00:00If you're married, you can get a girl that can't be able to do it.
00:05I'll tell you a personal thing that I really, really hate.
00:08I'm so judgmental, unapologetically, about this.
00:12That's my turn off.
00:21Ian, you said earlier, while you were introducing yourself, while you were talking,
00:26you said, Ian, an artist, why did he do it in music, in singing?
00:33What are your thoughts about being limited to acting or being an actor?
00:38I think it actually gets in the way.
00:42Because there are expectations, there are certain preconceived notions or ideas about you.
00:49For example, if you give me something to me,
00:51Ian, I noticed that this song is like this.
00:56I haven't played yet.
00:57I'm like, what's that?
00:59You know what he's doing?
01:01There are a lot of layers.
01:04There are a lot of layers.
01:05But when you say to me that you don't know,
01:08it's like, okay, I have to listen to it with fresh ears.
01:12And see the...
01:15I can listen directly without all the layers of expectations and judgments and stuff.
01:21So I'm hoping that people who listen to this album, this EP,
01:29listen with fresh ears.
01:31That's why I feel like my face gets in the way.
01:37And my name.
01:39Because when you say,
01:40ah, you're an artist,
01:40ah, I'm sure,
01:41you know,
01:42how many years ago?
01:43Ah, that's why it's like this.
01:45There's a lot of people.
01:47So,
01:49it's my hope.
01:51Just listen to it.
01:52If you like it, you like it.
01:54It resonates with you.
01:55Then...
01:56Yeah.
01:56Parang hindi naman ito reason.
01:58Kasi I remember,
01:58I also attended your press con.
02:00Did Samurata din eh.
02:02Sa isang west to about your music.
02:04So, ilang years na rin, di ba?
02:06Yeah, yeah.
02:07Pero,
02:08we've been traveling a lot the past few years.
02:11And, um,
02:12dahil,
02:13ang swerte natin,
02:15ang daming Pilipino nagkalat sa buong mundo.
02:17So,
02:18lagi na-invite kami mag-concert sa iba-ibang lugar.
02:21Sa US, Canada,
02:22sa Australia,
02:23sa Europe.
02:24And, um,
02:25ang sarap pag nabibisito ko yung mga kababayan natin.
02:29Sabik na sabik lang sila sa,
02:31siguro sa language natin,
02:32and the sensibilities,
02:33sa Pinoy humor.
02:35You know,
02:35parang you're like bringing a piece of foam to them.
02:38Tapos, aside from that,
02:39siyempre, parang I get to connect with so many people na,
02:42otherwise, hindi makikilala sa buhay ko.
02:45Pero, yun,
02:46it's a chance to connect with so many people
02:49and they end up maging kaibigan mo na.
02:52And then, you know,
02:53pag sila naman umuwi dito,
02:55tawag sila sa'yo,
02:56kikita kayo,
02:57yung mga ganun.
02:58So, na-enjoy ko talaga.
02:59Yeah.
03:00You are an established actor.
03:02Now,
03:03you wanna prove to them that you can be more than an actor.
03:07Ano yung usually reaction nila
03:10when they witness you showing a side of yourself as a singer?
03:15Parang for you, it's a compliment
03:16when they find out that you can also sing.
03:20Yes, of course.
03:21Pero,
03:23parang,
03:24I'd like to frame it this way.
03:25I'm not trying to prove
03:27that I can do this or do that.
03:30It's like,
03:32I just want to show that I enjoy doing this,
03:35I enjoy doing that.
03:36But it's,
03:37I know it's,
03:38it's not for everyone also.
03:40Um,
03:41for example,
03:41my interest in acting,
03:43I could,
03:44I could have extensive conversations about it,
03:47but it's,
03:47not everyone would find it interesting.
03:50Some people do find it interesting,
03:52the psychology behind it,
03:53how we prepare for a scene and this and that,
03:55how we take on different roles and blah, blah.
