Inspired by Asian Pop Weekly founder Jocelle’s experience as a third culture kid and Asian Pop Weekly’s nomadic philosophy towards music, the show will play music from across Asia and the world; anything that inspires us to keep championing for a world without musical borders. The name ‘Everywhere and Nowhere’ is derived from a quote by Maya Angelou which reads: “You only are free when you realise you belong no place – you belong every place – no place at all” Of the inspiration behind the show’s theme and name, Jocelle says: “I feel as a third culture kid who has experienced life in many places around the world, I’ve been everywhere but also belong nowhere. Likewise, my musical taste feels like a tasting platter of ‘everywhere’ – yet I’m nowhere near to scratching the surface of many of the sounds I’ve unearthed. However I’ve learnt to take pride in being both ‘Everywhere and Nowhere’- and I hope this show continues to be an extension of this attitude to anyone who feels the same way.”
