The participation of regulators, record companies and artists will help promote the development of the capital's music and cultural industries.
Beginning in 2023, Monsoon Music Festival will launch an art promotion fund called Inspire Your Next to introduce quality music products by famous Vietnamese and international artists and present potential young artists to the Vietnamese public.
Through the Inspire Your Next Fund, selected artists will have the opportunity to participate in short-term training programs and professional development workshops. The organizing committee will help them connect with record labels, media regulators and production organizations.
For a long time, the Monsoon Music Festival has become one of the prestigious brands contributing to the promotion of Vietnam's music industry to become more professional, creating conditions for Vietnamese artists to have opportunities to exchange and collaborate with international artists.
