Sharliza Jelita is a Singaporean singer, songwriter and music producer with a versatile body of work covering jazz, pop, indie and electronica. Performing in both Malay and English, she has a deep passion for combining Eastern and Western musical influences to increase Nusantara representation on the international stage. Her artist name, a combination of her first name and her childhood nickname she grew up with, reflects the importance of staying true to her roots.
Her life is one furnished with events that have served as a rich pallet of inspiration for her songwriting on her 2012 debut album Strange Things and other experiments such as the Vintage Sessions and Koleksi Hari Raya 1. Since then, she embarked on a journey towards spiritual electronica – through the Intention EP, her first fully self-produced EP featuring ‘Lead By Example‘ and title track ‘Intention‘ in 2017, followed by two singles, ‘Emergence‘ and ‘Gratitude‘ in 2020, and ‘Breathing Space‘ in 2021. Her latest release, Bertemu Di Hari Raya, was inspired by families reuniting for Eid post-pandemic. She has 20 years’ experience as a singer, songwriter and MC. Find out more…
