The Season 3 Premiere is here. Sa pagbubukas ng bagong season, hindi tayo magsisimula sa mababaw. Kasama natin si Louie Jay Owa Velasco. Frontman ng EnjointPH, lead guitarist ng The Chongkeys, and brand ambassador ng Vans at Tribal Gear. Sa loob ng 12 taon sa industriya, nakita niya ang lahat: mula sa siksikang Rakrakan Festival hanggang sa "real-life work" na kaakibat ng pagiging recording artist.Hihimayin natin ang psychology ng isang performer. Paano mo pinapatay ang "Chongkeys character" para bigyang-daan ang "Enjoint identity"? Paano mo mapapanatili ang 100% energy sa isang kantang libu-libong beses mo nang tinugtog at sawa ka na, pero 'yun ang hinahanap ng crowd?Topics Covered:The Saturation Struggle: Mas mahirap ba sumikat noon na kailangang lumabas ng bahay, o ngayon na mabilis makalimutan ang artist dahil sa dami ng ingay sa internet?Creative Friction: Ang teorya kung ang pinakamagandang kanta ba ay nabubuo sa "chill" na vibe o sa gitna ng tensyon at banggaan ng ideas.The Legacy Track: Ang isang kanta na ititira ni Owa kung kailangang burahin ang buong discography niya para sa susunod na henerasyon.---Find me anywhere: https://linktr.ee/ervinbesana
