Text of the page (random words):
ght i would get the opportunity to do right until about 3 weeks ago where i was asked if i was keen to join the entourage of malaysian labels and artiste managers to expose our products and services to an international music audience yes the trip is partially paid for by matrade through their mdg grant and i applaud such initiatives as if it wasn t for you guys i would not be on this plane today anyway as usual when i have too much time to myself i d always like to reflect back on things that i have learnt in my journey and give a word or two of advice to my fellow readers respect a word that is slightly rarely used in the malaysian entertainment industry anymore it s sad but true exploitation seems to be the more appropriate way to put things this way now i d like to breakdown my thoughts for your reading pleasure on what each person means to the other talent managers widely mistaken in our industry as people who manage your schedules and follow up with enquiries this is just the basic job of a manager you see the real job function of a talent manager is really much more than what it seems a manager is or should be someone that identifies the talent of their clients develop those talents exploit the talents in various potential monetizing platforms and ensure that the talents brand prolongs in the industry that they are in here is a rough estimate of how much a talent manager has to invest in the development of a singer per annum in malaysia production of song rm 6 10 000 00 production of lyric music video rm 8 15 000 00 exposure on social platforms like youtube facebook instagram rm 15 000 00 marketing of talent rm 10 000 00 as you can see a serious manager or management spends an average of rm 50 000 00 per annum on an artist of course there are ways to decrease this cost when dealt in volume but still the effort put in is no less painful so talents do the math if your management takes a cut of let s say 20 30 of your income per year how close are they to breaking even with their investment however of course the argument is whether or not your management is actually doing the above on the talent side management has to also understand that talents need to eat and this in a lot of ways means giving the talents the leniency of doing some jobs that helps them pay the bills even though it means that we re not getting a cut out of it it just has to be under control that s all after all we re all out there trying to make things work for each other then comes the talent agents the most successful people of the industry the people who has got connections to give jobs but also the people who refuses to work with the talent managers had this conversation once with a prominent figure of the industry and he labelled these people the 10 man the guy who comes to talents and say hey i got this job i can pay you this much but if you let your management take the job you will get very little now in malay we call this kind of people kurang ajar but hey these are the most popular breed of people so after all that is said and done i hope talents understand better what their management is doing for them and how the management too needs to break even with their investments and for managers out there there is nothing more important that to making sure your talents are comfortable and making more money with you then they were doing by themselves and for 10 man you can go and fuck yourself karma is a bitch mind my language but hey if talents managers work together and understand each other s needs and goals that s when magic is made i end my writing today with a video about goals and achieving them i hope it helps some of you improve your work career i d like to also take this opportunity to apologize to talents who have left our management in the past couple of years it is definitely the saddest thing to see talents leave it shows that we are not perfect and are sometimes incompetent too we are by the way just humans however we will improve ourselves and we always welcome our talents back with open arms i wish you guys nothing but the best in your future undertakings don t be a stranger i ll always be your mb till i write again melakaboy rate this posted in life as mr p leave a comment malaysian labels vs radio may 29 posted by melakaboy some of you might be thinking damn this guy must really have balls to write this post in the past 1 year of owning a record company i have learnt that good music is not good enough to get on radio you see what s good enough for you might not be good enough for me so do the math however there s been a lot of talk in the industry about people buying their way into airplay and i had the privilege to hear first hand of a band actually paying to get their song played imagine my shock however it is common practise in some countries to buy airtime maybe malaysian radio systems should also practice this at least it becomes a transparent transaction there s no shame in buying airtime after all it s marketing dollar for the song now i ve decided over this weekend to do some research to figure out what do you have to do in malaysia to get into the top40 of a radio chart had this discussion with some friends some time ago youtube views does not translate to airplay now i beg to differ and i cooked up the numbers to prove my point now i m gonna summarise the above so you have a better perspective of what s cool and what s not from the top 40 charts there is 12 songs which are english indonesian that s effectively 30 of the charts so if you re a malaysian artiste with a malaysian song effectively there s only about 28 30 positions available for you in the top40 astro measat broadcasting effectively is the label with the most malaysian songs on the charts they have 6 28 that s about 20 market share octave records kru fmc sony each has 2 songs on the charts interesting statistics i m lucky to have 1 so far hopefully my odds improve soon in terms of producers dj fuzz leads the table with 4 songs on the charts followed by faithful music with 3 songs edry with 2 songs those are the more outstanding ones in terms of distributors astro leads with 6 fmc with 3 indigital rusa kru warner sony carry 2 songs each so 20 out of 28 songs on the charts are distributed by the giants of the industry music pairing with labels distributors producers are based on assumption with best possible knowledge i could be wrong anyway i hope this gives you a clearer perspective of which producers gives you the best radio sound how much traction on youtube spotify for you to be a contender in the top40 who should you distribute your music with i hope this post has been useful to you it has surely opened my eyes to some interesting facts perhaps someday i should acquire 12 hours airplay report that would give me an even better data pool to understand who and what is the in thing with radio till then this is melakaboy again sharing some useful insights for budding artiste producers good luck with your art if you need me you can reach me at talents paranormal com my going to cannes for midem from 1st 12th june hopefully i ll be able to build some good network there and create more opportunities for malaysian talents their content till we meet about dear readers do subscribe for more interesting facts about the malaysian entertainment industry melakaboy rate this posted in life as mr p leave a comment elizabeth tan can t sing ajl30 jan 25 posted by melakaboy it s amazing how far