Music to their ears

The Sessions live-stream platform has attracted singers from all over the globe. The site allows singers to gain monetary rewards as they climb up the ranks.

With the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic and movement control order still affecting the pub music scene, many Malaysian musicians have turned to live-streaming to get back in the game.

Platforms such as YouTube and Facebook Live allow them to stream from their home studio set-up, equipped with a camera or webcam and lighting, to generate a modest income through fan contributions transferred via e-wallets or online payment links.
