Program Overview
Why It Matters
Even as global fandom grows, Asian Pacific artists, especially those outside of the K-pop genre, remain underrepresented in the music industry and on mainstream U.S. charts – highlighting the need for stronger industry infrastructure and investment to support emerging talent.
Program Impact
Building on the momentum of Gold House’s broader artist development platform, the East West Bank Gold Music Lab will provide select artists with support from Gold House and industry partners at pivotal career moments – from debut releases to headline tours – designed to break through and break out.
“Supporting the creative economy has long been central to East West Bank’s commitment to creating pathways for growth and opportunity. Through the East West Bank Gold Music Lab, we are proud to invest in emerging Asian Pacific artists by providing the resources, connections, and visibility they need to help them reach further,” said Dominic Ng, Chairman and CEO of East West Bank.
