From halfway across the globe here comes a Malaysian pop-rock band with an insatiable avidity to rise to prominence in the American music scene. Despite having achieved multiple record and radio successes in Malaysia and its neighboring regions, the band has always aspired to bring their music elsewhere. “It has always been our dream to make it big in the U.S. where music is deeply integrated into its culture. You know you made it in music when you make it in America,” says Gerald Sellan, drummer of Beat The System.
