The popularity of world-famous singers such as Stefanie Sun and JJ Lin illustrates Singaporeans’ pride in homegrown artists who make waves globally.<\/span><\/p>\n Yet, as a society, many still tend to stereotype those who wish to pursue a music career. A common stereotype is: \u201cMusic is just a hobby, not a career path.\u201d So, what\u2019s the truth behind pursuing a career in the local music industry? I spoke to Regina Song, a 20-year-old singer-songwriter, to find out more about her experience. <\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/hypesingapore.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Snapinsta.app_403865680_1526534744828148_5260189843891704334_n_1080.jpg” alt=”regina song” title_text=”regina song” force_fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” min_height=”427.9px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ text_font=”Montreal Medium||||||||” text_text_color=”#000000″ transform_scale_tablet=”” transform_scale_phone=”” transform_scale_last_edited=”on|desktop” transform_translate=”0px|-22px” transform_translate_tablet=”” transform_translate_phone=”” transform_translate_last_edited=”on|desktop” transform_translate_linked=”off” transform_rotate_tablet=”” transform_rotate_phone=”” transform_rotate_last_edited=”on|desktop” transform_skew_tablet=”” transform_skew_phone=”” transform_skew_last_edited=”on|desktop” transform_origin_tablet=”” transform_origin_phone=”” transform_origin_last_edited=”on|desktop” transform_styles_last_edited=”on|desktop” custom_margin=”31px||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”||||false|false” text_font_size_tablet=”” text_font_size_phone=”14px” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” transform_styles_tablet=”” transform_styles_phone=”” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Most of Regina\u2019s songs are written based on her experiences. Her single \u2018Venus<\/a>\u2019 was about a crush she had on a boy. <\/span>Photo taken from <\/span>@sleepyreggy<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”Montreal Medium||||||||” text_font_size=”16px” inline_fonts=”Montreal Medium” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Regina is one of the artists under the Singaporean record label, <\/span>PARKA<\/span><\/a>. Her first single with the label, \u201c<\/span>high school boy<\/span><\/a>\u201d became a TikTok viral hit with over a million streams on Spotify. With her dazzling personality and talent for writing lyrics, Regina quickly gained a young fanbase. The rising artist has 126K monthly listeners and over two million streams on <\/span>Spotify<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n Regina grew up in a Singaporean-Chinese family and started learning music at the early age of six, picking up the piano. \u201cI was always more drawn to the arts as a kid. I remember watching a lot of music videos on my laptop,\u201d she said. With her love for playing instruments, singing, and dancing, Regina enrolled in School of the Arts Singapore (SOTA), majoring in classical piano. In an artistic environment surrounded by talented peers, SOTA was where Regina grew a stronger interest in music as she honed her musical skills. <\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_code _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” module_alignment=”center” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
