Edray releases debut album
Can you tell us about your first single
How did it change you? My first single Puedepende changed everything in me. After TVK, I strived to prove to everyone that I still have the talent even if I didn’t win. When MCA open their doors for me, and gave me the single, a lot of opportunities had come my way. People got to know me more, received an invitation for TV guestings, radio guestings and mall shows too. And I am so thankful that everyone likes my song.
What about the following single
How was it working with fellow TVK alumni Juan Karlos Labajo?
Bwelo Lang is a song that signifies love that has started from friendship and it blooms unexpectedly. It’s like puppy love that often felt by young people during their teenage years. JK, I had so much fun working with him since were both from Team Kawayan way back TVK days. I am very happy that MCA had given me this chance to work with him again and do a collaboration of this single. It’s like were just playing and enjoying every moment of it. We learned from each other strength and weaknesses during that collaboration and we had applied what we have learned from Coach Bamboo. And it turns out to be fine. It is also composed by Jungee Marcelo.
What can you say that after two singles, you finally have a debut album. I’m just so happy to finally have an album I would like to thank my recording company for this chance and also my fans for supporting me from the start. I’m just so proud of everyone who helped us to produce this album and I would like to thank them for trusting me. Not all people at my age were having this opportunity, so I am very lucky that MCA had chosen me and trusting me for this. The song “Wala Lang” is about a person that is very much in love.
I heard that you composed a song for this album, can you tell us more about it?
Yes I did. It’s called ‘ La La Lang.’ Since I was child, I am passionate with music and here’s why I love composing songs too. Every time I am happy or sad, I’m putting it into words and will turn out to be a nice song. This song best describes how simple and wonderful life it is. Enjoying every moment that counts and being happy with life.
You also have song from foreign composer Roxanne Seeman. Can you tell us more about it?
It is my privilege that MCA chose me to sing her song and include it in my album. It is about girl who likes someone and is very eager and interested to know his whereabouts. She keeps on thinking about that guy and can’t get him out of her mind. How was the recording process? The whole recording process was fun. We enjoyed every moment of it. I got to bond and meet different kinds of people inside and outside the studio who helped me finish this album. They taught me a lot of things about life and about the music industry. I’m very happy to have worked with all of them. What does music mean to you? Music means a lot to me. It is my way to express myself and my feelings. It’s something that I can go to whenever I need it. It’s something that inspires me. In short music is my life.