03:58But some people don't enjoy it.
03:59So, just like music,
04:01it's,
04:01although it's such a universal thing.
04:04And,
04:05sometimes,
04:05there are songs that I like,
04:06in different languages,
04:08we don't understand the songs,
04:10but,
04:11if you like it,
04:11I have songs that I like,
04:14in French,
04:15that I have no idea what it's about.
04:18Or opera,
04:20in Italian,
04:21for example,
04:22that I don't know about it,
04:23but,
04:24you just feel it about it,
04:27even if you don't understand the words.
04:28So,
04:29I think,
04:29music is such a universal thing.
04:32But,
04:32that's not,
04:35it's not meant to be
04:38to sing,
04:38or sing,
04:39or,
04:40it's just,
04:41I just want to enjoy it.
04:42And actually,
04:44I hope,
04:44that all of the people,
04:45they enjoy the,
04:47all of the voices,
04:48and,
04:49instruments,
04:50and stuff.
04:50It's such a liberating thing.
04:52For me,
04:53it took me,
04:55a long time,
04:56to,
04:57to actually,
04:58jump in,
04:59and just,
04:59and enjoy music,
05:00without,
05:01being pressured.
05:02It's like,
05:04you,
05:04you enjoy taking photos.
05:06For example,
05:06with your cell phone,
05:07and stuff.
05:08You don't have to pressure,
05:09if you shoot a photo,
05:11you should be a photographer,
05:12you should be a pro.
05:13No,
05:14you just take photos,
05:15the way you want to take photos,
05:16and there's nothing wrong with that.
05:18So,
05:19it's the same thing with music.
05:20If you have a guitar,
05:21or a piano,
05:21or your voice,
05:23it's,
05:24it's just,
05:25expressing,
05:25lang yourself.
05:27Diba?
05:27Hindi naman ibig sabihin,
05:28nagpapabida ka.
05:29Hindi naman,
05:30hindi ibig sabihin,
05:31nagpapanggap ka,
05:31na professional.
05:32You know,
05:32you're just enjoying it.
05:34And right.
05:35Sobrang sakap na outlet mo eh.
05:36That's very interesting kasi,
05:38diba?
05:39This is still show business.
05:41Dian eh.
05:42So, diba?
05:42Especially the singers.
05:44Yung sinabi mo kasi,
05:45diba?
05:46It's for you,
05:46to express yourself.
05:48For many singers,
05:50it's really to prove.
05:52Diba?
05:53Yung,
05:54they can be better,
05:55or they can sell.
05:56Diba?
05:56Parang,
05:58yung nakikita mo yung acting.
05:59Yes, yes, yes.
06:00Because,
06:00I guess if that's your day job.
06:02For example,
06:03maybe that's me,
06:04as an actor.
06:05My whole life,
06:06I've been trying to prove
06:07I do these roles,
06:08and this,
06:09and that,
06:09action movies,
06:10or drama,
06:11or comedy,
06:12or whatever.
06:13Because that's my job.
06:15Music is not my job.
06:16I do it purely for the enjoyment,
06:18and the expression.
06:20Because I love doing it.
06:22may kaibigan na ako,
06:23nagsabi sa akin,
06:24Uy,
06:25bakit hindi ka mag-AI ngayon?
06:26Assemblies na.
06:27You can make a song in five minutes.
06:29So,
06:30why the hell would I wanna finish a song in five minutes?
06:33Eh,
06:33na-enjoy ko gumawa eh.
06:34Kung pwede nga isang linggo yung process.
06:36Kaya lang kami na dyan,
06:37limang oras sa amin,
06:39nakakatapos kami ng song.
06:41Pero,
06:41kung pwede nga,
06:42pahabayin ko po eh.
06:43It's like saying,
06:45bakit ka pa mag-paint?
06:48Um,
06:48pwede mo namang isimulate lahat sa AI.
06:50Parang,
06:51it's not the point.
