Lauretta Alabons

if Lauretta Alabons did not hang up her microphone, the Singapore concert scene might not be as vibrant as it is today.

From being a prime-time fixture as a TV show host and radio DJ in the 90s, the 46-year-old has gone behind the scenes and turned into one of the busiest concert promoters in town, organising shows by big international music acts and stand-up comedians.

In the last 12 months, LAMC Productions - which she runs with her husband Ross Knudson - has rocked Singapore with gigs by Morrissey, Scorpions and Weezer, just to name a few.
