The music scene is more than what you see onstage and in music videos. There's an entire backbone that keeps it running from behind the scenes, and if that's something you've been curious about, now is the time to acquaint yourself with a whole other world.

Sonik Philippines, the country's first Philippine-centric music and business conference, is a 2-day event that will shed light on the cogs that run the music scene from the head honchos of record labels, show producers, to music journalists—including Offshore Records' Ely Buendia, A Spur of the Moment Project's Li Perez, Karpos Multimedia's John Uy, IVOS Productions' Allan Silonga, and Bandwagon's Clarence Chan. It aims to elevate the craft and create a unified Filipino music community.

The 2-day program takes place at The Eye, Green Sun in Makati City on October 4-5 and will also feature live performances by Ben&Ben, Any Name's Okay, Bawal Clan, Ena Mori, Jason Dhakal, LUSTBASS, Nathan & Mercury, Syd Hartha, The Diegos, Ysanygo, and more.

Tickets are available here for PHP 5,000 (2-Day Pass), PHP 2,500 (1-Day Pass), PHP 600 (Festival Pass), PHP 6,000 (2-Day Pass + Festival Pass), and PHP 1,500 (1-Day Pass + Festival Pass). RSVP here.
