Marco Sison goes back to singing, produces own album

- WM BELEN

EVEN after trying his luck in another country and in different fields Marco Sison always comes back to his first love— singing.

“I realized na hindi ko kayang magtrabaho ng ibang klaseng trabaho. Mas gusto kong kumanta. Kasi siguro mga 16 or 17 years old pa lang ako, kumakanta na ako. So hindi ko na maalis sa sistema ko,” explained Marco who is neither joining politics nor leaving the country permanentl­y.

He added that staying in the country will be more expensive and harder. Everything will be worth it though because he is doing what he loves doing— singing, performing in shows and recording an album. Marco has recently released his newest album ( distribute­d by PolyEast Records) entitled “Isang Pagkakatao­n.”

“Isang Pagkakatao­n” contains eight cuts including its carrier single “Isang Pagkakatao­n” by Vehnee Saturno. Four other songs in the album are from Vehnee, “Selos,” “K’wento,” “Sa Isang Puso Mo” and “Kahit Na Minsan Pa.” While Edwin Marollano contribute­d the songs “Dahil Walang Ibang Mamahalin” and “Ikaw Pa.” While Marco’s compositio­n is called “Sabik na Puso.”

Despite the possible obstacles his album could face, Maroc is positive because of his new ballads. For him, the majority of Pinoy sentiments would always be on romance and love when picking an album to listen to. He also feels that his album contains potential hit songs.

“Isang Pagkakatao­n” is Marco’s latest adventure in his career as a profession­al singer, which he felt has already gone full circle. He is just relieved that he didn’t have a hard time gathering the songs for his album. In fact his own compositio­n was done within two hours. He was driving along South Super Highway, when he was inspired by a melody in his mind.

As to why an all- original compositio­n album, Marco said that he loves singing OPM love songs. He rose to fame via OPM songs so he feels it is just right to render his fans and supporters new compositio­ns. It is also his way of giving back to the OPM community.
