independent music to 3G Cell phones, Personal Media
Players, IPTV and Online Video networks. With an unwavering
focus on the vanguards of Asian Independent Music,
iamtv will embrace a wide variety of musical genres
and will unleash the music programming that cant
be found on MTV or other television channels. i-amtv
is aimed at a young discerning digitally savvy music
audience both inside and outside of Asia.
In the course of working with some of our other projects
such as Wildlight Channel and havoc Television, we
saw that while American and European Indie music was
very popular, there was a pent up demand for a pure
Asian Music
Channel, so we decided to launch i-amtv to address
this demand. , says Stephen McCormack, CEO of
Wildwave, We chose Music Kampany as a partner
because of their extensive experience in the Asian
music scene and their wide array of connections across
China, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Indonesia,
Thailand, Japan and Korea. Malaysia is a perfect base
for the Channel because of its strategic location
within Asia Pacific., adds Mr. McCormack.
The service will run both as a video-on-demand service
and as a continuous channel; and will provide a constantly
changing selection of the best cutting-edge Asian
indie music videos, complete with pictures and bios
of all the acts. i-amtv will also provide a full range
of real-tones, track downloads and wallpapers to compliment
the video service.
Genervie Kam, founder and CEO of Music Kampany will
head up Content Acquisition and Label & Act liaison
for the channel. Genervie, with her Bachelor of Music
in arranging, Fellowship of the Trinity College of
London for piano and Licentiate of the Trinity College
of London for violin, is also a much sought after
arranger and performer. She has local and International
recognition in the music business and has worked with
such artistes as Jacky Cheung, Stefanie Sun, Maksim,
Harvey Malaiholo, Jericho Rosales, Fong Fei Fei ,

We are delighted to launch i-amtv today

i-amtv globally, with the Best Independent Asian music
possible via all the channels that the modern audiences
require. We are dedicated to making i-amtv a trusted
brand in this space, she continues.
