[EVENT] Noise-Timbre Singer-Songwriter Programme
If you have been following my AOTW posts (which has been neglected for some time..so sorry!), you will realize that I am a huge supporter of YouTube and local talents. So many of them have made it big (just look at Sam Tsui, Christina Grimmie, Maddi Jane, our very own local singer Inch Chua etc !) It is not an impossible dream for you aspiring songwriters/singers out there.
In just another 11 days time, submission will close on 16th Jan for this year’s Noise-Timbre Singer-Songwriter Programme and 6 winners will emerge from the 10 finalists, whereby they will go through a 4-week fully-sponsored professional course to train them in performance and technical skills. As a ‘graduation’ from the course, they will then take on the stage for 20 minutes as an opening act at Timbre@ the Substation! The trainers include local music veterans like Mang Irama Dusique from Goodfellas/Zero Sequence and music veteran Kevin Mathews.
Sounds really exciting and I can’t wait to see the finalists videos! Hope to see some familiar names when the public voting begins!

AOTW [19] : Sam Tsui
Disappeared for quite some time since it was my final papers, finally…Goodbye Year 3 Term 1 !
Starting things off again with Artiste of the Week (AOTW)- Featuring Sam Tsui !
Actually I was looking for Glee songs on youtube and came across his cover of “Don’t Stop Believing”
Really enjoyed it and I think he has a great voice (even though the video was alil creepy at first – clones attack ! haha)
I thought it was a great cover and check out Sam’s myspace for other covers !
Don't Stop Believing
Just a small town girl
livin' in a lonely world
She took the midnight train goin' anywhere
Just a city boy, born and raised in South Detroit
He took the midnight train goin' anywhere
A singer in a smoky room
The smell of wine and cheap perfume
For a smile they can share the night
It goes on and on and on and on
Strangers waiting
Up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching in the nights
Streetlights, people
Living just to find emotion
Hiding somewhere in the nights
Working hard to get my fill,
Everybody wants a thrill
Payin' anything to roll the dice
Just one more time
Some will win, some will lose
Some are born to sing the blues
And now the movie never ends
It goes on and on and on and on
Don't stop believin
Hold on to that feelin'
Streetlight, people
Don't stop!
