Founded in 2019 by Homonym and the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA), SONIK Philippines has devoted itself to furthering growth of the country’s music industry.

Particularly, as OPM continues to flourish with an onslaught of music releases, concerts, and festivals year-round, SONIK Philippines sees that the next step in developing the country’s music scene is expanding its borders.

Through its music conference and showcase festival, SONIK Philippines has persisted in its aim of establishing a network of local and international artists, managers, producers, and other music stakeholders, where each member can benefit and learn from one another.
