In the comments section of some songs she has released online, netizens would express their surprise that it was not by an international artiste, shared Ms Shareefa.
“That’s great (and) I’m really glad they liked it. But also, why does it have to be international for it to be good?”
Ms Shareefa said she will continue to put out more music as she works towards her goal of becoming a household name one day.
BUILDING A CULTURE
Local radio stations could also play their part by featuring more local musicians in their playlists, said jazz veteran Jeremy Monteiro, who is dubbed Singapore’s very own “King of Swing”.
Mr Monteiro, who earned the Cultural Medallion – the highest national honour an artiste can receive – back in 2002, added that there should be more live music around the island, no matter the genre.
“Let’s have more live music, whether it’s folk music, classical music, or even guitar guys singing in cafes and pubs. It doesn’t even have to be places that sell alcohol,” he said.
