“It was hard at first kasi it’s a new realm I try to explore, but at the same time I try to enjoy it. I know it’s gonna be something I want to do for a long time. Malay niyo, pwede na ako maging singer, pwede na ako maging director. It was a crazy ride–– learning new things [and] being able to compromise. At the end of the day, nakagawa kami ng craft that we would be proud of,” he added.

“Artists talaga they deserve to be heard, they deserve to not take control but to add more to what they have in mind. Kung ano ‘yung meron sila within, dapat nae-express nila yun kasi ‘yun ‘yung craft nila. That’s the very essence of art,” he maintained.
