About this Song
Raised in Manila, the Filipino singer-songwriter at the center of this pop sound from the Philippines weaves a distinct artistic identity that blends introspective folk-pop and soulful jazz, pulling from the nuanced, lived complexities of young love and loss to craft work that feels deeply personal and universally resonant, inviting listeners to lean into every intimate layer of the worlds she builds in her music. One of her home country’s most streamed female artists, she boasts over 4 million monthly listeners on Spotify, a milestone that cements her enduring connection with audiences far beyond her local base, and that connection translated to a global spotlight in 2021, when she graced the billboards of New York’s Times Square as Spotify’s featured EQUAL Artist, a recognition that brought her sharp, relatable songcraft to audiences who might not have otherwise encountered her work.
