Sri Lanka’s only international recording star and now an actor too in the Hollywood film ‘Nightwalk’ raised the barriers of entertainment yet again when he broke into song during his acceptance speech.
Not a dry eye in the place as Sri Lankans from all over the world rose to the occasion to cheer this very talented young man though almost 70 who has kept the Sri Lankan flag flying high throughout the world. Introduced to the world at the World Music TV Awards by the legendary Alicia Keys as a ‘Superstar’ Alston Koch proved once again that Sri Lankan talent is amongst the leading and the best in the world of entertainment.
He leaves for the USA where he receives the ‘Exceptional Achievement Award in California (Los Angeles) on 18 November before returning to Sri Lanka yet again for the premiere of his new movie ‘According to Matthew’ with Jacqui Fernandez.
