IN the last episode for this season, our hosts sit down with industry stalwart and leader Datuk Freddie Fernandez.

With about 50 years in music and producing great local artists, does he think there is any hope for our local industry? After two years of Covid-19, the industry is at its lowest, and with many artists struggling to make ends meet, is there any chance of a revival at all?
