00:00So can you tell us more about SINING, how did the project come to be?

00:11SINING happened because Dionela has been singing my songs ever since I was 5 years old,

00:20so he's always wanted to do a collaboration with me.

00:23So finally, he found a friend that I know.

00:27He found her and we exchanged information.

00:32But what solidified our collaboration is that we met at the RX Concert Series

00:38because my wife, Mika, is a guest there and Dionela is also there.

00:43I didn't know that was happening, so I just went there, I came from work,

00:48I went to Mika, and I saw Dionela playing guitar on the floor,

00:53and she was singing because it was her set.

00:56I heard her and I was really impressed.

01:00After the set, I called her and said,

01:02Bro, you're really good, I'm really interested in doing a collab,

01:07so here's my information.

01:10And it's amazing.

01:12Of course, on the way home, I did some research on her,

01:17and I saw that her viewership was really high.

01:20At the time, she had 2.1 million monthly listeners, and I had 500,000.

01:28So I was like, wow, this is okay.

01:31But it wasn't the numbers that decided why I wanted to do a collab with her.

01:38I saw that she was kind, very talented, very driven.

01:42That's what inspired me to do a collab with her.

01:47So she sent you the song, that's how it happened?

01:51Yeah, she sent me a voice note that she was just playing the guitar,

01:56and she sang the verse.

01:58She sent it to me, I heard it, it was beautiful.

02:01I said, shoot, this is a hit.

02:03Send me the instrumental.

02:05I was also inspired to write it, so when she sent it to me,

02:09it was even better because it was already recorded.

02:12The guitar was already recorded, the vocals were already properly recorded,

02:15so I already had the direction.

02:17So I wrote my verses, and our vocals were already meshed.

02:24What do you like the most about the song?

02:26Maybe the time it took to make it, and the fact that you made it.

02:30For sure, the melody.

02:33In the voice note, I couldn't really hear the lyrics,

02:37but I could hear the melody.

02:39It was really catchy, and the melody was very beautiful.

02:42Especially when it was clear, when she sent it to me,

02:48I could see the lyrics, I could hear it.

02:50So I already knew at that time that it was a masterpiece.

03:01With a curvy figure, voice of an angel like a symphony,

03:08No doubt she's a masterpiece.

03:12Were you surprised by the reception and the reaction of the people?

03:16What did you feel when you filmed it?

03:19There were a lot of people who liked it.

03:21Well, I know people will like it because the song is really beautiful.

03:26I was surprised when we were number 1 on all platforms.

03:31We were number 1 for 25 days,

03:33and even more of a surprise,

03:35we were able to enter the top 60 global charts,

03:40and there were no Filipinos doing it yet.

03:42We were the first Filipinos.

03:44So there were a lot of surprises, until now, everyday.

03:47Now, our next surprise that we're anticipating,

03:52is 2 million streams a day.

03:54We're already at 1.9 million.

03:56So it's a very exciting time now.

04:00Have you guys talked about it?

04:02The success of the single?

04:04Did you talk about it?

04:06Her reaction and...

04:08Yes, we always call each other.

04:10Everytime we have a milestone to achieve,

04:12we call each other.

04:14Bro, come on, let's do this.

04:16Because I also monitor her monthly listeners.

04:20And today, she hit 7.5 million.

04:23So I asked her,

04:25Bro, 7.5 million, you're so good.

04:27Then she'll call me back,

04:29Bro, you're already at 7 million.

04:31So every milestone, we call each other.

04:34It's cool because we've been friends for a long time.

04:39What do you think makes it very appealing to Filipino listeners?

04:43Why is it a hit?

04:45Well, I think,

04:47the singing is very appealing.

04:49Because, first of all, the melody,

04:51it's very beautiful.

04:53And when you hear the lyrics,

04:57there are meanings,

04:59there are hidden gems around the lyrics.

05:02And there's a lot going on.

05:05You're getting stimulated from the melody.

05:08You're getting stimulated from the nice lyrics.

05:10And there are words that you can't understand,

05:13like nukoshe.

05:15A lot of people ask me, what's nukoshe?

05:18Nukoshe is an expensive painting.

05:24It's a French word, but it's made in Italy.

05:27So other people are searching for it.

05:30So they really have to listen to the song again.

05:33Like, what word is that?

05:35So there are a lot of factors why they always play the songs.

05:40And then, not only that,

05:42Dayanela's voice is different.

05:48It's authentic, it's original.

05:52There's nothing like that.

05:54It's soundproof.

05:56And then, I went in.

06:03So, the contrast of our voices is gelling very well.

06:08It became like a boy band type.

06:10It's like a boy band.

06:12That's how it happens.

06:14Because the voices are different.

06:17And that's how it happens to us.

06:19When Dayanela goes in, the voice tone is different.

06:23And when I go in, the tone is different.

06:25So there's always something new in the song.

06:27And people just want to keep listening to it.

06:29What's up, Pepster?

06:31This is your boy, JR.

06:32Thank you so much for your support.

06:34I hope you keep streaming Sining on Spotify, iTunes, YouTube, everything.
