Earlier this month, TSMC Principal Mr Eric Ng 黃韻仁, and digital content strategist/singer-songwriter Mr JJ Ong (Falling Feathers) conducted a virtual workshop with 30 participants tuning in.

The session was highly informative and provided insights, knowledge and tips for those wanting to work towards building a sustainable career in music. They also touched on the importance of partnerships and collaboration.

Some of the questions asked during the Q&A session were:

• “How do you produce music in Singapore if you’re super broke?”
• “What’s the best way to release music here in Singapore if you do not have a recording deal?”
• “With the current COVID situation shutting down many options like gigging and busking, what are some other viable income sources in a music career?”

A big thank you to all our participants! We sincerely hope that the session was inspiring and that you’ve learned something during the time.
