Meor Yusof Aziddin Explained

Meor Yusof Aziddin Meor Hassan (1967 – 24 December 2021), popularly known as Meor, was a Malaysian folk singer-songwriter in the Malay language.

Life and career

He was born in Beruas, Perak in 1967. He performed from 1984 and had a major label recording release with Pesta Jiwa (2000), before deciding to take the independent route. He continued his craft as a busker in Kuala Lumpur, notably in Central Market. He was the most prolific local independent singer-songwriter with seven albums, and in a 2008 interview following his album Sakrat (songs based on poems by rising Malaysian poet Amirul Fakir), he stated that he planned to release one album a year. He relocated with his family to Ipoh, Perak, in 2006, where he also recorded, but often made trips back to Kuala Lumpur to perform. His critically acclaimed album Malay: Itu Padang...Aku Disitu (2003) is considered a classic in the non-mainstream music scene.

Meor died from COVID-19 on 24 December 2021, at age 54.[1]
