Budd commented: “We are delighted to be cooperating with an innovative music company like Modern Sky.They have an important influence in China and the international market. I am looking forward to the next step of my work career.”
Pichilingi added: “The UK has some of the best music producers in the world, and this partnership between Modern Sky and Stephen Budd Music is the latest example of Modern Sky combining its reputation and influence in China with talent from leading western markets. The collaboration, alongside its label branches in the UK and US, bolsters Modern Sky’s truly international outlook.”
Commenting on the new Modern Sky Studio, Lihui Shen said: “If you look at the studio from a static point, this may not seem like a rational investment. But, looking to the future, we see this as the most fundamental aspect of the modern entertainment industry. As our lives get faster, it’s important that we remember to slow down and return to the content itself to ensure its quality.”
