新岛人才济济 [amazed by talents in singapore]

we didn't receive a single demo from malaysia but we were referred to many talented singers in tiny dot singapore.

we were amazed. we are only a crossway apart but the availability of talent pool in tiny dot is so much better than in malaysia.

let's me tell you the profile of singers in SG - they are all good-looking, sophisticated, bilingual (singing jazz in mandarin and english), resourceful (they all release EPs under indie labels), confident and the ability to fuse the west and the east. their portfolios are all impressive. eventho' some of them have very "young" voices, their resourcefulness really impress me.

why is that we don't have such talents in malaysia? to start with, we are not a metropolitan city like SG and we don't have such vibrant cultural landscape, environment and music scene. the goverment in MY also don't support arts and culture as whole-heartedly as the government of SG.

frankly, these are not surprises, knowing how sophisticated the SG society is. but it is really nice to know how vibrant the indie and jazz music scene there.

oh, btw, we are not looking for "diva" la. just some big words to impress. so how about "diva in the making"? ;-)

we are still searching patiently.
