Singer-songwriter Brei became the newest addition to the ever-growing roster of recording artists under Universal Records. Coming from a family of musicians, Brei had been participating in singing competitions ever since she was a young girl, including Idol Philippines back in 2022. And while she did not win the title, that didn’t stop her from pursuing a music career.
Brei was signed by Universal Records last year, and she released her first-ever single, “Eh Di Pasensya Na,” a pop-rock song loaded with emotions. It captured the feeling of indifference following a difficult breakup, with lyrics reflecting on the transition from a once-beautiful relationship to one filled with regrets: “Kung di ka makalimot, di ko na kasalanan, di sumasagi alaala mo sa’king isipan.”

“Eh Di Pasensya Na” drew heavy inspiration from the artist’s relationship with her ex-partner, as well as the personal experiences of people close to her. Ultimately, the song spoke to anyone who had struggled with a bitter past. “Para talaga ‘to sa mga tao na akala nila okay na both sides pero sobrang dami pa palang sinasabi ng ex nila,” she explained.
To promote her debut single, Brei released a visualizer on Valentine’s Day and went live regularly on her TikTok account, which had over 220,000 followers. She was already popular on the platform, with several of her videos garnering millions of views.
With a catchy debut single, a unique voice, and a quirky sense of style, Brei proved to be someone to look out for this year.
