Co-founder
Melt Records
Cebu City, Philippines

Dexter Sy is the co-founder of Cebu-based independent label Melt Records. He is also a software engineer by day. Through Melt Records, he hopes to reinvent how record labels operate in the Philippines (and more ambitiously, in the global industry) using what he knows about both the music business and software technology. He is particularly passionate about the key issues of transparency with artists and elevating audience experiences.

Melt Records is an independent label based in Cebu City, Philippines. Its roster includes artists from all around the Philippines and other parts of the world, but with the majority of the roster based in the Visayas and Mindanao regions, the label hopes to do justice in presenting the vast musical diversity and talents in the southern half of the Philippines to the world. More importantly, Melt Records seeks to build a sorely needed culture of transparency in the country’s thriving indie music scene.
