When In Manila, French singer, songwriter and former international reporter, Julien Drolon’s charismatic stage presence and feel good music has made him the music biz’s latest artist to follow in the Philippines. After a series of successful shows in Hong Kong at the Music Matters Festival, Julien decided to launch officially his career in the Philippines in 2011.

 

His pop music is a mix of different genre such as funk, rock, soul combined with positive lyrics about peace, love, freedom and the Philippines. The french artist visited for the first time Manila in 2007 and felt in love with the country and its people, then he came back several times in the Philippines between 2008 and 2010. In April 2011, Julien started a SM Mall Tour and performed in more than 20 cities around Metro Manila.

 

Following the success of his first SM Tour, Julien and his manager Chris Librojo revived the acclaimed hit song Ipagpatawad Mo with Jack Rufo, guitarist of Neoclours and one of the Philippine Music industry’s most sought after pop producer and session guitarists. Ipagpatawad mo (Pardonne-moi in french) is a romantic song in tagalog and french that will delight the fans of OPM music. Filipinos will soon realize that French and Tagalog can sound very good together as both languages are romantic and beautiful. In August 2011, Julien and his video production team went to Paris to start the making of Ipagpatawad Mo. 

 

 

Some parts of the video were also shot in the Philippines with the collaboration of Ms Venus Raj who will appear in her first music video. The beauty and the elegance of Ms Universe Philippines 2010 made her the best candidate to be part of this project.
