Introducing Spotify for Artist Masterclass
Spotify will power a key educational component of the program through a Spotify for Artists Masterclass led by the Spotify Asia team. Designed as a practical session for artists and music stakeholders, the masterclass reflects a shared belief between AOTN and Spotify: that artists should be equipped not only to make great work, but to better understand how to build sustainable careers around it.
For this edition, Spotify will offer the Beginner Session of its Spotify for Artists Masterclass to select artists and industry professionals. The session will introduce artists to the essential tools, insights, and platform knowledge they need to strengthen their presence on Spotify, promote their music more effectively, better understand audience behavior, and navigate the wider music streaming landscape with more clarity and confidence. The inclusion of this session reinforces AOTN’s broader commitment to going beyond live performance by creating space for artist development, education, and long-term career support. It also brings direct value to emerging and developing artists in attendance by connecting them with practical, platform-level knowledge from one of the world’s leading music streaming services.
Studio Sessions: Creative Songwriting
Programmed by The Rest Is Noise PH, this curated studio sessions bring Filipino songwriters and producers together with international guest performers to co-create original music as part of the All Of The Noise Music Creatives Program.
Designed to spark creative collaboration and cross-cultural exchange, each session supports idea-sharing, hands-on writing, and composition—resulting in newly written songs born from shared process and perspectives. This inaugural session will feature Tim and Sam Marquez from One Click Straight, sought-after producers behind some of the most forward-thinking and exciting pop and indie rock music, and Our Shame, a Taiwanese alternative pop band, with guidance from DJ Joey Santos of Love One Another Sound Production. The Studio Sessions will also pair rising Filipino R&B artist kyleaux with acclaimed Taiwanese hip-hop artist HengJones, with CHEKE’s Justin Wieneke facilitating the collab.
