“Mae gan Gymru hunaniaeth a diwylliant unigryw, a thros y saith mlynedd a aeth heibio, rydym wedi gweithio i ddatblygu digwyddiad sy’n cyflwyno Cymru i weddill y byd trwy roi llwyfan i dalent Cymreig a Chymraeg. Roeddem ni, fel FOCUS Wales, yn falch o gael mynd i SXSW yn yr Unol Daleithiau er mwyn  i enw Cymru a’n diwydiant cerddoriaeth ennill eu plwyf ar lwyfan byd eang. Mae cefnogaeth Llywodraeth Cymru wedi bod yn amhrisiadwy wrth ddatblygu FOCUS Wales fel gŵyl hyd yn hyn a thros y tair blynedd nesaf, ac yn enwedig felly, ar adeg mor dyngedfennol yn hanes yr ŵyl. Bydd  yn sicrhau bod FOCUS Wales yn gwireddu ei lawn botensial fel llwyfan ryngwladol i dalent o Gymru, ac i’r wlad ei hun wrth gwrs.”
“Wales is a country with its own unique identity and culture and over the past seven years, we’ve been working to develop an event that can present Wales to the rest of the world through showcasing our home grown talent. As FOCUS Wales, we were pleased to be able to attend SXSW in the US and further establish the identity of Wales and the Welsh music industry on a global stage. The support of Welsh Government has been invaluable in the development of FOCUS Wales as a festival thus far and the continued investment over the next three years, at such a pivotal point, will ensure FOCUS Wales reaches its fullest potential as an international showcase for Welsh talent and for Wales itself.”
