In the local radio industry, it is usually the music director’s job to decide the songs that get aired on the stations, so the DJ-cum-artists themselves do not end up playing their own tunes on their shows. In the early 1990s, Klass was a singer and bass player in local pop trio Kick!, which had hit songs such as Jane and Freedom (In Me) on local and Malaysian radio stations. The band picked up two awards, Best Group and Best Song, for Jane at the 1993 Radio Music Awards.
