BARE IT ALL

Since finding each other in a friendly sing-off, Fuying and Sam of FS have been taking things at their own pace, and now, their future seems wide open with possibilities.

The adage along the lines of: competition brings like-minded people together to turn hindrance into an opportunity – is particularly relevant in the case of FS. The pop duo, you see, have known each other since their vocal training days at Halo Music (M) Sdn. Bhd. where Fuying was from the first and Sam the second batch of trainees. Upon signing record deals with the record label, it wanted a new artist to sing the promotional theme song of the then newly released local production Kepong Gangster. “The right chemistry” sparked, so to speak, during the battle round between the two which convinced the company that while they were good independently, they were even better together.

“What we mean by having the right chemistry is basically the combinations of the voices of FS that produce are new sounds that the company loved and widely accepted by the market,” Fuying explains, with Sam nodding in agreement next to him.

Officially formed in 2013, FS has been collecting a string of prestigious awards and accolades year after year. “It still feels surreal every single time we go up on stage to receive an award. It is a recognition to us as a team and it keeps us going; to become better artists,” says Fuying. So, what is it that’s giving them the edge? Teamwork is an indispensable factor for them. “It takes a lot of communication and understanding amongst not just the two of us, but also the whole team that is involved in FS,” he says.
