Theย GMA Awardsย is like Taiwanโ€™s version of the GRAMMYs and since heโ€™s the first Filipino artist to ever perform there, he feels a lot of pressure yet heโ€™s so motivated.

โ€œWhile Itโ€™s definitely a lot of pressure for me to represent the Philippines and OPM as a young artist, Iโ€™m really motivated to showcase how the OPM scene has grown and diversified over the years. Despite the pressure, I couldnโ€™t be more excited!โ€ย he explains.

He adds,ย โ€œAs a music lover whoโ€™s 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, Iโ€™m beyond grateful to be on the teamโ€™s 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 Paoloโ€™s 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 โ€œHide & 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 heโ€™ll savor and cherish this month.

โ€œPeople should definitely look forward toย enjoyย some laid back indie tunes in my intimate virtual performance. Iโ€™m really excited to show you all the sets that Iโ€™ve put together, and I hope to one day perform these songs live in Taiwan,โ€ he happily shares.
