Be one with your shadow.

My name is Benny Ng and I am the vocalist/songwriter/co-producer of Shadowary. 

I released a four-track EP called “Manifest” in 2019. Four years later, I reshaped my musical identity and honed my sound. I make melodic metalcore music infused with acoustic piano and designed sounds. Linkin Park and Motionless in White fuel my inspiration for their heavy guitars and distorted vocals. Female pop artists like Taylor Swift keep my wheels turning with their vivid lyrics and catchy melodies.

I have always had a need to express myself through art. I love making stuff and I grew up making robots with Lego bricks. 

When my emotions get overwhelming, I let it all out in a safe space – music. It is the best medium for me because I get to build a song from scratch and perform it in front of people. 

As a kid growing up in Malaysia, I had always felt like an outcast. Linkin Park’s music helped me through my darkest days. When I was nineteen, I got a flame tattoo on my right arm. It was a promise to myself that I would do for others what Linkin Park did for me through music. 

“Hourglass” is the song that reflects the changes I have been through, both musically and personally. I wrote, co-produced and oversaw all aspects of production, performance and visual direction. I have finally found myself as a musician and this song is only the beginning.

I write sad and angry songs because it helps me face and embrace my shadow self. I hope my music will inspire you and make you feel you are not alone. 

Be one with your shadow.
