00:56 As early as grade 6, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:59 to be in a band.
01:00 First time I got a cheap guitar and cheap amp,
01:03 I would play my tapes.
01:06 I would play my cassette tape.
01:07 I would play it.
01:08 I would play it with my friends.
01:10 That's how much I loved music.
01:11 During my time, which was like middle of the '90s,

01:17 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
01:26 Never ending in supply and music and inspiration.

03:31 I made a song specifically for Jopay by Sex Mom Dancers.
03:37 What's good about music is that you can make inventions.
03:53 You can be a part of something that is untrue.
03:57 It's just a crazy idea.
04:00 So that's what happened. I wanted to create a song that would make it as if we have a connection.
04:06 Even though she doesn't know me, even though I haven't seen her face to face.
04:11 That's what happened. I wrote the song.
04:13 What's funny is that when I wrote the song, I got addicted.
04:18 I always watch the Broadway and the NTRU. I go to the Kuy Pila and watch Itbolaga.
04:24 We sit together at the Kury Maung Iwa. We're friends.
04:28 That's where it started. I was like, "Okay, this is what it's like to be a fanboy."
04:33 It was so fun.
04:34 What's funny is that I didn't think of it as a mayonnaise song.
04:40 I just wanted to make it.
04:41 Fast forward, when the songs were curated for the first album,
04:52 I was still hesitating.
04:54 We won the music competition. The premise of the album was to make an album.
04:58 Of course, it's a music competition. It's a cracker. It should be heavy.
05:02 It's a metal.
05:04 The jopay was a bouncy bop.
05:07 Actually, what's funny is that when I wrote the demo, I recorded it.
05:14 Like I said, I watch the Broadway and the NTRU.
05:17 My friend and I, Dingo and I went to the NTRU.
05:20 I was shy because I'm fat.
05:22 They might not notice me. Dingo is handsome.
05:25 I told him, "Goy, give it to Jopay."
05:27 We waited for a while.
05:29 For those who don't know, in the old days, in the Broadway and NTRU,
05:33 you could just wait in the parking lot.
05:35 The artists would come out.
05:37 For example, Bossing, Sinongsae, and so on.
05:39 They were there. When they came out, I saw Jopay.
05:43 I said, "Jopay, how are you?"
05:48 Dingo and I were friends.
05:50 I was looking for him.
05:52 "Where did you give it to?"
05:54 "I don't know."
05:56 I didn't hear anything from him.
05:58 Fast forward to when he came out.
06:00 Actually, he wasn't out yet.
06:02 We were just playing some gigs.
06:04 I was surprised. They didn't know that they were already doing that.
06:08 I said, "So, they're saying that people like it?"
06:13 When the music video for 2005 came out, Jopay was supposed to be there.
06:19 But Sex Bomb was so busy.
06:21 Their manager, Ma'am Joy Cancio, said that they were busy in Japan.
06:27 Because that's how hectic they were.
06:30 So, he wasn't there for the music video.
06:33 So, he was just an anino.
06:35 Until then, the music video came out.
06:38 It became popular. It was number one on radio stations.
06:42 We went to schools and provinces.
06:46 People knew the song.
06:48 Then, maybe one year in, that time,
06:51 we did the whole 2005.
06:54 So, around 2006, we had one gig.
06:58 I don't know if you remember.
07:02 Where was the NU107?
07:04 NU107 was in Emerald, I think.
07:06 It was near the gallery.
07:09 In front of it, there was a watering hole.
07:12 It was like a bar.
07:14 Someone texted me.
07:16 "Bro, Jopay is at the watering hole. He's near. Where are you?"
07:20 I was so embarrassed.
07:24 That's when I was embarrassed.
07:26 I said, "I won't go. Maybe he won't remember me."
07:30 I was so embarrassed. My friends forced me to go.
07:33 "Go ahead. Go ahead. Hello."
07:35 "Hey, how are you?"
07:39 Small talk.
07:41 I was surprised.
07:42 "Do you know the demo tape you gave me?"
07:45 He said, "Whenever I play it on the radio,
07:48 I tell them that it's my original."
07:52 It was funny.
07:54 That was the first time we saw something happening to the band.
07:58 Fast forward, I think, 2015 or 2016,
08:02 Jopay texted me.
08:05 I was surprised because I won first, then I lost.
08:08 I said, "Oh no, I lost."
08:11 We talked.
08:13 I think he was asking for a favor.
08:15 I said, "That's great. You're good at this."
08:19 He went to our studio and told me
08:22 what he needed to do for the song.
08:25 We were on standby.
08:27 I thought we could talk casually.
08:33 We were still in the pandemic.
08:36 We were still having fun with TikTok ideas.
08:39 Technically, I just fell into it.
08:54 It started as a passion.
08:56 I never expected to be what I am now.
09:02 I never thought of becoming a hobby.
09:04 I never thought of becoming famous.
09:07 I just said, "I hope I become famous and sing."
