Ebe Dancel has done it all. From his early days as the frontman of Sugarfree to the steady run of his solo records, his poignant and emotional songwriting has become a hallmark of modern Filipino music. But 25 years in the industry have not come without cost.
In this episode of The Rolling Stone Philippines Interview, #EbeDancel reflects on the ups and downs of his career, his struggles with mental health, and his journey toward finding his purpose as a performer.
From setting the record straight about the “disbandment” of his former band Sugarfree to stepping back from his career to take care of himself, the Filipino musician revisits the turning points that have shaped his life and journey. “We must keep spinning,” he says. “We have to keep trying.”
