Juwita Suwito’s journey in the professional music scene began in her late teens as backing vocalist for leading Malaysian artistes at gigs, mega concerts and prominent award shows. She soon developed her versatility and was often called to record song demos for East Asian publishing houses. In unexpected turns of events, some of these demos were regionally released and caught the attention of many curious listeners. One example is her moving rendition of “Breathe Again” published by Warner Music Taiwan in the original soundtrack for Mandarin TV drama series “The Outsiders”. To no surprise, Juwita’s solo debut album, “Brand New World”, was awarded “Best Local English Album” at the prestigious AIM Awards in 2005. While her other album ‘For Real’ was nominated as well in 2007. Also recently announced, Juwita’s Live EP “Take Five with Juwita Suwito at Avanti” has been nominated for “Best Local English Album”.
