I think most local SIngaporean musicians and singers are not
that successful like those artistes from other countries simply
because the Singapore market is very small. Its time for them to
look abroad and make a name for themselves. However, they must
choose the right country to further their career and goals….think
carefully where do you think your music or your talent can florish.
To me for English songs…try the South Korean market and Malay songs
try the Malaysian, Indonesian and Brunei market, Chinese songs…try
Malaysia, China, Taiwan and Indonesia (there are more Chinese
Indonesians there if compare to Singapore and Malaysia) and for
Indian songs…try Malaysia, Sri Lanka and India. It is not easy but
if you do not try it you will never know. Invasion of Singapore
musicians and singers abroad….is that possible? Likewise, this also
applies to our local Singaporean actors, actresses, film producers
and directors.
Hope this article will help to inspire them.
THE BEATLES’ AMERICAN INVASION
BEGINS.
The day The Beatles’ American invasion began. The Beatles’
Boeing 707, Pan Am flight 101, left London Airport early on the
morning of 7 February 1964, bound for New York City.
“All we knew was that a couple of the records had done well in
the States. We believed there was still a huge mountain to climb if
The Beatles were really to make it there.
At Heathrow there was pandemonium. Thousands of fans had arrived
from all over Britain and any ordinary passengers hoping to travel
that day had to give up. Screaming, sobbing girls held up ‘We Love
You, Beatles’ banners and hordes of police, linking arms in long
chains, held them back. We were ushered into a massive press
conference, where journalists, spotting me at the side of the room,
demanded a picture of John and me together. To my surpirse John
agreed. He was usually careful to keep Julian and me away from
publicity, but this time, carried along by the momentum of the
whole thing, he agreed.
Minutes later we were ushered to the plane. At the top of the
steps the boys waved to the packed airport terraces as the screams
crescendoed.”
