From the hallways of UP to the stages of Metro Manila and beyond, five-piece indie alt-pop band Any Name’s Okay has built itself up to be a band that cares more about creativity and connections than streams and chart positions.
On this episode of Billboard Philippines Volumes, band members Renzo Lumanog, Sofia Abrogar, and Anton Atienza talk about the realities of being independent artists, their true metrics for success, the friendships they’ve made in the OPM scene, and the driving forces behind their artistry, including the loving and loyal community their music has brought together.
