“SG:SW I Write The Songs” is a Nationwide Mandarin-Pop Song Writing Festival, providing a platform to uncover local music talents and cultivate the next generation of original music talents.

Since 2017, Composers & Authors Society of Singapore (COMPASS) and Ocean Butterflies Music (OB Music) embarked on a journey to uncover local music talents and cultivate the next generation of original music talents. In 2018, the organising committee welcomed Singapore Chinese Cultural Centre (SCCC) as one of the organisers for annual SG:SW I Write The Songs. Since the first instalment of SG:SW in 2017, we have received close to 2,000 compositions from more than 1,600 entrants.

“SG:SW I Write The Songs” is not about competition, but to build a supportive community of homegrown talents and provide a prominent and iconic platform to discover outstanding original songs written by our locals. As seen from the previous instalments of SG:SW, winning songs get to be professionally produced and released, with music videos specially recorded for these winning entries.

We hope to invite aspiring songwriters to be part of this exciting journey – SG:SW 2023! Come and take part in this Festival and you may be the next hitmaker in the region!
