The Malaysian music industry is not exempted from the rise of opportunities and trends in the international music scene. The International Federation of the Phonographic Industry observed that from just 2008 to 2012, there was a rapid growth of 17% in digital music revenues, stemming largely from sale of music through mobile devices.

The importance of music, socially, culturally and economically, is more prominent today than ever before. For instance, recent studies by the American Association for the Advancement of Science have shown that music can enhance the process of educating young children in fields like math and reading, while facilitating the growth of their emotional and intellectual skills.

Music is also noted to influence both adults and children in a positive manner, according to these studies.
