00:00So can you tell us more about SINING, how did the project come to be?
00:11SINING happened because Dionela has been singing my songs ever since I was 5 years old,
00:20so he's always wanted to do a collaboration with me.
00:23So finally, he found a friend that I know.
00:27He found her and we exchanged information.
00:32But what solidified our collaboration is that we met at the RX Concert Series
00:38because my wife, Mika, is a guest there and Dionela is also there.
00:43I didn't know that was happening, so I just went there, I came from work,
00:48I went to Mika, and I saw Dionela playing guitar on the floor,
00:53and she was singing because it was her set.
00:56I heard her and I was really impressed.
01:00After the set, I called her and said,
01:02Bro, you're really good, I'm really interested in doing a collab,
01:07so here's my information.
01:10And it's amazing.
01:12Of course, on the way home, I did some research on her,
01:17and I saw that her viewership was really high.
01:20At the time, she had 2.1 million monthly listeners, and I had 500,000.
01:28So I was like, wow, this is okay.
01:31But it wasn't the numbers that decided why I wanted to do a collab with her.
01:38I saw that she was kind, very talented, very driven.
01:42That's what inspired me to do a collab with her.
01:47So she sent you the song, that's how it happened?
01:51Yeah, she sent me a voice note that she was just playing the guitar,
01:56and she sang the verse.
01:58She sent it to me, I heard it, it was beautiful.
02:01I said, shoot, this is a hit.
02:03Send me the instrumental.
02:05I was also inspired to write it, so when she sent it to me,
02:09it was even better because it was already recorded.
02:12The guitar was already recorded, the vocals were already properly recorded,
02:15so I already had the direction.
02:17So I wrote my verses, and our vocals were already meshed.
02:24What do you like the most about the song?
02:26Maybe the time it took to make it, and the fact that you made it.
02:30For sure, the melody.
02:33In the voice note, I couldn't really hear the lyrics,
02:37but I could hear the melody.
02:39It was really catchy, and the melody was very beautiful.
02:42Especially when it was clear, when she sent it to me,
02:48I could see the lyrics, I could hear it.
02:50So I already knew at that time that it was a masterpiece.
03:01With a curvy figure, voice of an angel like a symphony,
03:08No doubt she's a masterpiece.
03:12Were you surprised by the reception and the reaction of the people?
03:16What did you feel when you filmed it?
03:19There were a lot of people who liked it.
03:21Well, I know people will like it because the song is really beautiful.
03:26I was surprised when we were number 1 on all platforms.
03:31We were number 1 for 25 days,
03:33and even more of a surprise,
03:35we were able to enter the top 60 global charts,
03:40and there were no Filipinos doing it yet.
03:42We were the first Filipinos.
03:44So there were a lot of surprises, until now, everyday.
03:47Now, our next surprise that we're anticipating,
03:52is 2 million streams a day.
03:54We're already at 1.9 million.
03:56So it's a very exciting time now.
04:00Have you guys talked about it?
04:02The success of the single?
04:04Did you talk about it?
04:06Her reaction and...
04:08Yes, we always call each other.
04:10Everytime we have a milestone to achieve,
04:12we call each other.
04:14Bro, come on, let's do this.
04:16Because I also monitor her monthly listeners.
04:20And today, she hit 7.5 million.
04:23So I asked her,
04:25Bro, 7.5 million, you're so good.
04:27Then she'll call me back,
04:29Bro, you're already at 7 million.
04:31So every milestone, we call each other.
04:34It's cool because we've been friends for a long time.
04:39What do you think makes it very appealing to Filipino listeners?
04:43Why is it a hit?
04:45Well, I think,
04:47the singing is very appealing.
04:49Because, first of all, the melody,
04:51it's very beautiful.
04:53And when you hear the lyrics,
04:57there are meanings,
04:59there are hidden gems around the lyrics.
05:02And there's a lot going on.
05:05You're getting stimulated from the melody.
05:08You're getting stimulated from the nice lyrics.
05:10And there are words that you can't understand,
05:13like nukoshe.
05:15A lot of people ask me, what's nukoshe?
05:18Nukoshe is an expensive painting.
05:24It's a French word, but it's made in Italy.
05:27So other people are searching for it.
05:30So they really have to listen to the song again.
05:33Like, what word is that?
05:35So there are a lot of factors why they always play the songs.
05:40And then, not only that,
05:42Dayanela's voice is different.
05:48It's authentic, it's original.
05:52There's nothing like that.
05:54It's soundproof.
05:56And then, I went in.
06:03So, the contrast of our voices is gelling very well.
06:08It became like a boy band type.
06:10It's like a boy band.
06:12That's how it happens.
06:14Because the voices are different.
06:17And that's how it happens to us.
06:19When Dayanela goes in, the voice tone is different.
06:23And when I go in, the tone is different.
06:25So there's always something new in the song.
06:27And people just want to keep listening to it.
06:29What's up, Pepster?
06:31This is your boy, JR.
