SINGAPOREAN RAPPER J.M3 RELEASES BRAND NEW TRACK “PICK ‘EM UP” FOR AFFYN’S MOBILE GAME, BUDDY ARENA

Earlier in May this year, Warner Music Singapore (WMSG) and Affyn announced the partnership to forge new opportunities for artists and audiences within the gaming industry. This represents a significant step towards merging the realms of music and gaming, paving the way for exciting and interactive experiences for both artist and fans alike.

As part of this collaboration, WMSG’s rising artist J.M3 has written and co-produced an English theme song titled "Pick 'Em Up'' exclusively for Affyn’s upcoming mobile game, Buddy Arena, as it launches around the world in the coming months. J.M3’s avatar is also featured as the main character in the game trailer where she battles alongside Purffyn (one of the game’s Buddies), fully showcasing the bond and resilience between players and Buddies. 

Says J.M3, “Creating this track with Affyn has been so exciting every step of the way. Getting to make music to shape and bring new worlds to people has been one of the most thrilling projects this year for me. Plus, Purffyn and its fellow Buddies look out of this world! This is just about the cutest badass song I’ve ever written.”

In line with the game’s thematic direction, "Pick 'Em Up" is an energetic anthem that celebrates teamwork, resilience, and triumph. With its catchy melodies and empowering lyrics, the song is an uplifting and motivating track that inspires listeners and their inner circles to work as a team to overcome obstacles and embrace their own paths to success. 

Currently, J.M3 is working on new music and a series of live shows, with dates announced for Music Matters Live on September 13th and more to come. In addition, J.M3 is scheduled to appear at Affyn’s event at the Grand Prix Season Singapore during the F1 weekend on September 16th.

Buddy Arena, a mobile arena brawler game that takes place in part of the NEXUS World, is currently available on both iOS and Android platforms in the Philippines and is set to launch in Singapore and selected regions next, with a global launch set for early 2024. An accompanying music video for “Pick ‘Em Up” is also currently in production in tandem with the global launch.
