KRU is a popular Malaysian singing group that formed in the 1990s. The group comprises three brothers: Norman Abdul Halim, Yusry Abdul Halim and Edry Abdul Halim. The group mixes R&B and rap styles in their music.
Early history
The brothers; interest for creating music sparked when they were very young, when one of their aunts bought Norman a keyboard which also attracted his brothers. They spent their teens in London, where they were exposed to various genres of music, in stark contrast to the Malay music scene at that time which was dominated by classic rock and ballads.The brothers were supporters of the Selangor football team and also decided to write a rap tune for their favourite team. Back then they were known as Selangor Rappers' Unit, writing Viva Selangor.
They continued on writing original songs, while little did they know one of Norman's college mates sent a demo to EMI. The manager liked the song and called the brothers to audition. Thus, KRU was formed in May 19, 1992.
The brothers are now venturing into a business that is nevertheless still related to their musical roots. They began KRU Records, a music publishing company releasing their own recordings as well as those of other artists.
