Following a pre-listening party (#SezairiPreLP) on Twitter in the previous week, Singapore idol Sezairi (@Sezairi) will be performing live (#SezairiLive) on Twitter, Periscope and at Twitter’s Asia Pacific headquarters this week.

“Music is one of the most widely discussed topics on Twitter in Singapore and around the world. We’re happy to work with our global music partners like Sony Music on supporting local acts and Sezairi is a great choice for our first Singaporean music partnership. He’s very good at using Twitter to show his personality and to connect with his fans in the moment, such as when he live-Tweeted a taxi driver listening to his new song,” said Pratiksha Rao, Head of Media Partnerships, Twitter Southeast Asia.

She added, “We’re excited to do more in the local music scene and our work with Sezairi is a great example of how Twitter and Periscope give artists a global stage to engage in real-time with passionate music lovers, as well as enable fans to interact with their favourite music stars through Tweets, photos and live video.”

Sezairi’s fans in Singapore and around the world can see behind-the-scenes action and live content from the show by following @Sezairi and @SonyMusicSG official Twitter and Periscope accounts or searching for the #SezairiLive hashtag on Twitter and Periscope.
