It was 1.30pm when the 23-year-old, whose real name is Shareefa Aminah, saw her phone blowing up with messages from her friends and social media pages. I got a bit worried for a moment because sometimes, social media is not the nicest space and I wasn’t sure what to expect but I was very happy to see that it was all positive stuff about the video,” said the singer. The video in question, posted by Canadian pop duo Crash Adams, featured Shazza singing a freestyle verse for their latest single Good Side. Since its release on Feb 6, it has garnered over 17 million views on TikTok and another 6.8 million on YouTube at the time of writing. Thanks to the viral video, Shazza's Instagram followers shot up from about 2,000 to over 90,000 in just one week. As for how the collaboration came about, she said: “It was a right place, right time kind of thing that really worked out in my favour.” Crash Adams came to Singapore to perform at Mediacorp’s Let’s Celebrate 2024 at The Promontory at Marina Bay on Dec 31 last year. While Shazza sang at the same event, she didn’t get to talk to them as it was too hectic backstage. Having seen some of their previous videos, she thought it would be a fun opportunity. So, she took it and sang Good Side live at Marina Bay Sands. |
