About Doppelganger Open Mic Open Stage Doppelganger Open Mic Open Stage is a community project adopted by Go International Group Sdn Bhd – a marketing communication consultancy company based in Kuala Lumpur founded by Jasmine Low (Jaz) and Nikki Yeo. Both believe in contributing to a vibrant arts and music Malaysia by creating opportunities and a platform for singers, songwriters, poets, writers, dancers, illustrators, filmmakers to showcase their works.
Jaz started organising gigs and open mic sessions in 2002 after being inspired by Sunday evening gigs put together by shoe salesperson by day, amazing singer songwriter by night in Sydney, Australia. Originally named 'Valhalla Open Mic', Doppelganger Open Mic Open Stage has put together over 80 music gigs and readings at venues such as La Bodega Tengkat Tong Shin, No Black Tie, Jam Rock Asia, Paul's Place, Liquid Bar, Alliance Francaise including larger shows like the all-women 'Shanti Grrl Gig' in conjunction with International Women's Day in 2004, an all-women charity gigs for International Womens' Day titled 'Unleashing Potential' in 2006 at No Black Tie to help raise money for House of Hope – an all girls' shelter, 'Music with the Stars' in conjunction with the Malaysian International Aerospace Adventure 2007 Road Show at Midvalley Exhibition Centre.
From June 2005 to October 2006, the Troubaganger Shows (a collaboration between Doppelganger and Troubadours) provided monthly performances at La Bodega – a tapas bar located at Tengkat Tong Shin every first Sunday of the month. This was the kickstart for the Wayang Kata series of spoken word events initiated by British Council. At the end of 2006, Doppelganger opened Indie Scene Café, a two-month project which provided a space for film screenings, gigs, art exhibits and retail outlet for Malaysian-made independent works like CDs, short films. Doppelganger continues to organise occasional gigs and readings around KL. If you know of any bathroom singers or office hummers, email us the suspects and we'll get them up on stage.
