National Arts Council Singapore’s inaugural BIGSOUND showcase back in 2016 established the country as a serious international contender when it comes to music, and the 2018 edition is looking to take things to the next level.
With the country producing rapping legend Masia One and producer Myrne, and last year’s Singapore showcase packing a serious punch, there’s no doubt the 2018 instalment will pack a punch, with punters being promised the “most exciting acts are being sent over to rep the country”.
