December 13, 2023

THE RHYTHM OF MUSICAL INNOVATION

          The resounding success of the annual Anugerah MACP on 10 December, 2023, reverberated in the air, creating a vibrant celebration akin to a glittering disco ball. The event, immersed in the nostalgic vibes of 70’s and 80’s Disco, shimmered with enthusiasm for both the past and future. It was a special evening dedicated to honouring the exceptional talents of MACP members, including songwriters, composers, and publishers, showcasing their creative brilliance in the dynamic world of music.

          The Anugerah MACP 2023 event was a spectacle of musical excellence, featuring a splendid line-up of 12 awards, each emblematic of mastery in diverse musical realms. From recognising songs with the most performances to honouring the prowess of both established and emerging composers, the night celebrated the rich diversity and exceptional talent that MACP members contribute to the music industry. Among the distinguished winners in various categories were Dato’ M Nasir with ‘Tiara’ for Malay Song with Most Performances, Firdhaus with ‘A La Si Jia Hai Wan’ for Chinese Song with Most Performances, Krish K with ‘Perak Kulle’ for Tamil Song with Most Performances, and Kangen Band with ‘Cinta Sampai Mati’ for Foreign Song with Most Performances.

          In a poignant moment, the Anugerah Nadi Cipta took center stage, an award crafted to pay homage to iconic composers who have significantly shaped the music industry. The late JS Kevin was posthumously honored with this prestigious accolade, a heartfelt occasion witnessed as his wife and family graciously accepted the award on his behalf. This emotional tribute stands as a fitting recognition of a composer whose enduring work continues to strike a chord across generations.

          Celebrating the future of music, the Komposer Muda Berpotensi award recognised Reedzwan, a rising star whose compositions have captivated audiences nationwide. This acknowledgment not only underscores the talent of the young composer but also serves as an inspiration for aspiring musicians to follow their passion.

    

           In tune with the digital age, Anugerah MACP welcomed a new category — the Best Composer on TikTok. This addition, presented by Sam Wong, the Head of Music Licensing and Partnership APAC from ByteDance, aimed to recognise and applaud the creativity of emerging writers on the popular platform. As the world embraces new avenues for musical expression, this award signifies the industry’s adaptability and commitment to staying current.

          Anugerah MACP 2023 was not just an award ceremony; it was a celebration of the ever-evolving landscape of music. The Disco theme added a vibrant touch to the event, infusing the atmosphere with an electrifying energy that mirrored the dynamism of the music industry itself.

          As the curtains closed on Anugerah MACP 2023, the glittering disco ball of success continued to spin in the hearts and minds of all those who attended. The event not only recognised past achievements but also fueled the spirit of creativity and innovation, ensuring that the MACP community continues to shape the musical landscape of the future.
