Namewee, born Wee Meng Chee, is a Malaysian singer and filmmaker who started putting out music around 2007. His song 'Tokyo Bon (Makudonarudo)' from 2010 became a viral hit, mixing parody with observations about Japanese culture and fast food. He followed it with albums like 'I Want to Go Home' in 2011 and 'Asia No. 1' in 2013.
His work often uses satire to comment on social and political topics, which has led to criticism and official pushback in Malaysia. He has continued to release music, including the song 'You Know Who Is My Father,' while maintaining a deliberately provocative stance in his lyrics.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