06:52Siguro,
06:52kung trabaho ko,
06:53mag-submit ng mag-submit,
06:54sure, I'd use that.
06:56Pero hindi,
06:56music hindi ko,
06:57it's not my day job.
06:59Right?
06:59I do it because I enjoy it.
07:00I enjoy taking risks,
07:02I enjoy making mistakes,
07:04and,
07:06regretting,
07:06ah, sana ginamit ko acoustic.
07:08Ay, hindi mas bagay ito.
07:09In electric,
07:09papalitan naman sa studio,
07:11papalitan mo.
07:11I enjoy everything.
07:13Yeah.
07:13Hindi ako mamadali.
07:15Eh, yun niya,
07:15kasi it's not my day job.
07:17It was,
07:18it was really obvious kanina
07:19when you were talking,
07:20parang you were,
07:22kanina,
07:22you were in your element kasi.
07:24So,
07:25what is the fulfillment that you get,
07:27the satisfaction that you get,
07:29from expressing yourself in music
07:32compared to the satisfaction that you get
07:35when it comes to acting?
07:38Well,
07:39there are different,
07:40it's,
07:41it's a different shape.
07:43It's a different mental shape.
07:45When,
07:46when it's acting,
07:48or when it's painting,
07:49or when it's,
07:50but the,
07:51the,
07:51the common denominator there is,
07:53we,
07:54we all have this urge naman
07:56to,
07:57head towards authenticity.
07:58Diba?
07:59To express ourselves.
08:01Na,
08:01and,
08:02and to find,
08:03una,
08:03to find ourselves.
08:04Ano ba talaga yung,
08:06ano ko?
08:06Without,
08:07without the influence kung anong uso.
08:08Kunwari sa damit,
08:10kung hindi,
08:11wala ka pa nakitan damit sa mundo.
08:13Walang nagsabi sa'yo kung anong uso,
08:15anong mamahalin,
08:16anong mumurahin,
08:17anong hindi uso.
08:18Ano yung pipiliin mo?
08:19Anong kulay gusto mo isuot?
08:20Anong,
08:20anong tela gusto mo isuot?
08:23Parang ganun din sa music,
08:24sa dami na nagre-react natin.
08:26Sa dami ng,
08:27you know,
08:27visual,
08:29na nakikita natin.
08:30Parang,
08:31asarap hanapin kung sino,
08:33ano ba talaga yung gusto?
08:34Without being pressured by anyone's expectations,
08:37and society,
08:38and this and that.
08:39And then,
08:40pag nahanap mo,
08:41and then,
08:41inexpress mo yung sarili mo in that way,
08:45there's a certain,
08:46masarap ang feeling.
08:47Kasi nga,
08:48parang it brings you closer to who you think you are.
08:51So,
08:53yun,
08:54it's very satisfying.
08:56Hanggang saan,
08:57mo kayang dalim yung music,
09:00na,
09:01na ginagawa mo ngayon?
09:03Is it,
09:04until,
09:04you get old,
09:05or?
09:06Definitely.
09:06Because I've been into music since I was a kid.
09:09Early.
09:10Uh,
09:11piano lessons,
09:11guitar lessons,
09:12early.
09:13Tapos,
09:16yung human voice talaga,
09:19is the most,
09:21I think,
09:21most beautiful of all instruments,
09:23because it's so unique.
09:25I love guitars,
09:25I collect guitars,
09:26and different wood,
09:27different shape,
09:29the dreadnought,
09:29from the,
09:31orchestra model,
09:32from the,
09:32yung ganda,
09:33iba-iba.
09:34Pero wala kasing ganda ng human voice,
09:36because,
09:37hindi lang sa sobrang unique yung structure,
09:40sa boses mo,
09:42hindi,
09:42so temporary.
09:44Yung boses mo ngayon,
09:45baka what next year,
09:46iba na yung nag-iba.
09:48So,
09:48never siyang parehas,
09:49during your lifetime.
