About CreatorWeek & Music Matters Live:
The inaugural edition of CreatorWeek – a new annual festival dedicated to celebrating and championing Asia Pacific’s music and creator economy, will debut in Singapore this year. CreatorWeek will connect content creators, musicians, artists & fans with global business executives from platforms and brands to share ideas, network, perform & learn.
At the heart of CreatorWeek will be the 19th edition of Music Matters and Music Matters Live, bringing the conference & live music festival back to it's original month of May. Additional highlights include the CreatorWorld Conference, as well as Learning Matters music & creator academies, and the It’s A Girl Thing festival for young women.
CreatorWeek is more than a festival; it's a platform where ideas are born, collaborations are forged, and the future of the creator economy is shaped. We believe in the power of creativity to drive change and innovation. CreatorWeek aims to empower young creators & artists, provide opportunities for learning and networking, and foster an environment where talent can thrive." Jasper Donat, Co-Founder & CEO of Branded
To help bring the festival to life, Branded has formed a strategic partnership with Caldecott Music Group (CMG), which is also headquartered in Singapore. CMG will bring the might of its collective of owned and operated music brands and venues to the festival, including BandLab Technologies, NME Networks and Vista MusicalInstruments (VMI). VMI’s soon-to-open Swee Lee Clarke Quay music lifestyle store and experience will play a significant part in the festival.
Branded has also formed a strategic partnership with Mediacorp’s content creator network Bloomr.SG and will work with the Bloomr.SG team to bring Singapore-based content creators together with local fans and brands from across the globe through the CreatorWeek platform.
