About This Album
Across the dynamic, ever-evolving pop landscape of the Philippines, a new full-length album titled Maki emerges from an artist whose work has already reshaped local and international perceptions of modern Filipino pop’s creative and emotional range. As an alternative and city pop singer-songwriter, the artist behind the project built his loyal, growing fanbase on a core creative tension that sets his work apart from many of his contemporaries: he crafts easy, melodic, widely accessible tunes that wrap around lyrical and emotional cores that are unflinchingly raw, heartbreaking, and steeped in the quiet, specific pain of experiences that resonate deeply with anyone who has carried unspoken longing, regret, or grief. Long before he stepped into the spotlight that accompanies his current career stage, the artist first earned early critical and fan attention with the Tanong EP, a project he penned entirely on his own that served as the unshakable foundation for every opportunity that would follow.
