About This Album
Raised and born in Manila, the Filipino artist behind the pop album Kiyo built his creative practice across interconnected disciplines that let him bring every layer of his vision to life, no detail left unguided by his own hand. The 25-year-old rapper first began writing songs as a teenager, honing the voice that would soon resonate deeply with audiences across his home country and beyond, years before he adopted the artist name that anchors all his work in 2018. His approach to writing centers intimate, relatable storytelling, drawing from the slice of the everyday mundane that makes up ordinary life to craft narratives that feel like unguarded conversations shared between close friends. He weaves slice-of-life observations alongside meditations on love and hard-won wisdom, turning the small walks and talks that make up a life into songs that stick with listeners long after the final note fades.
