Many musicians in S'pore still making $150 a night since mid-70s, laments jazz pianist Jeremy Monteiro
Monteiro, a Cultural Medallion recipient for his contribution to the local jazz scene, began performing gigs at clubs in 1976 as a teenager. He writes that a musician in Singapore with freelance club gigs – because there are few full-time residency gigs nowadays – who teaches regularly, either in a school or on a freelance basis, and does the occasional corporate gig, which pays much better, can earn between $4,000 and $8,000 a month.