elizabeth tan has come in her career first song and she made it to anugerah juara lagu the highest rated music competition in malaysia she did not win we did not expect too we know the competition and what each person is capable off for the longest time elizabeth has been effected by what people on twitter have been saying about her elizabeth tan can t sing but today she has put it behind her she now realises that people are going to condemn her simply because she has taken some limelight away from their other idols and that is probably not ok for many just some facts elizabeth made it to ajl by selection of professional juries which i had the opportunity to speak to a few whom highlighted to me that they were also worried at first as there has been so much negative comments about her ability to sing live but they were all happy with her performance in the semifinals and complimented that she has really improved now the truth is every singer is different in their own way you cannot compare norah jones to celine dion you cannot compare yuna to taylor swift you cannot compare justin bieber to pavarotti just because you do not like them it doesn t mean that they are not good the music of justin bieber taylor swift carly rae are music that the new generation can relate too and that is why they have a big following it s just like during my time where i support green day oasis and think they are better than metallica bon jovi it s a generation gap i do not understand justin bieber still i m inspired by how his career has become what it is today so to elizabeth tan who would probably almost get a heart attack when she saw the title of my post you re a gem i never once doubted that never once i hope that you will be able to keep your head up high and believe in yourself you are meant for great things i don t know how to say these things to you being your boss and all so i decided to write about it you have inspired hundreds of thousands of people in malaysia and god willing you will continue too i believe in you elizabeth tan i do melakaboy jan 2016 ps haters can continue hating please hate my post too i m ok with it your hatred fuels my passion rate this posted in life as mr p 2 comments slow down it s ok thaipusam2016 jan 25 posted by melakaboy in case you don t know what thaipusam is all about you might be keen to read up on this post i wrote back in 2009 when i made my first climb up batu caves read so it s been 7 years i ve been climbing batu caves for thaipusam it was almost been the same the previous 6 years the test of endurance determination patience focus without these 3 factors chances you might not make it up the caves on thaipusam day it s tiring super long queues and the smell is just plain horrible the experience has taught me throughout the years not to take things for granted and be patient and work relentlessly for what i want to achieve and i ve made it this far however 2016 was a whole new ball game for me this year the traffic climbing up batu caves was cut by about 40 apparently there are some bomb threats and probably because it was a long weekend also therefore people took to climbing on different days on a normal thaipusam day climbing up 242 steps takes a lot of patience you take step by step as it s just like an almost non moving traffic jam this year it was slow moving traffic now this meant that it was moving but you almost cannot stop because if you do you cause a human crawl behind you so what do you do you force yourself to climb and climb until you make it to the top in about 15 minutes i made it up and have lost every bit of stamina i have left in my body i was feeling like how an unfit person felt this to me was something to blog about because i take every experience i have as a lesson from the almighty this thaipusam i learnt that moving too fast might not be the best thing ever and i realise for the past 6 years my life is as such at work and even at home i ve been bulldozing forward hungry for success i now realise that because of this i sometimes forget to rest forget to eat and forget to love my friends family and that s not cool by me as much as i love my work my talents i also love my friends my family and so 2016 will be a year i manage my time a little better build my team a bit better delegate more work and trust my team yes this would mean i make less money but hey i ve been telling all my talents all this while that the work we do is not just for the money we do it because we love it and that is what matters thank you for reading and if your life is moving too fast take a breather and think back what are your priorities in life are you headed in the right direction are you happy i hope this post brings you peace do share it with your friends or family who have been working so hard to make ends meet let them know that you appreciate what they are doing but it s ok to just take a breather sometimes that helps make things clearer melakaboy jan 2016 rate this posted in life as mr p 2 comments how i got f ed by versace pavillion jan 17 posted by melakaboy sometime last month some of you may have seen me whining on facebook about an incident i had with versace a brand i hold most dear to my heart but i think it s only fair i return the favour in writing for the emotional turbulence they had put me through sometime early january 2016 i decided to go clutch shopping after much looking i finally found something i really fancy at versace pavillion now i was really excited because versace was a brand that i really fancied bough my first versace jacket for liyana jasmay s wedding some 3 years ago followed by an awesome document bag a pair of versace shoes last year so imagine how excited i was when i saw a clutch that i really liked in versace i was practically glowing price tag read rm 2 050 00 and it was the last piece did not have to think for long decided what the heck need to make myself happy once in a while so i decided to get the clutch bag when i got to the payment counter the nice gentleman was kind enough to say hey you look familiar you re a blogger right ermmmm ok though i ve not been blogging for some time i obliged and said yes he smiled and continued to scan the tag and shortly after that said rm 2 450 00 please sir i was stunned i said wasn t it rm 2 050 00 a little while ago he continued to check the price tag and made some phone calls to some people he later came back and said he wasnt able to sell that bag to me as it appears that the italians might have increased the price omfg i swore at that point i wanted to just take pictures of everything and bashed versace on twitter instagram instead i remained calm i always believe everything happens for a reason but still my heart broke my love for versace suddenly hurt my heart so bad i walked away whined on facebook a little and decided now that i should return the heartbreak that versace caused me with a blogpost by law i believe that the outlet has to honor the price shown on the tag i could be wrong but hey sh happens moved on to make a trip down to jpo a week after while holidaying with my wife and daughter finally caught eyes on a beautiful toscani clutch if you re a fan of toscani their defect items go to jpo and you pay 70 less there for everything and so yes i ended up paying rm 400 00 for a clutch i saved rm 1 500 00 which i later on bought a new gucci wallet for rm 1 490 00 and that my friends is how versace pavillion f ed me for the good sake of their clients i think they...
