About this Song
As an alternative and city pop singer-songwriter rooted in the vibrant Philippine music landscape, Maki builds his entire discography around a striking, intentional contrast: the warm, easy, melodic quality of his compositions that invites listeners in, paired with the unflinchingly heartbreaking, painful core of the stories he tells through his songwriting. That balance has proven to be more than just a creative quirk; it’s the foundation of the connection he’s built with audiences across his home country and far beyond, turning casual listeners who stumble across his work into long-term fans that see their own grief and longing reflected in every line he pens. His biggest 2023 track, “Saan?”, catapulted that connection to new heights, turning what had been a growing local following into a cross-border phenomenon that turned Maki from a rising independent artist into a household name for Filipino music fans at home and abroad.
