
Besides Marsha, other Malaysian singers who have been featured on the billboard include Datuk Seri Siti Nurhaliza, Ernie Zakri, Yuna, Dolla, Aina Abdul, Kaka Azraff, Layla Sania, Iman Troye, Aisha Retno and Vanessa Reynauld.
