Filipino-New Zealander, Valere, who grew up in Cebu, recently released her latest single "Stuck In My Head" and accompanying music video, shot at her auntie's house in the Philippines. She shared about her first international tour and recent visit to the Philippines with her family.

"Stuck In My Head" is a love song that pays homage to the role of music in Valere's relationship with her husband, with a 2000s vibe. With her unique sound and compelling storytelling, Valere is definitely an artist to watch out for in 2023.

There's something to be said about the South right now and the enormous amount of talent that has surfaced over the last twelve months. Case in point being Davao based act PLAYERTWO, which is a newly found project/band of creatives who have taken the internet by storm with only a handful of singles.

The group is comprised of three musicians - Ivo Impresso, Luke April and Wave P, as well two visual aids Ven Villariza and Puhken - which makes for a lethal combination of creative flare, direction and art. Following the blueprint of collectives such as OFWGKTA and BROCKHAMTOPN, PLAYERTWO have kept their production in-house which puts them at a huge advantage.

YNISH (read as wai-nish) is a super talented artist from Manila that we've gotten to know and love over the last year - who represents Dreamify Records, a start up independent record label and collective that is constantly active in their moves to be heard in the Philippines music industry.

Back in October 2022, she released the second installment to her Grapheme Color series, which was a host to five songs, and featured singles such as Dead Or Alive, OCEAN PEARL and Convenient, all of which spent 8 weeks collectively on The Chosen Dozen.
