The creative force behind Sunrise crafts their work within the rich, evolving tapestry of Filipino R&B, a lineage that stretches back decades across the Philippines’ local and transnational creative scenes, where the genre has long been reimagined, reshaped, and rooted in the specific emotional landscapes of the archipelago. For generations, creators working in R&B across the Philippines have used the form’s inherent flexibility to explore the full range of human experience, drawing on the genre’s global framework to center stories that feel deeply specific to the lives of people across the country and the millions of Filipino people living and creating around the world.
