Secret Signals
Director

Edwin started his journey into the music industry as the bassist of pop/rock band The Summer State, performing at various music festivals across Asia and opening for international rock bands, Simple Plan, Yellowcard and more.

Edwin’s curiosity for the business aspect of the music industry led him to join Secret Signals in 2013 and eventually became a full-fledged partner in 2017. Edwin oversees all day-to-day operations of the business, leading PR & marketing campaigns for clients as well as developing new opportunities in the region with partners.

Edwin is also the co-creator for the cultural phenomenon EMONIGHTSG under the collective Look Ma, No Hands!, making waves in the nightlife scene and providing a platform for the alternative-rock community and subculture in Singapore. EMONIGHTSG has performed at major festivals (Singapore F1 Grand Prix, Singapore Rugby Sevens, Baybeats Festival & more) and hosted scene legends Ryan Key (Yellowcard), Shane Told (Silverstein) & Kyle Patrick (The Click Five).
