"Gnawing into guitar wood with dextrous fingertips, Steven Chelliah has innovated. His latest album, FuzAsian, is a combination of Fusion Jazz and Indian Carnatic Music that engenders a new sound, which the Malaysian guitarist/songwriter calls his own..Chelliahâ€™s sound relies on what he calls the FuzAsianÂ® Method, a process whereby he employs Indian scales to anchor his rocking sound, a guitar-based tonality that draws from the work of the great Paul McCartney, in a blaze of inspired grit, guitar fuzz, articulate motifs, and blistering chords."
