SYDNEY, July 20, 2023 Fresh from a resounding success in London earlier this month, the global traveling music festival 1MX is set to delight thousands more as it moves from Europe to North America (September 10, Budweiser Stage, Toronto) and to Asia-Pacific.
Come October 8, Sunday, 1MX will bring the unique Asian fusion music experience to The Hordern Pavilion in Moore Park, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. The venue is simply known as The Hordern to the locals. Opened in 1924 as an exhibition hall for the display of futuristic technology, The Hordern is one of Sydney’s favorite entertainment settings. It has hosted a wide and diverse range of acts from the likes of Frank Sinatra to The Bee Gees to Queen to Coldplay to Justin Timberlake to boxing matches to Mardi Gras and more.
For 1MX in Sydney, The Hordern will be the venue of a historic gathering of seven acts from among today’s best of Asian fusion music. This fast-growing music festival has curated a veritable 7-concerts-in-1 event that will showcase the following stellar talents:
William Singe – A leading light in Australia’s burgeoning music scene, William first attracted attention by taking third place on Australia’s X-Factor as part of a group formed by the show’s producers. He quickly used this newfound success as a springboard for his solo career.
Several acclaimed covers, original releases, a successful collaboration, “Mama”, with UK producer Jonas Blue and world tours followed, eventually leading to William relocating to Los Angeles to take his career to new levels in 2017.
Following the global pandemic, William’s newest music shows a maturing artist realizing the power of his voice through a sense of introspection and personal connection. Inspired by a rapidly changing world and his own experience in life as a young Australian-Maori, he is poised to be a vital voice in R&B for years to come.
William released last week his latest single, the danceable tune with a hot summer vibe, “Have to Be”.
