News Release: Universal Music Malaysia (Stella Wong) Compiled By: Dragon
KUALA LUMPUR - The song “#SUPERGIRLS” had become the anthem for female empowerment from teenage girls to working moms, with over 2 million views on YouTube within the first 3 months of release.
Sophia, Azira and Manggis, better known as De Fam, had recently won Best Breakthrough Artist and Song of The Year at the MET 10 Awards. Now for their second single "With You", they have collaborated with Brandon Beal of "Twerk It Like Miley", whose own single hit more than 97 million views. "With You" was released digitally on 8th January, 2016, with the official music video being released on 15th January 2016.
Azira said “Our second single With You is about all our fans, family and friends who had been with us since the very beginning”.
“It is also about how our friendship made us stronger”, added Manggis. "If we didn’t have each other through it all, it would have been very hard. We’re very blessed to have each other.”
When asked about why the girls had chosen to collaborate with Brandon Beal, Sophia had replied “When we first heard the song "Twerk It Like Miley” we became fans. Then our label, Tune Studios, mentioned our collaboration with Universal Music Malaysia in bringing in Brandon Beal for our second single and we were absolutely ecstatic.”
She further continued, “When we got the opportunity to record with him, we immediately jumped on that boat and it was an amazing experience. We learned so much from just watching an artist of his international stature train and prepare his vocals during our recording. We were also fortunate enough to be given a great opportunity to shoot alongside Brandon Beal in some of the most beautiful sceneries in our country, like the Banjaran Hotsprings Retreat in Ipoh and at the Semenyih Dam and Fish Valley, showcasing our country’s lush greenery.”
“It’s been an exciting journey so far with the second single, we all worked really hard in making sure it’s the music Malaysia and the region deserves.” said Adib Khalid, CEO of Tune Studios, when asked about Tune Studios involvement in the second single, "With You". This is our way of showing our appreciation to everyone who had supported De Fam so far.”

About Brandon Beal
Brandon released his first album “Comfortable” in 2006, a collaboration with the Danish / American producer and musician Multiman. Although released independently (which in this case actually meant taking the track files and uploading them directly onto iTunes themselves), it went on to sell over 80.000 units.
Beal was introduced to Multiman through his brother Teron. They grew up together in the small town of Tyler, Texas, about a 90 minute drive from Dallas. And what one chose to drive in Tyler was a defining decision, it was a town where everybody recognized everybody else by the car they drove.
Brandon had kept in contact with Multiman following their earlier collaboration and it was this connection that led him to Denmark in 2011. By this time he had grown weary of the culture of the US music scene, he felt trapped in a situation where contacts and influences were given more value than accomplishments. He no longer wanted to be in a position where the success or failure of his work was at the mercy of others. He began to work almost immediately with DJ Rasmus Hedegaard. His inspiration blossomed, they complimented each other artistically and, performing as Beal & Ras, their debut single “Money” became a big club hit.
Brandon also began working with the internationally renowned Danish DJ Kato, including the track “Never Let U Go” (which also featured Snoop Dogg) and peaked at #2 on the Danish singles chart. He collaborated closely with Lukas Graham on his phenomenally successful debut album which was #1 on the album chart for 3 months and went quadruple platinum. He co-wrote the single “Better Than Yourself”, a triple platinum #1 single and one of the most affecting emotional fusing of lyrical poetry and complimentary melody to have been heard in many years.
Late in 2014 Brandon released the single “Twerk It Like Miley”. It was produced by Hedegaard and features Danish teen idol Christopher. It was an instant smash #1 on the Danish chart and contributed toward Beal receiving a Danish Grammy for Club Act of the Year. It also happens to be one of the most infectious pop/dance hits of this century. The world seems to be in agreement, as I write the single is Top 10 in 6 different Asian countries, breaking in Germany, Top 20 on the US Hip Hop/R&B chart and heading for crossover land.
