APM is supported by Media Development Authority of Singapore (MDA), Composers and Authors Society of Singapore (COMPASS) and the Indonesian Music Award Foundation (YAMI).
The event was first held in 2001 and has been held every year (except in 2010). Awards are given in various categories, covering all the participating countries, as well as specific awards for particular countries. In 2005, for the very first time an artist from Brunei, Faiz Nawi, was invited as a performer at this awards event. It was only in 2013, after an eight-year break, that another Bruneian artist, Jaz Hayat, was given the honours to perform at the said event.
The first artist from Brunei (Aziz Harun) and the Philippines (Mark Adam) both were nominated in Best New Artiste at Anugerah Planet Muzik 2015. However, the first songwriter and award winner from the Philippines who was nominated fell to Judah Lyne from The Lion Story. Since then, Judah Lyne has won five awards for Best Singapore Song in 2011, 2015–2018. In the 2016 edition, Shunpei Nakagawa from Japan was the first artist from another region to be nominated for the awards.
