S2S was founded and established in Singapore on October 1997 as an artiste management and production house – S2S Pte Ltd. In 1997, S2S Inc, Japan was set up as a distribution, artiste management and publishing company in Japan, Tokyo. S2S Pte Ltd is chosen as the head office for all business functions such as the duties of communication, liaising and licensing on the behalf of S2S Inc, Japan. S2S Pte Ltd also spearheads the company’s business model and intends to expand into Southeast Asia and other territories.
The founder
Late Ken Kazunari Suzuki was one of the co founders of Avex Trax, which is one of the most successful independent record labels in Japan right now. One might ask ‘Why the shift from Japan to Singapore’? The reason is because Singapore was chosen due to her stable political situation, robust economy and excellent infrastructure. Such stability at hand breeds the need and opportunity for entertainment to flourish. Singapore was especially chosen as the headquarters because of her multiracial composition as well.
 
Talent management
As an artiste management/production house and publishing company, S2S Pte Ltd and S2S Inc has signed several promising and talented artistes both in Japan and Singapore to groom them into stars. As the company has a close working relationship with several major record labels in Japan our pool of talented artistes have collaborated with many well- known producers and musicians in that territory. Hence, through our strong presence and business relations in Japan, our artistes have their songs released on singles, albums and compilations that are distributed by major distributors and retailers.
 
Our Vision
Our vision at S2S is to provide entertainment that can be enjoyed by all and sundry. We strive to promote cultural exchange via music. S2S aims to license different genres of good music from overseas independent labels and distribute their music or catalogues in Japan, Singapore and hopefully to the rest of Asia. To facilitate our distribution, S2S has close working relationships with several heavyweight chain retail shops and independent distributors in Japan. [Examples are HMV, Tower Records, Shinsedo, WAVE, etc.]
Beginning in April 2006, our products will be distributed exclusively by AVEX covering the entire market of Japan. This will definitely boost the sales by leaps and bounds without a doubt. We are also planning to make inroads to fancy lifestyles shops to sell our products.S2S has set its sights on bringing good music into the Asian market to be appreciated and enjoyed by discerning listeners.
In the near future, we aim to provide a series of lifestyle products to incorporate with or CD releases as we strive to be pioneers and leaders of the highly competitive music industry by serving the diverse lifestyle of individuals. We are also working on DVD concepts for our CD releases in the coming months.
Where others have tried and failed, S2S continues to grow and expand rapidly in the region with its high quality products. This proves the fact that our business model as an independent record company is effective and we need not adopt or conform to the same core values as compared to a major recording company in order to succeed.
The drive and motivation behind S2S is simply to release great music for discerning listeners in the market and if massive commercial success comes our way, we are sure to pass on the love for music back to the market.
Well as our tagline goes, we send the love and dedication by ensuring that it is ‘Music Most Suited To Your Lifestyle…’

Sense Music Store was set up as an online retailer arm of S2S & Sense Corporation.

Los Angeles singer-songwriter Rory Sullivan, has received abundant acclaim from everyone from country music star Sara Evans to Grammy Winner/Windham Hill Records Founder Will Ackerman. Sullivan took the grand prize for the CD Baby and Sarah Evans songwriting competitions in 2013 and 2nd place in the recent Indie International Songwriting Contest.

Since quitting his day job at The Post House Diner back in 2005, Rory hit the pavement and has played over 550 clubs, colleges and festivals, opened for acts Stephane Wrembel, Luke Brindley, James Maddock, Eric Andersen, Royal Southern Brotherhood, Craig Bickhardt, Mutlu, Todd Carey, Curtis Peoples, and many others. His songs have been featured on a compilation album with Emmylou Harris, John Oates, Neko Case, Cyndi Lauper, and Shelby Lynne to benefit animal awareness, and he has seen steady airplay on NPR, satellite, internet, and college radio.

His song “Better Now” was featured in the powerful documentary film series, “Finding Seoul”, which was co-written with filmmaker, John Sanvidge. Tim Westergren of Pandora Radio says, “Rory’s music represents a particular part of our catalogue, independent artists who are getting a lot of exposure.”

Sullivan spent the majority of 2014 in preparation for his Kickstarter campaign, entitled ‘The Fan Project’, which was successfully funded on May 1st raising almost $14,000. ‘The Fan Project’ consisted of Rory writing, recording, and releasing 2 songs a week to the backers of the campaign, in which pledgers would then vote on their favorite 7 of the 14 songs sent to them. The songs will appear on the new album in the fall of 2014.

His debut EP “Here All Along”, produced by Grammy Winning Producer Will Ackerman, features Sullivan’s acoustic roots and songwriting and features an all-star lineup of musicians, including T-Bone Wolk (Hall and Oates, Carly Simon), Steve Holley (McCartney and Wings/Elton John), and Eugene Friesen (Berklee School of Music). His latest studio release “Rory Sullivan and the Second Season” produced by Justin King in Brooklyn NY, features his music with full band production and NYC backing band, “The Second Season”.

In pursuit of his career, Sullivan relocated from his hometown of Newark, Delaware to NYC in 2011 and then again to Chicago in the Fall of 2012 to begin the next phase of his artistic journey. These past few years Rory has taken home four grand prize songwriting awards, including the CD Baby Songwriting Contest, which ranked over 3,000 songs winning him over $10,000 in prizes, including a flight to NYC for a recording session. He also won grand prize for the Sara Evans Songwriting Competition, awarding him a Facebook feature on Sara’s page, thousands of dollars worth of prizes, and a message from Sara herself. “I’m always drawn to songs with amazing lyrics, songs that really make you feel emotion or you feel like you’re right there in the middle of it. “Ride The Rails” by Rory Sullivan really struck me the first time I heard it.”, said the country music singer.

I was born into a musical family with both parents playing in a local dance band. My father played drums and trumpet, never together though, and my mother played Guitar, Piano, Piano Accordian, Harmonica and the list went on. 

I have been writing songs for as long as I can remember and in my late teens, after signing up for 10 years with the Australian Army, I met up with mates Brad and Dick who inspired me to pursue my writing further. 

I have many and varied musical influences with the Gilbert O'Sullivan, America, The Beatles, The Eagles and Neil Diamond at the top of my list. I write songs, some folk think I do ok, while others are probably too kind to tell me what they really think, but no matter what I still love writing songs and producing demos.

It's an honour to have you give a listen and please let me know what you think? 

Alan.
