#Showbiz: Is Ara Johari the new 'Rock Princess'?

KUALA LUMPUR: Singer Ara Johari hopes to one day succeed Ella as Malaysia’s future female rock star.

However, the 22-year-old singer of Bunga and Paku said that although she looked up to the Rock Queen as a source of inspiration, she would not want to be a carbon copy of the legendary singer in terms of singing style and mannerism.

“In carving my own niche in the local entertainment scene, I’d love to be the next generation female rock singer. I look up to Ella who is a huge inspiration to me,” she said in an interview on Gempak TV, aired on Astro Ria and Ria HD last night.

In the show, Ara also shared with viewers about her latest single titled Racun Hati. She even performed an acoustic performance of the song, which was released in October last year.

The single is composed and written by duo Amy Bong and Ziin.
