Syaz Smooth, Universal Music Singapore's Youngest Signer

HELLO SYAZ, HOW HAS 2022 BEEN TREATING YOU?

So far, 2022 has been a blessing. Dreams of releasing my own single finally came true, made possible with support from beautiful and amazing people that surrounded me.

HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE THE YOUNGEST SIGNEE OF UNIVERSAL MUSIC SINGAPORE? DO YOU FEEL LIKE YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO PROVE?

It definitely feels great. I have to pinch myself each day in disbelief that I got signed on to Universal Music Singapore. It has always been my childhood dream. There's nothing that I feel I have to prove because I am supported by a great team to guide me along my journey though it's a great learning curve in the process!

IN THE DECADE THAT YOU'VE BEEN DOING MUSIC - ESPECIALLY SINCE YOU ARE 16 YEARS OLD-HOW DO YOU THINK YOU HAVE EVOLVED? HOW DO YOU SEE YOURSELF EVOLVING THEN IN THE NEXT DECADE?
