In 2017, Composers & Authors Society of Singapore (COMPASS) and Ocean Butterflies Music embarked on a journey to uncover local music talents and cultivate the next generation of original music talents. Titled “SG:SW I Write The Songs”, the festival aims to provide a platform for new and emerging songwriters to showcase their original work and network with fellow songwriters and industry professionals.
This year, we welcome Singapore Chinese Cultural Centre to join us as a co-organizer of “SG:SW2018 I Write The Songs”. The Singapore Chinese Cultural Centre (SCCC) aims to nurture and promote Singapore Chinese culture, and to foster mutual understanding among all ethnic communities of our multicultural heritage, which aligns well with our Festival direction.
“SG:SW I Write The Songs” is not about competition, but to build a supportive community of homegrown talents and provide a prominent and iconic platform to discover outstanding original songs written by our locals.
Have you been writing songs? Or have an interest in writing songs? Come and take part in this Festival and you may be the next hit-maker for the regional market!
