The Malaysian entertainment scene needs a new rethinking and inertia. For the last many years, local artistes find it almost next to impossible to make a decent living in the industry.
Malay entertainment industry may be more sustainable compared to the rest due to a larger market but many of the artistes do not have staying power. Groups and individuals come and go as quickly as ocean tide. How many Malay artistes are able to create a mass appeal for their music? How many of them can claim to be a popular regional artiste?
Chinese artistes eking out locally find it difficult to break into the regional music scene. Many of them became successful only after they had taken their career to Hong Kong, China or Taiwan.
There is a need to revamp and rethink of a new strategy to revive the local music industry. KL wants to become a regional and an international city. An international city needs a creative industry.
Musicians, artistes, artistes management companies, promoters and recording labels need to come together to work out a new solution.
Malaysia can become a music/entertainment hub if we can embrace change.
GFW is keen to work with local artistes, management companies and record labels to regenerate the local entertainment scene.
Contact us now! We would like to hear from you.

很期待！ 筹备了1年的R16 Bboy Championship终于来到了马来西亚！我想每个Bboy也和我一样期望踏上这个舞台和拥有同样兴趣及爱好的朋友一较高底。请别误会，我并没有资格比拼但是我会是每个成功享受这个舞台的舞者后的成功女人！
如果你不熟悉R16 Bboy，我并不惊讶毕竟这个爱好（可以这样形容吗？）或舞蹈文化近年来才逐渐被转型，演变成了国际年轻舞者的新玩意儿。近年来真正保持Bboy舞蹈文化的较劲舞台只有5个吧！当然其中一个就是R16 Bboy Championship，其他的包括UK Bboy Championship, IBE, BOTY & Freestyle Session。
看看我贴上的短片吧。一个没有国界，肤色及语言之分的舞台，让全球年轻热血的舞者透过肢体语言发挥友情，团结及和平的讯息！所以不要再以为Bboy 只是一个街头游戏。
马来西亚的朋友们，快来和我们一起加油！今天就游览www.r16seasia.com下载报名表格吧！截至日期为17th April 2010.
仅有一场的马来西亚竞选赛将在24 April 2010, 1300-1800,Berjaya Times Square LG Floor Concourse进行. 由来自国外评审评选首两组代表马来西亚进入竞选 R16 Southeast Asia Final。
R16 Southeast Asia Final将召集泰国，越南，新加坡及马来西亚的首两对在马上演一场好戏！在8对Bboy 的竞选的过程中，我们可以想像多么激情及享受那一刻！而成功脱颖而出的唯一队伍将代表Southeast Asia到韩国竞选全球R16 Bboy Championship 2010!
还等什么？快报名啊！www.r16seasia.com
该玩意儿是由Korea Tourism Org及LG Electronics (M) Sdn Bhd呈现赞助，由GF World负责筹备。同时获得8TV的极力宣传配合，所以不要错过即将播映的最新消息及大赛后的转播。亦勿忘在15/5/2010,7-11pm, KL Live Centre的精湛比赛咯！

Penny Tai - A Real Talent
10 years wait is finally over for Penny Tai, a Malaysian born but Taiwan-based singer/composer. Her maiden concert in Arena of Stars, Genting Highlands was presented by Magnum and organised by CMG.
GlamBrands joined more than 5k audience to enjoy Penny live! Our hope is to see top Malaysian artistes coming together to promote M-Pop in 2010.
3 Goodmen Concert
Sharing the stage together for the first time ever, Phil Chang (张宇), Bobby Chen (陈升) and Huang Pin Yuan (黄品源) present “3 Good Men in Concert” (三个好男人唱好情歌演唱会).
Individually known for their broad repertoire of Karaoke friendly hits, singing prowess and wits, “3 Good Men in Concert” performed to fans in Hong Kong earlier this year.
Witness the showbiz veterans pit their skills against each other as they present their hits such as “用心良苦” (Yong Xin Liang Ku), “把悲伤留给自己” (Ba Bei Shang Liu Gei Zi Ji), “你怎么舍得我难过” (Ni Zen Me She De Wo Nan Guo), “一言难尽” (Yi Yan Nan Jin), “恨情歌” (Hen Qing Ge), “小薇” (Xiao Wei) and more.
GlamBrands was invited to attend the press conference. It was obvious that the 3 goodmen enjoyed very good camaraderie. Phil, Bobby and Huan have requested the audience to treat it as a party instead of a concert.
They continued to poke fun on each other. It should be a night to remember and yes, to party.

This is why you should go to watch her sing live! Penny is a lovely song bird, a Malaysian pride.
Penny Tai 戴佩妮 Live Concert
Malaysian singer song-writer Penny Tai 戴佩妮 will be back to her home country,Malaysia this January. Despite being active in the industry for almost a decade, no one would have thought the petite Penny to be 31 years of age.
With 7 studio albums already, Penny started song-writing at the age of 17 and pens each and every single song in her albums herself. She will be performing her concert at Arena of Stars Genting Highlands,16th of January 2010
Born in Johore to a Hakka family, the platform which launched her career came from the Halo Song-writing Contest in Kuala Lumpur back in the late 90s. And in 1999, EMI Music (Taiwan) offered her a recording contract and moved her to Taiwan to pursue a career in singing and song-writing.
The rest, as they say is history. Her first album, the self-titled “Penny” was released in January 2000 and with that she was hailed as the next big thing in the music industry. Her career reached a pinnacle in 2006 when she won the Best Composer award at the Golden Melody Awards for the song “Crazy Love” – the title track to her 2005 hit album.
Now Penny will be performing at the Arena of Stars this on 16th of January 2010. Be there to catch her live and be entertained by hits like How’s That, Love After, The Love That You Want and Crazy Love.

Rehearsal night for Dongli HuocheIt was a successful countdown party @ Queensbay Mall. The organisers and sponsors would like to thank you for being so enthusiastic and warm.
The artistes thoroughly enjoyed performing in front of a huge and supportive audience. At the end of the night, many of us were asking for more. When time passes so quickly, it is usually a good sign.
On the new year's eve night, we were sure that you had enjoyed yourself.
GFW and partners would like to wish you a Happy New Year! Hope to see you in our next events.
