yes i do know chinese music is imported from taiwan hk etc... but do know many of the arrangers producer are from singapore?
for eg kenn wu, dick lee, lee wei song,etc etc to name a few.
local singer-songwriter LJJ is definately a singaporean.
didnt expect this post to bloom in a day .

Re: ..
imho, marley wasn't a revolutionary or innovator, i believe that the music form and its exponents existed over the years. he was The One who burst it on the world. just like rock, it has existed over the yrs
i want us to think abt drawing from our very own experiences to make and evolve what we currently have, to put into word and chord chart, to move ppl and say "yeah, that was what i feel as well". can a singaporean do that? will that mean success to our eyes?

its hard to be known/famous locally before hitting the cultural strongholds of taiwan/HK/korea/japan.
i know that these hardworking ppl are getting what they worked hard for, but we are still not a pop culture capital. we're in charge and we need to make it so
when can a singaporean youth in lime magazine stop wearing jrock/harajuku/hiphop/emo/punk?
and
when can a japanese/american/taiwanese/korean start wearing singapore orchid shirt/dress?
OhhhhmmmhhhO

To know people etc, to get your things going - hard work. I don't mean you have to be alternative, but you can't be riding on the wave, which many have that kind of mentality. Fads come and go, good music is timeless. Practically though, you would expect that, for the more experimental and complex, heavy music you play, the less your fan base in general.
* Edit - I meant mainstream as whatever the current trend is, not so much as whether it's pop or rock or any other genre.
But you still haven't defined success. So the question remains dubious.
