Famous Filipino music icons Bamboo and Pupil band share their views on the Philippine music industry.

Transcript

00:00My mom always loves to say the bamboo will bend but not break, you know, so it's a symbol

00:20of resiliency, of inner strength, you know, so I guess she instilled that in me.

00:25I like to think that I've lived up to my name.

00:27It's a great name.

00:28I love it.

00:29Aside from the live shows, we are also preparing for the next video to the last single of our

00:55latest album, the third single, which is Pusakal.

00:59The reaction from the feedback from 2020 was very, very encouraging and we were very

01:06proud or we still are very proud of that video and we're going to try and if not top it,

01:15do something that will be worthwhile seeing.

01:20What makes me stand out?

01:21I guess, you know, I just have my own voice, you know, I mean, and when I say that it's

01:26in the writing, it's in the performing, it's just I am my own artist, right?

01:30At the end of the day, that's it and I like to think I put in the work, too, like I always

01:36say all the work goes before you get on stage or before, you know, we get in the studio.

01:43It's all about pre-prod.

01:45We perceive it as a scene, not really as a competition and I think that we've managed

01:52to come up with a sound that is very unique.

01:56Each band strives for is to find their voice, their own unique voice and to cultivate that

02:02voice.

02:03We don't settle for our current state, whichever that is.

02:08We always want to progress and evolve.

02:10I never see music as a competition.

02:13So my suggestion would be why don't we have like a festival, like a get-together or sort

02:17of just blend things together, you know what I mean?

02:20Like play separately but at a certain point we can sort of just jam and interact and communicate

02:26and that's the beauty of music.

02:50This is Bam, we're Pupil, and you're watching GNTV!
