Led by Guitarist Sham Skyhigh, the 7 member group is one of the most versatile bands in Malaysia today. Watching them is like watching a concert every time. The vocalist of the band are Natasha Nasir (Sha), Renee Muska and Hafiez Harun, the trio are one of the most lethal combinations ever seen in a local Malaysian band.

They are backed solidly by Sham Skyhigh on Guitar, Saiful on Bass Guitar, Izzamir Faarhan on Keyboards and Saiful Hizam Othman on Drums. The Drummer - Saiful is one of the best there is, watching his drum solo's is a privilege & treat in itself!

Sham was the original Guitarist of the famous Malaysian band Wings led by Awie from 1985 to 1987. Sham Baharom has had a very colourful career and Skyhigh is synonymous with his name.

The band has a wide repertoire as they can perform R&B and Rock songs from yesteryear's to the latest top hits. The band has been around for quite a while now, while they have a had a couple of singers/band members come and go, band leader Sham has made sure that the quality of the band only keeps getting better. The band is very disciplined, the soft spoken Sham usually does not tolerate any nonsense and acts like a big brother to all his members.

ExpatGoMalaysia has said that Skyhigh is known to play with Passion, Energy and Soul!. A friend recently commented if Skyhigh was an all Caucasian band they would be one of the best bands in the world today. International chains like Planet Hollywood and Hard Rock Cafe have had them play at their outlets.

Hafiez is the natural ladies man with his long flowing locks and great voice. He has a great personality and does a great job engaging the audience. His humble demeanour makes him a favourite with both the guys and gals.

Lead Male Singer Hafiez

Natasha must be the sexiest creature on stage in KL, with a waistline and abs to die for, she captivates girls and guys alike the moment they set eyes on the way she moves on stage. She has even perfected her signature move or "gelek", that makes everyone go crazy. Her "Gelek' can be seen in the "Blurred lines" Video clip above. She has one of the best voices in Malaysia, so much so that she could easily win the Malaysian Idol or Voice or Malaysia's Got Talent, if there was a show like that here. A friend of mine said if he was a Chinese Emperor he would lock her up in a cage just to sing for him everyday!. Her sexy and powerful rendition of All My People by Sasha Lopez could even make the dead to move to the beat!  

Natasha the Sexy "gelek "Queen

Renee is one of the newest member of the band, she will shock you when she sings, as she does it so effortlessly. I kept wondering how she does it, as she barely strained a muscle to hit the high notes. She has a powerful voice and delivers her songs effortlessly hitting all the high notes with ease. Don't be fooled be her petite demeanour. She is one of the best singers I have come across in recent time.

They are playing at Hard Rock Cafe Kuala Lumpur until July 31, 2013 while from August 1, 2013 they will be playing at RP, Hyatt Saujana Hotel.
