About This Album
Rooted in the diverse landscape of Filipino recorded music, the self-titled album TJ Monterde sits within the broad, exploratory umbrella of Music/Other, a classification that holds space for creative work that defies the strict borders of more established commercial genre categories, allowing creators to lean into the full range of their artistic impulses without being boxed in by the expectations that often come with assigning work to a single, well-known genre. The album carries the name of its creator, TJ Monterde, the sole credited artist for the full body of work, a self-titled project that ties every creative choice woven into the album directly to the singular vision that Monterde brings to the work, centering that perspective as the throughline that unifies every section of the release.
