As Penang’s creative industry continues to gain more prominence, it is essential to recognise the unsung contributors working tirelessly to propel its growth. I spoke to four inspirational figures to unpack their stories and glimpse into their journeys: Paul Charles Augustin, Janet Pillai, Aida Redza, and Leong Kwong Yee.
Paul Charles Augustin
Paul Charles Augustin is a proud Penangite and a polymath in the music industry, widely noted for orchestrating initiatives to put Penang on the world map. For the past 40 years, Paul has embraced a broad spectrum of roles—musician, events manager, festival director, and mentor, among others.
