I wanna be a singer...
-
This sounds crazy but I wanna pursue my dream of being a singer. I know it's hard especially in Singapore, and the English market for local artistes is virtually non-existent. But I believe I have the interest and potential to develop further. How??
It's like my mom thinks that I should be a lawyer or something. She frowns upon such stuff...dismissing them as indecent etc. Singaporeans (esp. parents) have this stupid mentality. Amongst them are 1) studying arts is no future 2) entertainment like singing is not a respectable job.
Have you heard of lawyers jumping into cake-selling businesses? Not mainly because they're too stressed, but in the first place, where was the interest? It was all due to parental influence.
What should I do? Make myself happy at the expense of my parents or vice versa? It's either this or that. Cos I know my mom will never allow me to sing.
Frustrated.

hey, to be in the music scene, you need passion. If you think you got the talents, got what it takes to be big, then you gotta keep the passion. I play in a local band, it gets kinda hard to carry on sometimes..but there are many many many bands, believe me, out there who carries on becos of PASSION. Some have broke out of Singapore, Plain Sunset, Urban Karma or even jazz singers like Jacintha are good examples..so, if u really wan to fulfil ur dream, go do something abt it, start recording some demos, send them to pubs, companies, if you write original songs and sing better still, contact the good people at http://www.awake.com.sg , they will be able to get u a slot to perform in public..we did and we sure glad we do what we did.

Hey kelvin, I think you have a good voice. continue writing songs, as a musician i sincerely believes in singing songs that i write, but thats me onli lah.
If you are realli interested in playing in public with your original songs, you can contact the good pple at http://www.awake.com.sg they are one of the best gig organisers in Singapore for local talents. If u are ready, go ahead or else alternatively, you can always send in your demo to some record companies and let them scrutinise your songs and in the end, in their minds, all they think, is, will these songs make money...defeat the purpose sia...hahahaha oops its me again. -
music is abt passion and if u haf it in u.. then go for it.. although it's goin to be reali tough if not impossible to get noticed here.. u could haf the best of both worlds and maybe sing in yr free time - who noes.. someone may recognise u some day.. and at the same time pursue a career.. coz now times r bad.. anyway i love music too.. so get where ur coming from.. passion is smth that shld live on forever.. if u haf a dream then go for it lor.. u live once.. live w/o regrets..Originally posted by Psychologist:This sounds crazy but I wanna pursue my dream of being a singer.

which which ? *ha* sighh... sometimes i feel im just writing rubbish songs. it's just penning down emotions. i think i'll start to write some songs of hope and love like he yao shan's type of music rather than singing rubbish. then i can minister love and hope to people around. that would probably be more helpful.Originally posted by Master -_-:my fren showed me this website.. about an aspiring singer.. dunno if he made it liao
