00:00Don't be afraid to pursue your own sound and sometimes it really takes a while so you really
00:13have to invest in your own talent and your own music.
00:17Stick to what you really love doing, like your genre.
00:21If you're serious and if you put in the work and you become better at what you do, there
00:27really will be people who will also appreciate.
00:30Music is also something that you do to serve others so you don't also just do music just
00:34for yourself but you also think of ways to make people happy with what you do.
00:39So it's about finding the balance between those two.
00:42It's really about being primarily a music fan because I didn't start out as a musician
00:48or as a professional musician.
00:49I started out as a fan of music.
00:51It's that cycle of just being a music fan and being a musician myself.
00:55Just keep on playing and try to write some new material and try to play their songs as
01:03best as they can.
01:04Filipino music is one that can reach an international crowd if given the chance.
01:16There's a lot of great musicians, very talented musicians, Filipino musicians that aren't
01:21given the opportunity to play outside the country or a bigger audience.
01:28So if they could be given the chance, I know that they will do pretty well and because
01:36of the talents that they have, they could represent the country.
01:39Just keep the passion.
01:40Love what you do and don't measure yourself with anything else.
01:45It's just the passion and love and just be happy about that.
01:51Keep listening to a lot of stuff.
01:52It's important.
01:53You have to keep evolving and changing.
