About this Song
Rooted in Tacloban City, Leyte’s tight-knit creative community, which has long cultivated artists who balance deep ties to local Filipino cultural life with a drive to connect with audiences far beyond the archipelago’s borders, Le John stands out as a multi-hyphenate creator who has turned that balance into a thriving, multifaceted career. The pop recording Akala Ko carries the same creative ethos that defines all of his work, rooted in the intentional blending of OPM, or Original Pilipino Music, with international pop and R&B influences that let his work feel both rooted in the Filipino experience and accessible to listeners across the globe. Every project he takes on, from early viral releases to newer recordings like Akala Ko, bears the stamp of his full creative control, a choice that lets him infuse every layer of a sound with the personal, emotionally resonant core that has made his work land so widely with fans across the Philippines and beyond.
