About Me

I'm an amateur songwriter from Granite Bay, California. Originally from the Philippines, I grew up listening to Filipino rock bands of the 90s like the Eraserheads and Parokya Ni Edgar. Mostly influenced by the legendary Eraserheads frontman Ely Buendia, I started writing songs back in 2001 and it has been my passion ever since. Decades later, I have decided to share my songs to the world by producing and releasing my songs to mainstream media.

Check out my catalogue here. I also created videos for some of my songs. Thank you for visiting!
