CLUB QUATTRO x SMASH x SONY MUSIC presents
LAUNCH x Yellow Stage
SMASH, who has worked on numerous festivals and events, and the SD Group, the new discovery and development department of Sony Music, will create a place to meet new talents.
Under such a concept, it is also a place where performers can feel by standing on that club Quattro stage and share real opinions and impressions, and I want to make it a place to have a chance to approach the next stage waiting ahead!
