Yise Loo, 罗忆诗 (Luo Yi Shi)

a quality local product! a Johor gal, now a talented singer & songwriter.
Recently saw her acting in 8TV's Good Night DJ. she caught my attention as i think she has a special charisma. few days ago saw her MV 'So Easy'. i've heard of this song long time ago but didn't know who she was. then i saw her again last night on Shout Out show.
so i surfed the net to check out her background & listen to some of her songs. hhhmmm .... she has a good voice. i especially like her song called 'So Easy'. very fun & cute rhythm.here you go ....

killed by the 1st note on my new score. we played The Phantom of the Opera medley. 4 pages ... longest sheet i ever played so far. highest note was higher C! thtz torturing!
