Brown’s Twitter page was flooded with Katun’s artwork for his single that was released 4 January. ‘Undecided’ is Brown’s first single for his upcoming album Indigo. Malaysians have been commenting on his Instagram post expressing how proud they are with him.

Based in Klang Valley, Katun is a big name in the Malaysian graffiti-scene. According to Star2, Katun has been working and collaborating with commercial brands, creating large scales murals in and outside of Malaysia for the last 10 years. Aside from that, he also displays his work at non-mainstream art spaces, and is currently working with fellow street artist Orkibal at the Bunnies: The Secret Hideout exhibition at Awegallery in Petaling Jaya.

His nickname Katun comes from his love for cartoon characters and his childhood passion for reimagining them–which can still be seen in his work today. We’re super proud of Katun (not like he needs it) for his tremendous achievement and for pushing the boundaries of Malaysian art beyond our shores.
