We see this not just as a trend but as a powerful vehicle to showcase our regional identity in new and compelling ways, alongside the diverse spectrum of local music we continue to champion.” </p><div style="text-align:justify"><br/></div><p style="text-align:justify">Curated with local, regional, and international audiences in mind, <strong><u>AXEAN Festival’s</u></strong> artist selection process places strong emphasis on professionalism, live performance impact, and artistic vision.</p><div style="text-align:justify"><br/></div><p style="text-align:justify"><strong><u>Piyapong </u></strong>explains, “Export-ready is a core principle in how we curate artists for <strong>AXEAN</strong>. But that doesn’t mean simply choosing artists who are already popular abroad or those who sing in flawless English. It’s about selecting artists who are professionally prepared to navigate today’s global music industry—artistically, logistically, and mentally. I believe genres are never a barrier if you can find the right market, the right niche, the right community that truly connects with your sound. Ultimately, what determines international success is how you work, how you connect, and how you continue to grow creatively.”</p><div style="text-align:justify"><br/></div><p style="text-align:justify">In line with its artist-first philosophy, <strong><u>AXEAN Festival 202</u></strong>5 will feature its signature <strong>Music Conference </strong>and <strong>Songwriting Camp</strong>, both designed to create meaningful opportunities for cross-border dialogue, collaboration, and industry partnership. The conference includes curated panel discussions, business matchmaking, and structured networking between regional and international delegates. The four-day songwriting camp, hosted in the lead-up to the main festival, invites selected artists and producers to co-create in a collaborative, cross-cultural environment.</p><div style="text-align:justify"><br/></div><p style="text-align:justify">Presented in partnership with <strong><u>Jimbaran Hub</u></strong>, this year’s festival is set to offer a vibrant, inclusive, and future-facing platform for Southeast Asia’s music and creative ecosystems.</p><div style="text-align:justify"><br/></div><p style="text-align:justify"><strong><u>Tunecore</u></strong>, one of the world’s digital music aggregators, also supports <strong><u>AXEAN Festiva</u></strong>l as a stage sponsor. “Our 5-year journey with AXEAN, including 3 years as stage sponsors, stems from a shared commitment: empowering Southeast Asian artists to reach global audiences,” Head of Tunecore Southeast Asia (SEA) Cyrus Chen shares. “AXEAN’s ‘export-ready’ curation philosophy mirrors TuneCore’s mission—providing the tools and platforms for artists to thrive beyond borders. This festival doesn’t just showcase talent; it builds careers, and that’s why we’re all in.” </p><div style="text-align:justify"><br/></div><p style="text-align:justify">Early bird tickets are now available via <a href="http://www.loket.com/o/axeanfestival." rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong><u>www.loket.com/o/axeanfestival.</u></strong></a> The full lineup and conference details will be announced soon.</p>
