Multidisciplinary creative director leading creative and content development for global campaigns at the intersection of music, brands, and entertainment.
Launched 88rising’s independent music platform Future Asian Music with a multi-city music showcase featuring the hottest emerging artists in Southeast Asia
Future Asian Music (FAM) is a new platform from record label 88rising dedicated to championing emerging and independent Asian artists from all around the world, offering music distribution as well as content and performances opportunities to help the world take notice.
We needed a big splash to launch the brand, so we partnered with Levi’s SEA to create a multinational music showcase of the hottest artists in the region. The tour stopped at four different cities — Zack Tabudlo in Manila, Fariz Jabba in Singapore, Zamaera in Kuala Lumpur, and Ramengvrl in Jakarta — before every artist joined Thai rap superstar MILLI for a wild finale in Bangkok.
For Levi’s, this co-branded concert and content series became one of their most successful campaigns to date, giving the brand opportunities to style each artist, drive in-store promotion, and activate experientially across the entire region.
Our team was involved at every stage of activation, from developing the FAM identity to curating artists to producing the shows in partnership with Hypebeast SEA and Brite Panther.
