SG:SW I Write The Songs<\/strong> is a Nationwide Mandarin-Pop Song Writing Festival, providing a platform to uncover local music talents and cultivate the next generation of original music talents.<\/p>\n

In 2017, Composers & Authors Society of Singapore (COMPASS) and Ocean Butterflies Music (OB Music) embarked on a journey to uncover local music talents and cultivate the next generation of original music talents.<\/p>\n

Last year, we welcomed Singapore Chinese Cultural Centre (SCCC) to join us as a co-organizer of SG:SW2018 I Write The Songs<\/strong>. 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.<\/p>\n

SG:SW I Write The Songs<\/strong> 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.<\/p>\n

This year, organized by Composers & Authors Society of Singapore (COMPASS), Singapore Chinese Cultural Centre (SCCC) and Ocean Butterflies Music, the festival continues to aim to provide a platform for new and emerging songwriters to showcase their original work and network with fellow songwriters and industry professionals.<\/p>\n

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!<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
