Singapore music publication BigO shuts down after 38 years

SINGAPORE – Home-grown music publication BigO, which also covered film, pop culture and politics, is shutting down.

Known for championing made-in-Singapore indie and alternative music, the magazine printed news and features on home-grown artistes and lined up acts such as indie pioneers The Oddfellows on its covers. One of its more notable columnists was the late singer, songwriter, radio deejay and music critic Chris Ho, who died of stomach cancer in 2021.

Tan, who is co-editor, thanked the indie musicians and radio DJs who kept the music scene alive over the years, but lamented that the scene today is “probably more fractured than it ever was”.