09:51Pero,
09:51pag na-capture mo siya at a certain point,
09:54kahit sinong singer,
09:57matagal na nila kinakanta to.
09:58For example,
09:59after ilan years,
10:00iba yun nila yung key,
10:01kasi hindi nasa comfortable sa dating key.
10:04Yung ganon,
10:04so,
10:05napaka-dynamic niya.
10:07So,
10:08ako,
10:09nagsisisi ako na,
10:10may gulang explore yung,
10:11yung,
10:12yung,
10:12yung boses,
10:13as an instrument.
10:15Pero,
10:16sobrang na-enjoy ko talaga.
10:17Yeah.
10:17But the way I sing pala,
10:19if mapapansin mo,
10:20I'm not showcasing,
10:22you know,
10:23mastery of,
10:24of notes,
10:25or,
10:27or,
10:27or the control of the voice.
10:28No, no, no.
10:29It's not,
10:29nothing like that.
10:31It's,
10:32parang,
10:33ini-imagine ko lang,
10:35parang,
10:36nung nasa beach,
10:36kinakanta ko yung dagat,
10:39and,
10:39naghahopo ako na marinig niya.
10:40Pero,
10:40hindi niya ako narinig ako.
10:42Okay.
10:43Pero,
10:43naghahopo ako na marinig niya yung,
10:46for example,
10:47the gratitude,
10:48if I'm saying thank you.
10:48Sana nangiginig ako ng dagat,
10:50or yung sky,
10:51or no,
10:51whatever.
10:52So,
10:53pag ganon,
10:55nakakamdam ako na gagaling sa loob.
10:57Tsaka parang,
10:58it's more like,
10:59storytelling,
10:59or parang nagsusumbong,
11:01sa,
11:02sa ulap.
11:05Super satisfying.
11:07Parang,
11:08transcendental nga yung...
11:09Tsaka hindi,
11:10hindi.
11:11Nawawala tuloy,
11:11hindi ka conscious na,
11:14may tao na kinigsakap mo.
11:17Ano sa Sabelia.
11:18Ay,
11:18wala siya sa to.
11:19Ay sharp,
11:19ay flat,
11:20or whatever.
11:21Ay,
11:22ang timpla ng ano.
11:23Ang daming,
11:24walang katapusan noise eh.
11:26Pero kung,
11:27yun niya,
11:27yung ganon,
11:30almost like,
11:31uh,
11:32attribute,
11:34attribute to the cosmos,
11:36if you will.
11:37Or,
11:37it's a kind of worship to whatever,
11:40I or self you,
11:42you can imagine.
11:43I think,
11:44that's what I've tried to,
11:45to aim for.
11:47The emotion I'm trying to aim for,
11:48when,
11:49when I'm singing.
11:50Especially original songs,
11:51or songs that,
11:52I've written myself.
11:53Okay.
11:54So,
11:55it's not new to you,
11:56na magkakaroon ng criticisms,
11:57di ba?
11:58I just want to,
11:59know your thoughts,
12:00when it comes to that.
12:01Kasi,
12:02sabi mo kanina,
12:03di ba growing up,
12:04you have,
12:05parents who are,
12:07artists,
12:08and,
12:08that's why you,
12:09you are,
12:10as a kid,
12:11you were very hard on yourself.
12:12And,
12:13when it comes to that,
12:13I'm sure,
12:14there are more criticisms,
12:15so how would you handle that,
12:16as a singer,
12:17or as an artist?
12:19I don't see myself,
12:20as a singer.
12:24I like making songs,
12:25I like writing lyrics.
12:29Ang hirap palisin yung influence,
12:31I have many influences,
12:32because I enjoy,
12:34many,
12:35many,
12:35different,
12:38musicians,
12:38and singers,
12:39and songwriters,
12:40but,
12:41I'm trying to,
12:43take away,
12:44the influences,
12:45and see,
12:46it's not my fault.
