360Two\u2019s company as the saying goes. But, when it comes to Dama Asia Productions trio – Khor Seng Chew, Music Director; Gan Boon We, Finance Director and Pun Kai Loon, Artistic Director – a cord of three isn\u2019t easily broken. Therefore, being bestowed with the inaugural Brand Legend Awards (BLA)<\/em> 30 Years by Branding Association of Malaysia (BAM) is testimony to the staying power of the three directors.
\u201cWe feel very honoured to receive the prestigious award by BAM, and also to be recognised for the work that we do,\u201d said Khor.
\u201cThere could be nothing more special than this and being recognised for the work that we do,\u201d agreed Gan.<\/p>\n

Pun painted an imagery of working on an empty canvas and painting a picture on it to make it \u201cinteresting, engaging and captivating for the people who look at it\u201d. Once people see the canvas painting in terms of the music and the production, the most pleasant and enjoyable part to him is when they say this (the production) is so engaging, beautiful and captivating.
\u201cThat makes our day. So, it\u2019s always that challenge in terms of really trying to engage the audience in terms of what you want to share with them,\u201d he enthused.<\/p>\n

The award they agree, becomes very special in terms of recognising what they have painted on in terms of the canvas of music production. \u201cThe most interesting part of the job is that everything we start our work or production, it\u2019s an empty canvas and how do we create a canvas and leave a picture on the canvas. So here is the audience which is the challenging part,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n

The secret behind their enduring legacy can be summed in just three elements which the directors think work best for them. \u201cFirstly, it\u2019s our passion for the creative work that is generate in that frequency. Without that passion, I don\u2019t think it would work. The other aspect which is very important is our pursuit of excellence because if you don\u2019t have a certain level of passion in what you pursue, you are just going through the routine of work which has no meaning.\u201d<\/p>\n

The important part also is also to \u201calways strive to be relevant to the community because once you lose your relevance, people won\u2019t come to see the show and you won\u2019t have no meaning to them\u201d.<\/p>\n

Keeping Relevant In This Day & Age <\/strong><\/p>\n

Recognising the need to keep abreast with trends, they recognise the need to upgrade themselves continuously be it musically or exploring areas of work that they consider as artistically challenged in which they want to make good out of it.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe do a lot of research work and suss out from the public about their interest and what ticks for them which also has to \u2018tick for us\u2019. It\u2019s not just feeding what the community wants but we also think that we can overlap each other\u2019s interest so that it is relatable from an arts point of view, yet interesting and pioneering. And, from the audience\u2019s point of view, entertaining and engaging.<\/p>\n

As for advice to the younger entrepreneurs, if they want to do what they really want to do, \u201cunderstanding and knowing their market is very important because if you don\u2019t know or understand what your market is about, it would be very difficult to produce things that the market would want.<\/p>\n

Staying ahead of the trends, they concur that the AI issue is \u201cvery much of a staging issue\u201d. \u201cRight now, we have come out of the hibernation of the pandemic, so we are slowly going forward and this is definitely part of the work,\u201d he shared adding that in December, they will be doing another musical that will incorporate the visual of LED with all these scenes.<\/p>\n
