THIS
2013, there are three Original Pilipino Music (OPM) acts that you must watch
out for. Young, talented, and oozing with mass appeal, they are a glimpse of
the future of the Philippine music industry.
We’re talking about rock band Letter Day Story, balladeer-songwriter Myrus, and boy band 1:43 (pronounced as
“one forty-three”). These three, who are all managed by public relations and
social media expert Chris Cahilig, have been making waves across all media
platforms.
LETTER
DAY STORY, composed of
rockers Aldrick “Dex” Yu, John Oliver “Oli” Agustin, Chrisanthony “Not” Vinzons, and Emil Joseph
“EJ” Arabit, won the Best Rock/Alternative Recording trophy at the 2012 Awit
Awards for their song “Save Me.” They won over the other nominees, who are all
more established and highly-respected bands and solo artists.
