Supa Mojo
Hailing from small town Alor Setar, Kedah in the northern region of Malaysia, after graduating high school, Supa Mojo left to further her studies in Suzhou, China and later spent a few years working-holiday in the UK, before returning to Malaysia in 2010.
Along her growing years, the journey was paved on self-exploration in Hip Hop elements of breaking, graffiti and rapping. Throughout the past decade, she has been featured on various projects with local and international artists, collaborating on song- writing and performing at live shows, as well as participating in art projects and exhibition.
《家想梦》Home Will Dream EP –
“Home Will Dream” EP is Mojo’s first solo debut in collaboration with Korean producer, Dae Kim. In contrast to their earlier release of “Tao” which was infused with Hiphop sounds, the new EP brings a fresh pairing of rhythmic ambient and sweet whispery lines. Through music styles that have evolved from hard- hitting beats to electro-acoustic vibes, Dae Kim holds a unique gift in transforming personal stories into descriptive pieces that soothes the soul. In this three-song EP, Mojo induces a different tone of speech, sharing honest musings in chapters of her life where she revisits home as the core of life pursuits, dealing with the grief of losing her brother, and moving forward in the process of healing.
ARTIST’S STATEMENT
I was born in Alor Setar, Kedah. There are six members in my family, dad, mom, big bro, younger bro, baby sis, and me. Growing up in the same space, between parents, siblings, there would be times with so much fun and laughter, and times when arguments would turned the house upside down. There could be reconciliation within minutes, or there could be long periods of cold war with no talking.
In the end, blood is thicker than water, the yearning for love in our hearts can’t be forsaken. I lived abroad for some years after graduating from high school, and often refer to my original intention of returning home ten years ago, how would things be now if different choices were made?
As we travel the world, there is a piece of happiness where time stops, home is where our heart is.
LYRICS & TRANSLATIONS
Verse:
I’m heading home
Bidding farewell to the travels alone
Weighing emotions like a bag of stones
Keeps me grounded through changing time zones
It’s a sunny day in Kuala Lumpur
The heat woke me up from dreamy slumber
It’s familiar, listening to strangers chatter
Here I am, I would love to see you my dear
Exploring the city’s rhythm
Navigating steps with tempo in motion
Spending some time to find direction
Putting myself out there in action
On a journey that takes commitment
Those risky adventures I had chosen
How many turns have I taken
For now, let the unknown be forgotten.
Chorus:
On the way home, window views of the paddy fields
Sunset in the village tops the best view
Pink, orange, yellow, purple, blue hues
When was the last time I had these perfect feels
Flowers in the garden coming to life
Swaying softly as the winds hypnotise
Bird on the tree singing my lines
It’s telling me this is paradise
Verse:
Lying on the couch daydreaming
Watching the ceiling fan spinning
Bringing me back to school routines
The sense of security is fleeting
A pillow full of childhood dreams
Don’t disappoint your parents’ wish
All the years we missed went by in a blink
Growing like cracks on the wall seams
Reliving all kinds of emotions in between
Finding solitude in happiness, anger, and sadness
Music always helps to fill up the emptiness
It’s in my nature to be stubborn with persistence
I refuse to fit in the frame given
Everyone got their own pace in life each is different
Challenging limits also changes perceptions
Happiness, is actually a simple vibration
Chorus: (x2)
On the way home, window views of the paddy fields
Sunset in the village tops the best view
Pink, orange, yellow, purple, blue hues
When was the last time I had these perfect feels
Flowers in the garden coming to life
Swaying softly as the winds hypnotise
Bird on the tree singing my lines
It’s telling me this is paradise

About Life Line Association Malaysia
Life Line Association is a non-religious NGO working to assist individuals affected by social and psychological issues through emotional support and community-based preventive programs for more than 28 years.
“95 Spirit” is the core of Life Line Association’s service.
“95” is derived from the phrase “help me” in Mandarin, promoting the awareness of “self- help” and “seeking help” – increasing one’s internal strength to face life challenges (self- help), and encouraging help-seeking behavior when the challenges are beyond one’s coping abilities (seeking help). We believe that with genuineness, acceptance and empathy, every life is able to grow to its full potential. Through the helping process, both helpers and help seekers are being benefitted.
