Our story
With humble beginnings as a tiny studio located in the outskirts of Singapore, Grid Culture was founded with the intention of empowering aspiring electronic music-makers, through small private lessons, one student at a time. Syafiq Halid, Singapore’s first ever Ableton Certified Trainer, started his school with the belief that the non-classically trained were equally capable of musical prowess.
Having utilised Ableton Live as a producer and performer himself, Syafiq has seen how this tool challenges conventional music creation metods and was convinced that it was able to introduce a paradigm shift in what most people understand of music-making.
Today, the school stands as Singapore’s first ever Ableton Certified Training Centre and has seen many graduates emerge as independent self-made producers going on to create their own unique styles of music.
