Have you ever wondered how some of Malaysia’s biggest music artistes were discovered? Here are a few examples.
In the late 1990s, Malaysian Chinese artistes started making waves in Taiwan. This included Fish Leong and Penny Tai, who were both discovered at the Halo Songwriting Contest, and Michael Wong Guang Liang and Victor Wong Ping Guan, who used to be a singer-songwriting duo that had submitted a demo to Rock Records, who signed them on as artistes.There are many more successful Malaysian artistes we have not mentioned here, who have had various starting points in their careers.
Other examples of Malaysian musicians who were discovered on the Internet are notoriously outspoken Namewee, hijab-wearing rapper Bunga, and singer-songwriter Priscilla Abby. This has created a bigger pool of potential artistes to pick from. “Those days we would have, maybe, three potential talents we could have picked to develop. Nowadays, we can choose from a pool of, say, 100!
“We still have people going out to scout for talents, but these days, we tend to start from the pool of Internet talent first. The opportunity for both label and talent to connect with each other is much easier now,” he says. Malaysian female rapper Bunga had a strong social media presence before she signed on to Warner Music. – AP
Land of talent yes, land of equal opportunities and same level playing field, no
