#0054 - BONGOMAN: How To Start A Music Festival

Nick Bong, AKA Bongomann, is the former resident DJ of “Headquarters” by The Council and is currently based at Offtrack Bar. He is also a key member of Ice Cream Sundays Collective, and recently had the privilege to play for the first-ever “Boiler Room” event in Singapore last year. In this episode, Bongomann tells us the beginnings of his DJing journey which began during his overseas university study in Australia. He also talks about being involved in Ice Cream Sundays Collective, and how they managed to throw a music festival at Sarimbun Scout Camp! (of all places!) Bongomann goes on to share his latest album: Lounge Zero, and label: “Super Enjoy”. He also weighs in his opinion on Singapore’s creative talent drain and whether the only way Singaporean Creatives can succeed is to move overseas (JJ Lin Effect).
