Industri muzik tempatan menghadapi cabaran signifikan dalam ekosistem pekerjaan dan pembangunan kerjaya. Pemuzik, khususnya yang bekerja secara bebas, sering kali bergelut dengan masalah akses yang terhad dan tidak sistematik kepada peluang pekerjaan dan kolaborasi profesional. Menyedari isu ini, kajian ini memperkenalkan MusicianHub, sebuah portal web interaktif yang dibangunkan untuk menyediakan platform terpusat bagi pemuzik, sekali gus memperkemaskan proses carian peluang dan pengurusan kerjaya. Objektif utama projek ini adalah untuk membangunkan sebuah sistem maklumat berasaskan web yang berfungsi sebagai hab maklumat dan jaringan sosial profesional. Metodologi pembangunan melibatkan penggunaan perisian Dreamweaver dan pangkalan data phpMyAdmin untuk menyimpan dan mengurus data pengguna, peluang pekerjaan, dan aktiviti pentadbiran. Sistem ini direka bentuk untuk menyokong ciri-ciri utama seperti pengurusan pekerjaan (menambah, menyenarai, mencari, dan memohon pekerjaan), profil pengguna yang dinamik, serta hierarki akses bagi pentadbir dan pengguna biasa. Hasil projek ini adalah portal yang efisien dan mesra pengguna yang dapat menghubungkan pemuzik dengan peluang profesional yang relevan dan pada masa yang sama, menyediakan saluran yang berkesan bagi organisasi untuk mendapatkan bakat yang sesuai. Kajian ini menyumbang kepada bidang sistem maklumat dan pengurusan teknologi dengan menunjukkan bagaimana teknologi digital boleh dimanfaatkan untuk menyokong dan memperkasakan industri kreatif, terutamanya dalam konteks pasaran yang dinamik. Secara tidak langsung, MusicianHub berpotensi untuk memberi impak positif terhadap dasar sokongan industri muzik, meningkatkan peluang ekonomi, dan memperkukuh kedudukan pemuzik tempatan dalam era digital.
The local music industry faces significant challenges in its employment ecosystem and career development. Musicians, particularly freelancers, often struggle with limited and unsystematic access to professional job opportunities and collaborations. Recognising this issue, this study introduces MusicianHub, an interactive web portal developed to provide a centralised platform for musicians, thereby streamlining the process of opportunity discovery and career management. The main objective of this project is to develop a web-based information system that serves as an information hub and professional social network. The development methodology uses Dreamweaver software and a phpMyAdmin database to store and manage user data, job opportunities, and administrative activities. The system is designed to support key features such as job management (adding, listing, searching, and applying for jobs), dynamic user profiles, and an access hierarchy for administrators and regular users. The outcome of this project is an efficient and user-friendly portal that connects musicians with relevant professional opportunities while providing an effective channel for organisations to find suitable talent. This study contributes to information systems and technology management by demonstrating how digital technology can support and empower the creative industry, especially in a dynamic market. Indirectly, MusicianHub has the potential to positively impact music industry support policies, increase economic opportunities, and strengthen the position of local musicians in the digital era.
