Our TapSongz Team continues to search for the next top talent in the music industry. Whether it is a singer-songwriter, rapper or brand new DJ, we love finding high quality new music. We recently came across a talented composer, Gregory Tan, and had the opportunity to interview the young musician regarding his latest music releases and plans for the future!
Tan, originally from Singapore, grew up loving music. "I resided in Melbourne, Australia, for three years to complete my undergraduate studies. It was during my time there that I decided to pursue music composing as a career." Tan loved listening to classical music with violin and guitar growing up, having a large influence on his music today. "I was heavily influenced by classical composers and bands like Ozzy Osbourne and Deep Purple. When I went into cinematic orchestral composition, I fell in love with music written by Two Steps From Hell," Gregory told our TapSongz Team.
Fast forward to today and Tan is making strides with his music. "The latest project is entitled 'Sky Threader's Journey'. It is a series of epic orchestral compositions and it was a project that I worked on entirely by myself from my little home studio. This includes the composition right to the mastering phase. I guess this project serves as a milestone project. It was something I was sitting on for a long time," Tan said.
One such song that takes listeners on a journey is "Legacy of Hope", a beautifully put together track that truly displays Tan's potential as an artist. The soft and melodic track will have your mind wandering as you following each and every small detail that Gregory pieces together in the song. "I wanted to make each track on the project memorable. 'Legacy of Hope' was written with such a desire in mind. I wanted the song to be melodious, memorable, thematic and distinct. I wanted it to tell a story and stand on its own as opposed to writing it purely for multimedia users," Tan told our TapSongz Team. We think he accomplished exactly that; a song that has so much character and is so unique, yet easy to listen to.
As for the future, Tan has high hopes to continue to share his music and do what he loves. "I would like to continue down this road and work with more music publishers along the way. While I am not limited to composing epic orchestral music, it is honestly where my heart is," Gregory said. "Epic music inspires in a certain way that no other genre of music does. This is why so many 'motivational speech' videos are used in the genre," he added.
Our TapSongz Team can't wait to hear more fresh new music from Gregory in the near future! Support the rising artist by following him on social media and checking out his latest music on SoundCloud! There is no doubt that Tan has what it takes to succeed in the music industry as he has a great deal of potential.