12:48But,
12:51your question is,
12:52how would I take criticism?
12:54I know,
12:54it's not for everyone.
12:56And,
12:56I think,
12:59I think it's,
13:00for example,
13:00in painting,
13:05you can use many things,
13:07as criteria,
13:08as basis,
13:09for whether,
13:10this person,
13:10did a good job,
13:11or not.
13:11For example,
13:12you can say,
13:13the use of color,
13:14the use of texture,
13:15the use of composition,
13:16the use of shapes,
13:17and blah, blah, blah.
13:18Those,
13:19all those things are valid.
13:20But,
13:20the most important,
13:21and I think the only important thing,
13:23you should base it on,
13:25what was this person going for?
13:28Not,
13:29what you would,
13:30what you would go for.
13:31So,
13:32in music,
13:33ganon din,
13:35parang,
13:35depende eh.
13:36Kunwari ako,
13:37hindi ako,
13:38for example,
13:39Mr. Denjana,
13:40for rap.
13:41Sabi natin,
13:42hindi ako ganun ka familiar sa rap.
13:43For example,
13:44hindi ko gusto talaga rap.
13:46Pero,
13:46pag may narinig ako na rap na kata,
13:48if,
13:48I should judge it by,
13:50what this person was going for.
13:52Not my preference.
13:54Just because,
13:54hindi ko hiling,
13:55ibig siya,
13:56he did do a good job.
13:57Hindi.
13:57What was he going for?
13:59Was he going for a certain,
14:00be it our energy,
14:01or the ano,
14:03did he succeed or not?
14:05Did he achieve what he set out to do?
14:07That's the basis.
14:08Not me,
14:09I shouldn't be the basis.
14:10So,
14:11same thing with criticizing anything.
14:13Diba?
14:13What was this person going for?
14:15It shouldn't be based on that.
14:17Right.
14:17So, para matter of perspective.
14:19Yes,
14:19it's,
14:21yeah,
14:21it can cater to everyone.
14:23For example,
14:24if I do a song in blues,
14:25and not everyone likes blues,
14:27um,
14:29I mean,
14:29I'm laughing about it.
14:31It's not for everyone.
14:32I know that.
14:33And I'm not trying naman,
14:35I'm not trying to make something,
14:37to please everyone.
14:39Although I know that,
14:40you know,
14:40since music is such a universal medium,
14:44uh,
14:45there's a big chance that it will resonate with a lot of people.
14:48There will no pressure.
14:49If it doesn't resonate with you,
14:50it's fine.
14:51You don't have to force yourself.
14:53Diba?
14:54Diba?
14:54Diba?
14:55Even Twitter?
14:55So,
14:56before I went here in the office,
14:59um,
14:59I asked my,
15:00uh,
15:01female office maids,
15:02kung anong gusto nilang malaman from you,
15:05suCO.
15:06Yung question sila pang forum lang ito.
15:09Sure, sure, sure.
15:09So, what should guys look for, what should women look for men when it comes to romantic relationships?
15:30What should women, sitting in the door, honestly.
15:33Yung mga long-term kumbaga, so alam mo yun.
15:38Pag babae ka, huwag ka kukuha ng lalaki na kayang-kayang mag-controll it.
15:44Kasi mabubor ka lang.
15:46Akala mo lang gusto mo, pero hindi mo gusto.
15:50At mo, kakikukuha ng hindi mo na makontrol at all.
15:54Pero yung tama lang na hirap ka, pero achievable.
16:00Just like anything.
16:02In any sport, for example, o masyado madali, hindi ka interesado.
16:05Pag sobrang hirap na hindi na makontrol, hindi ka interesado.
16:08Pero kung nandun siya na ang hirap, pero achievable.
16:12Kaya ko, kaya ko.
16:13So, ganoon sa kanila in terms of, ano to eh, umbaga, nahihirap kundulit.
16:22Pero, kaya.
