Through this campaign, we hope to discover, hone and promote Asean’s next big musical sensation and to make a difference in their lives. I can think of no better mentor for this task than my good friend David Foster, who knows a thing or two about making hits.”Most recently, AirAsia inked a deal with mixed martial arts organisation UFC to serve as the global brands first-ever “Official Airline” sponsor.
