Young singer-songwriterย Paolo Sandejasย is the only Filipino artist chosen to perform at the upcomingย GMA (Golden Melody Awards)ย in Taiwan, which will happen thisย June 24 to 26, 2022. And according to him, itโs an amazing feeling to finally share his brand of music with the rest of the Asian music scene, while representing OPM.
โItโs amazing! Itโs definitely an honor to have an opportunity to share my music with the rest of the Asian community,โย says Paolo after finding out about this great news with the help of events companyย Karpos Multimedia, who spearheads the popular Wanderland Music & Arts Festival here in the country.
Theย GMA Awardsย is like Taiwanโs version of the GRAMMYs and since heโs the first Filipino artist to ever perform there, he feels a lot of pressure yet heโs so motivated.
โWhile Itโs definitely a lot of pressure for me to represent the Philippines and OPM as a young artist, Iโm really motivated to showcase how the OPM scene has grown and diversified over the years. Despite the pressure, I couldnโt be more excited!โย he explains.
He adds,ย โAs a music lover whoโs attended quite a few of Karposโ shows, especially Wanderland, their invitation was a dream come true. Given their reputation for showcasing up and coming acts, many of which I admire as an artist, Iโm beyond grateful to be on the teamโs radar and to have been handpicked to represent the Philippines for this event.โ
Music fans all over Asia, as well as top music executives and professionals will get to witness Paoloโs amazing musicality via his pre-recorded online performances on the 26thย of June, the final day of GMAs.
This very good news comes fresh over a week after he released the official music video of his latest single โHide & Seek.”
Paolo said that he also looks forward to performing his original songs live in Taiwan if given a chance after this terrific Golden Melody Awards & Festivalย experience that heโll savor and cherish this month.
โPeople should definitely look forward toย enjoyย some laid back indie tunes in my intimate virtual performance. Iโm really excited to show you all the sets that Iโve put together, and I hope to one day perform these songs live in Taiwan,โ he happily shares.