16:24Yun, ganoon.
16:25Words of wisdom from Ian.
16:27So, ano naman yung mga red flags that women should look out for, watch out for, pagdating sa men?
16:35Ah.
16:36This, I'll tell you a personal thing that I really, really hate.
16:39I'm so judgmental, unapologetically, about this.
16:43When I see the disparity of how, for example, um, you see this person talk to someone of a certain
16:53influence.
16:54For example, akawisap niya, a governor.
16:57Ay, go, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na,
17:05na.
17:06Turn off talaga.
17:08Um, kasi una-una, it tells me so many things about that person.
17:12But you think it's a hierarchy.
17:13And you think you're inferior to other people.
17:16And you think you're superior to other people.
17:18And it's like, sa akin, that's a mediocre, no?
17:20Because, wala, it's a web.
17:24It's a web, um, na parang, kung paano ka makipag-uusap,
17:29sa pinakamanayang, kay Elon Musk.
17:32At paano ka makipag-uusap dun sa gwardiya,
17:34na nagsisenya sa'yo sa paglumalabas ka ng kotse,
17:37should be super consistent.
17:40Kung may diferensya, sige, kaya palakas konti.
17:42Konting-konti.
17:43Pero yung sobong layo, parang sobong turn off sa...
17:47So, mabahay, watch how they treat people na walang pakinabang sa kanila.
17:55For example, how they treat waiters,
17:57how they treat security guards,
17:59how they treat their kasambahay and stuff.
18:02So, what's there, that's where you'll see
18:06if this person is someone you want to spend the rest of your life with or not.
18:12Got it, got it.
18:13Yan, ganda na example mo.
18:15After the last question ko, kasi showbiz lang ako.
18:18A few years ago, I watched the video of you and Bea Alonzo.
18:22Alam mo yan yung sa YouTube?
18:24Yung ano na, sa channel niya?
18:26Yes, I was about co-star kayo.
18:29Now she's reportedly getting married, so...
18:32I'm so happy for her.
18:33Super, super happy for her.
18:36In fact, before that came out, I saw her in one event.
18:42Recent lang?
18:43Medyo, fairly recently.
18:45And then, I said,
18:47I'm so happy for her.
18:48I said,
18:48I know, I know, let's catch up, blah, blah, blah.
18:54And, um...
18:55Yun, I...
18:57That's noong nakita ko yung news na parang kasas.
19:00Yeah.
19:01Wow.
19:02I know she wants that.
19:05And she deserves all the happiness.
19:08Because, uh...
19:11Tagal, ang tagal na niyang...
19:15Inahanap sa puso niyang to connect with someone na talagang...
19:21Ganun yung connection.
19:23I hope this is it.
19:24I'm glad she finally found someone to...
19:28To have that deep a connection to want to spend the rest of her life with this person.
19:33Galik.
19:34Any love advice for her?
19:36Or, pwede rin naman kahit kaninong babae when they are...
19:40When they finally found the person that they are going to settle down with.
19:47It's the most beautiful thing, but it's also one of the hardest things.
19:54That, uh...
19:55It's hard in them.
19:57Maintaining relationships, especially with someone that close,
20:03And someone, uh...
20:05Iba yung upbringing sa'yo.
20:06Iba yung kalaki sa inyo.
20:08It's like...
20:08Ang hirap na.
20:09Kaya sa kang magkapatid niya, eh.
20:11Lumaki kayo sa isang bahay.
20:13Lumaki kayo sa parehong magulang.
20:14Parehong lahat.
20:15Parehong school.
20:17Pero nag-aaway parin mo na.
20:18So, imagine, you know, from different backgrounds.
20:21Different families.
20:22So, it's hard work, but it's...
20:24It's super rewarding.
20:26Especially when the kids come.
20:28Ayun lang.
20:29Iba yung pishu.
20:30Olah, calm.
20:31Béla.
20:32Béla.
20:43Béla.
