NADEEM Salam is a British Bangladeshi who has brought his American entertainment company to Malaysia, deciding to base it here to serve Asia. Datuk Kamil and Manvir sit down with this young entrepreneur to find out why he made this choice.
Over the course of this conversation, we learn how he managed tours for marquee acts like Megadeth and the Red Hot Chilli Peppers, as well as a difficult stint managing comedy shows before pivoting to music.
Nadeem and his company Skeesh Entertainment are currently organising the Rockiss RockOn Festival with bands such as Boys Like Girls, One Buck Short, local favourite Sekumpulan Orang Gila, and a surprise comeback by a huge name in Malaysian music. Who is it? Listen in to find out.
Nadeem shares his journey to setting up his business in Malaysia and we also find out how challenging it is to organise concerts here, as opposed to our neighbours in Singapore and Thailand.
Follow the pod if you want to keep abreast of these concerts and many more like it. To suggest ideas and comments, please tweet @manvirvictor. – The Vibes, October 6, 2022
