Renowned artist, Fauziah Ahmad Daud expressed her bewilderment when her name was linked to claims by vocal coach, Adzrin Adzhar, who alleged being berated by a veteran artist, resulting in his removal from a television program.
According to Fauziah, affectionately known as Ogy, 63, she has no direct connection to the issue, let alone wants to comment on a matter that does not explicitly mention her name.
“Who am I to push someone out? Did that individual mention my name? If not, I don’t need to respond.
But if they did, my lawyer will handle it.
As long as my name isn’t mentioned, they’re in the clear. It’s that simple,” she said when met at the Asian Pop Stars press conference at ASWARA.
Ogy added that she is unaware of or has not followed the issue that has been widely discussed by netizens.
“I don’t even know where this issue came up, let alone read about it.
If they’re talking about a veteran artist with 50 years in the industry, there are many others besides me,” she said.
Commenting on her relationship with Adzrin, Ogy acknowledged that they have never worked together professionally, except for meeting once during a press conference for Ezad Lazim’s concert.
“I’ve never worked with him. We only met once at a press conference.
Maybe because I’m the most popular, netizens love to pick on my name,” she said jokingly.
Previously, Adzrin Adzhar, 40, shared a bitter experience, claiming he was ‘chased out’ by a senior artist from a production and had his credibility as a vocal coach questioned.
Despite feeling humiliated, Adzrin chose to remain positive and open to collaborating again in the future if given the opportunity.
In other developments, Ogy is set to take on the role of principal for the Asian Pop Stars program, which will be broadcast live on RTM starting November 29.
The competition, which brings together participants from across Asia, will offer eight selected finalists the chance to undergo intensive training at an entertainment academy in South Korea. – BOOM!
