Express In Music links up musicians with individuals or companies looking for original songs. Clients seeking music can submit a request to a pool of musicians. Interested musicians will submit demo tapes to the clients, and the clients pay a stipulated fee for the recordings. Clients have ranged from TV channel looking for songs for an advertiser and a mother who wanted to encourage her son in his studies.
“Why don’t we get local musicians together to do this? I feel they lack opportunities currently,” said Jerry Chen.
Besides giving musicians a chance to showcase their talents, the company arranges meet-ups for its pool of musicians based in Singapore. Express In Music hopes to bring about a change in the local music industry and help musicians with monetary awards.
