How has society changed in their perception of ex-offenders?
Ridzwan and Upu are also part of AMPLIFY - a ground-up initiative to spread awareness about music and ex-offenders.
Get to know Ridzwan Latiff and Upu Jaldairie and hear how music education as well as performing as a singer/musician in a band has empowered them and is inspiring others to allow music to touch lives.
