CO-FOUNDERS & CO-ORGANIZERS
The co-organizers of AXEAN Festival (formerly known as ASEAN Music Showcase Festival) are a group of gig/concert promoters, music festival/conference owners, artist managers, music professionals and community leaders from all over Southeast Asia and beyond who are confident in the quality and creativity of Southeast Asian musical talents, and believe that they belong on the world stage alongside global superstars.
