History
- Pre musician I spent most of my time doing extracurricular activities when I was younger and did school theatre for almost 7 years. Around that time, I started playing the ukulele and our directress would ask me to play it for a song in one of my last musicals! That's when I learned I preffered to perform that way (instead of theatre performances)

- Beginning In 2019, I joined my first band! We performed once and never got the chance to do it again because the pandemic hit

- pandemic (2020-2021) This was around the time I just started playing bass! I started to write songs because I felt trapped and needed some type of escape

I'd play them to my parents and when late 2020 came around, I joined a Songwriting Workshop by Acel Bisa Van Omenn

That's when I wrote my very first published song, dance all night! In an online three-day workshop where i got to meet my closest musician friend Ligaya Escueta !!!!

( I wrote dance all night when I was 14. In the workshop, we were given stock images to choose from and to write a song about – since there was a storm and I was really into Clichés and stuff like dancing in the rain, I picked that one With a time limit, i wrote the verse and the chorus within three days and the prechoruses followed a few days after We had a demo showcase and I had thats where the Dance All Night demo premiered! Acel liked our songs and offered a Spotify release - we said yes, and she paired me up with Mikey Amistoso as a producer )

Recording dance all night: Because the studio and face to face interactions weren't accessible at the time, I recorded all my instruments and vocals on an ipad in garage band — my bandmates, Timothy and Erica de Belen, did the same thing with a laptop at home ! We sent the tracks to Mikey and let him do the magic Over the course of a few weeks, we had our song ready for release by November of 2020! BUT the release time for Slice Of Sky, the album which my song is in, got pushed back due to it being Christmas time. ( there was too much "traffic" like, if we released it, the album would probably go unnoticed because of all the holiday songs and albums releasing and resurfacing HAHAHHA ) In the meantime, ligaya and I worked together with Acel to make the album art for Slice of Sky. FINALLY, slice of sky gets released on January 15th, 2021

- post pandemic (or when the pandemic was waning) / performing live I spend a lot of my time at home still, joining online music groups and practicing with recording and writing my own songs. I release a few covers with different bands in 2021, then when 2022 rolls around, I finally get my very first live (solo) gig! May 4th marks the day of my first ever performance in Beer Belly in Quesom City as a front act for Acel Bisa! With less than 24hrs to prepare, I perform Dance All Night and Midnight's Child ( she called me the afternoon before the show and asked me if I wanted to play! ) For the rest of 2022, I mostly do gigs at private parties or as front acts for musicians that I really love the music and company of
