In 2011, another key milestone occurred when Queen Sea Big Shark, another Modern Sky band, played at SXSW, further cementing the company's position on the global stage.
Between 2014 and 2017, Modern Sky expanded its reach to cities like Helsinki, Seattle, and Los Angeles. In 2015, the company invested in the Liverpool Sound City Festival in the United Kingdom. By 2017, Modern Sky had established a presence in the UK, signing local artists and earning nominations for Best Independent Label at the prestigious Music Week Awards for three consecutive years.
In 2024, Modern Sky reached another milestone with the opening of Modern Sky Japan. Shen Lihui announced the new venture at the 21st Tokyo International Music Market. Akinori Makino, general manager of Modern Sky Japan, emphasized the company's dual mission: to promote Chinese music in Japan and offer Japanese artists opportunities to engage with the global market.
