"I love being an albino rock star." That's Levan for you, sharp, unpredictable and in-your-face. Onstage he is the raging rock rebel, often seen in controversial outfits screaming his message to fans. STOMP quickly learns that there is more to Levan than meets the eye. In the span of one day, we discover that the real Levan is actively involved in charity, prefers not to go clubbing, collects stuff-toys and respects his wonderful parents (guess who does Levan's eye make-up?).

Nurasyikin Hamzah or Kyn as she is popularly known (My Precious) has actually shunned the public eye in Singapore, until this first exclusive interview. My Precious has toured countries like Australia and Japan, but until recently, the band felt the Singaporean masses were not ready for their hardcore head-bang-worthy punk music. We discover that she is not only extremely mischievous but also a headstrong and driven artist and performer. Oh and boy does she stretch those vocal chords to the max!
She screams in the name of Rock, and there's no stopping her.
