Hahn 306@http://www.musicianwages.com/forums/ <p>Sorry Andree-Ann, I don&#39;t know if anybody can help you. There&#39;s a big language barrier to getting into Asia I think. What you&#39;re looking for is an entertainment/talent agency in Japan (or whatever country). I bet if you kept google-ing you could find some leads. </p> <p>I would focus on Japan, Taiwan, Singapore, South Korea to start. I may be wrong, but those are the countries with the strongest ties to North America. I&#39;d start with Japan because the Yen is so strong and they already have things like Tokyo Disney.</p> <p>It&#39;s an interesting idea. I had some friends work at Tokyo Disney (speaking of) over the years and they say it was great. </p> http://www.musicianwages.com/forums/topic/asia-hotel-gigs#post-300 Fri, 25 Dec 2009 15:52:20 +0000 Andree-Ann 300@http://www.musicianwages.com/forums/ <p>Hey guys, </p> <p>I&#39;ve heard many times about the abundant possibilities of employment for musicians in asian hotels. My own piano teacher told me that he had that gig for a while when he started out, and lucked out because he knew the lady who was hiring for some hotels back in the day. How does it work now? Is there a specific agency I should address myself to? Any of you have taken that kind of job before and know how it works? </p> <p>Thanks! </p>
