MACAU — In an exclusive interview with Philstar.com a few hours before his performance at the recently concluded Asia League Fest, singer-actor James Reid talked about changing perceptions toward Original Pilipino Music (OPM), and how he intends to do this through Careless Music Manila. Causing change on how an Asian talent is being perceived globally is one of the key objectives for putting together The Terrific 12, which was organized by Asia League along with Sports Bureau of Macao SAR Government. It will grow next year to be even bigger and better; more action on the court, an expanded Asia League Fest, and more parties surrounding the event,” said Matt Beyer, Asia League Chief Executive Officer. The kind of platform that Asia League Fest provides is to primarily showcase the best of Asian talent, and to open the gateway for local artists—up and coming or established—to be visible in the international market. And that night, as if it was made exactly for James and his crew, Careless Music Manila, was introduced to the world.
