MALAYSIANSKINI | Growing up in a family with a deep love for music, Hyrul Anuar was exposed to the melodic strumming of guitars, rhythmic beats of traditional drums and many other instruments.

While his father and brothers excelled at musical instruments and often performed at community events, Hyrul gravitated towards drawing, fascinated by the power of visuals to convey emotion and tell stories.

The eleventh child out of 12 siblings often spent hours sketching mystical characters and scenes, letting his imagination run wild on paper.
