It almost sounds too good to be true, but the fact is Youth Entrepreneur of Malaysia is set to rock the world of many young aspiring entrepreneurs. Yes, the Youth Entrepreneur Malaysia is supporting Voize in its upcoming VIMA 2010, an Independent Music Awards. Founded about a year and a half ago, the Youth Entrepreneur Malaysia (YEM) provides different levels of ground in which it engages youths to start rebranding themselves via enterprising activities. YEM targets youths through their casual, voluntary approach.
In conjunction with VIMA 2010, YEM is set to collaborate with Voize in bridging local musical talents together. The collaboration is seen as a platform for established and not to forget aspiring music talents to market themselves better. It is a unique angle where music and entrepreneurship can fall into the same category. Michael Teoh, the Co-Founder of YEM states that VIMA is a perfect ground for youths to extend their ability and market themselves. One fine example of youth entrepreneurship is through independent music, added Teoh.
Not only that, VIMA is seen as the perfect platform to turn unexplored talents into something big and well-known. Of course, through YEM students especially, will be given the opportunity to express themselves better. It all boils down to a self-discovery mechanism.
Instead of promoting new talents through endless roadshows and airplays, useful platforms like VIMA and YEM are perfect example for youths to be heard. While Malaysia lacks the financial backing to promote new talents, what could be better if we are to use social networking sites such as Facebook and YouTube to promote local talents? Many international indie talents started out by posting videos of themselves singing on the internet.
Hopefully through events like VIMA and YEM, youths, students, and aspiring entrepreneurs and basically just about anyone can feel at ease at expressing themselves and breaking common barriers in which business is strictly for the adults. With efforts and hope anyone can make it. It all depends upon how one markets oneself for the world to see.
