Live Gigs: what's it really like?

Exhilarating and being alive!

The preparation for any live gigs can be exhausting and nerve-wrecking! But once you're on stage, you feel like you are the star for the night even though it could be just one short moment, it feels like a lifetime...

So here's my thoughts on my live gigs:

"It’s every aspiring musician’s dream to have the opportunity to perform on a beautiful stage with billowing smoke effect while strumming, singing and dancing to the tunes that resonate with an engaging audience. I am ebullient I found that with the Open Mic culture in Singapore. It doesn’t matter whether you can sing like Lady Gaga or rock like Queen. The audience truly appreciates the efforts made by musicians to put up the open mic live music performances. Most of the audience are aspiring musicians who share the same passion for music that makes open mic so special! The imagination and joy in sharing my music is so enticing. I am so amazed by the power of music, it is a universal language that brings together a community of diverse musicians. Together we rock and sing the night away to our hearts’ content! Open Mics break the monotony of life.

A very big thank you to our local music community groups: Gold Data Music Events, One Jam Productions and We Are Music to help provide opportunities to develop our local musicians to grow and shine! Without them, I won't have thought of writing so many songs as I won't know where to share my music to an audience who love music as much as I do.
