Get to know Malaysia’s Mouseketeers

Charis

(Head Mouseketeer) Age: 26

From: Kuala Lumpur

Favourite Disney character: Mulan (Mulan) stepped out of her comfort zone and fought the war even though she’s a woman. I can relate to her because I went into (singing on) YouTube as my career even though my parents wanted me to be a doctor.

Favourite idol: Taeyeon from Girls Generation. Her voice is to die for.

Faiz

Age: 15

From: Johor Baru

Favourite Disney character: Woody (Toy Story 3) because he’s an understanding, rational leader to all his friends, and I look up to him. I want to be a leader someday too. Favourite idol: I admire Shawn Mendes. He inspired me to be a professional singer.

Natasya

Age: 14

From: Selangor

Favourite Disney character: Elsa (Frozen) because I have a younger sister. And like Elsa and Anna, we used to fight a lot and then make up. (Elsa) inspired me to fight less and be a good big sister.

Favourite idol: Christina Aguilera started as a Mouseketeer and became a great singer. I want to be a superstar like her.

Dheena

Age: 13

From: Negeri Sembilan

Favourite Disney character: Merida (Brave) as she goes to the ends of the world to save her mum. I want to be loyal and brave like her.

Favourite idol: I love BTS. It’s a South Korean boyband who started out in the hip-hop genre and now they’ve branched out and their music is a mix of everything.

Gabriel

Age: 16

From: Selangor

Favourite Disney character: Aladdin (Aladdin) mainly because he wasn’t your typical prince. He started out as an urchin from the streets. I loved how he built his way up to become a prince.

Favourite idol: I’ve been listening to Daft Punk for a long time. Their music is never the same, they can switch from sounding romantic to metal, or pop synth.
