KUALA LUMPUR: For the second time, the face of singer-songwriter Ernie Zakri has been displayed on the iconic billboard of Times Square, New York.
This prestigious recognition comes from Spotify's EQUAL, a global initiative that celebrates talented female artistes from around the world.
In an Instagram post yesterday, Ernie said that she was honoured to serve as an ambassador for Malaysian music on the international stage once again.
"Alhamdulillah for the second time. Still dreaming," she wrote on Instagram.
Ernie had earlier appeared on the billboard in May last year.
In addition to being featured in Times Square, her popular song Masing-Masing, a collaboration with Ade Govinda from Indonesia, has topped various charts on the Indonesian Spotify platform, including the Top Songs and Viral 50 lists.
Ernie is one of the Malaysian artistes with the highest number of monthly listeners on Spotify, at 3.1 million.
