William Quah has been a
\nfamiliar face and voice in the
\nMalaysian entertainment scene
\nfor over 6 years. Starting out with
\na number of TV Commercials, he
\nsoon made the move to TV,
\nworking on two seasons of TV2?s
\nfirst English Music Chart Show,
\nStar Trax. While there, he began
\npicking up the skills necessary to
\nmake magic off camera as well,
\ntrying his hand at scriptwriting,
\ndirecting and producing.<\/p>\n
After being noticed during a
\nnumber of high profile celeb
\ninterviews (including Avril
\nLavigne, Missy Elliott and
\nMatchbox 20), he was invited to
\njoin Channel [V] International,
\nwhere he was the only male VJ,
\nand also an executive script
\nwriter for both his own and other
\nshows.<\/p>\n
Growing bored with the cookie
\ncutter image of a VJ, Will made
\nthe move to ntv7, Malaysia\u2019s
\nmost successful independent
\nfree-to-air station, where he
\nbecame an anchor for the English
\nNews, earning him the informal
\ntitle of Youngest News Anchor in
\nMalaysia. His primary role in the station was as a content creator and brand marketeer,
\nand this led to him being made head of the newly created English Current Affairs
\nDepartment, from which were spawned Anugerah Screen Angkasa nominated shows
\nsuch as MNN Entertainment (Malaysia\u2019s premier entertainment, lifestyle and fashion
\nprogram, covering everything from the Oscars and Grammy\u2019s to London and New York
\nFashion week, top artist interviews and cutting edge celebrity gossip) and The Breakfast
\nShow (the highly rated, award winning morning variety show that showcased a number of
\nMalaysian firsts, with a number of book and product launches, top bands and personalities
\nperforming live, and a selection of the most interesting issues affecting both KL and the
\nworld), both of which garnered excellent ratings in their respective belts.<\/p>\n
As well as overseeing the production of shows in both English and Malay, Will was also
\nhosting over 3 hours of live TV a day, making him Malaysia\u2019s most prolific presenter, a title
\nas yet unmatched by any other host in the country (this was topped by his 7 hour
\nmarathon live hosting of ntv7?s anniversary celebrations, a feat never before performed on
\nlive Malaysian TV).<\/p>\n
After ntv7?s buyout by Media Prima, Will turned to his freelance projects, working on a
\nhuge number of TV commercials, voice overs, live events and short season shows,
\nincluding hosting the F1 pre-show on 8tv with Malaysia\u2019s only F1 driver to date, Alex
\nYoong. During this time, he also worked extensively on his first love \u2013 writing \u2013 contributing
\nand editing for magazines such as FHM, Harper\u2019s Bazaar, The Malay Mail (including the
\ninfamous \u201cSex Issue\u201d), and Vision KL.<\/p>\n
After a number of meetings, Will was lured into a brand new medium in mid 2007 \u2013 radio.
\nHe joined RedFM as the youngest breakfast show host in the country, and one of the only
\nDeeJays to debut in the prime time slot, making big waves throughout the industry with his
\ndark sarcasm, odd points of view, and resonant voice. Teamed with radio legend, Shazmin
\nof MixFM fame, they proved to be a highly niche but much loved pairing, with a host of
\nloyal listeners. After a year of the show, Will was lured back to the world of TV, rejoining
\nntv7\u2018s The Breakfast Show as one of the new anchors tasked with getting the program
\nback on it\u2019s feet. In Will\u2019s own words, \u201cI miss radio, but it was always more of a hobby than
\na career. It\u2019s easy to do, and I can\u2019t imagine who could find it challenging. TV requires you
\nto be far more switched on, and the rewards are far greater\u201d. He was the host of the
\ncountry\u2019s first live telecast of Miss Malaysia Universe in November 2011, emceeing the
\npageant watched by over 20 million Malaysians, and has been a familiar face in
\nproductions in Germany for RTL, and has been featured on the Today Show on NBC.<\/p>\n
As one of the region\u2019s most sought after emcees, Will has hosted everything from major
\nlaunches for brands ranging from tech to telcos, to government functions, financial
\nconferences, and fashion shows.<\/p>\n
In 2010, Will left the Breakfast Show once again to allow more time for other programs. In
\naddition to a number of foreign productions in Europe and Singapore, he also travels for
\nand hosts the motosports@petronas on Star Sports. His first feature film, commissioned
\nby Astro, was shot in Italy and debuted to Malaysian audiences in Feb 2011, receiving rave
\nreviews. He has also appeared in a number of independent films in the UK and Malaysia,
\nthe most recent being the box office hit \u201cRelationship Status\u201d which opened late last
\nyear.<\/p>\n
As of 2011, Will is also the tech columnist for Esquire Magazine, while still finding ample
\ntime to take on the many emceeing, hosting and writing assignments that come his way
\nfreelance.
\nWill is also a talented surfer of the internet, and wastes away what free time he has
\npainting, building things out of all sorts of rubbish, and reading so much that he spends
\nmore on books than on food.<\/p>\n
Will currently resides between Kuala Lumpur (for the food) and Berlin (for the drinks).<\/p>\n
