Beyond the Norms

One of the great industry, where fellow Filipinos can show off their talent, is the ¬“Music‚¬ industry. Needless to say, a lot of local bands, single artist across the country do exist. And some even excel internationally. But what about those ‚¬“not so famous‚¬ talented people who wanted to show off their talent to everyone? How would they be recognized? With MTV, Jeepney Music, and Department of Tourism collaboration MTV Emerge is made possible!

MTV Emerge is a platform for unsigned music talent in the Philippines to showcase their work and to be given an opportunity to win a one-year recording contract with Jeepney Music. It aims to hunt for the hottest unsigned music talent from all genres of music (indie, rock, hip-hop, R&B, metal, solo artists, DJs, etc), it is also an online music community where new music from the Philippines can be discovered.

Department of Tourism: Philippines: The Department of Tourism (DOT) is the Philippine government agency responsible for encouraging, promoting and developing tourism as a major socio-economic activity, spreading its benefits to sectors of society.

Jeepney Music: Jeepney Music, created by Apl.de.Ap of the Black Eyed Peas, is not just a record label – it is an entity of change created to give back to the Philippines and the globe.

He believes that despite being in a 3rd world country, he can make it out and achieve whatever he wants with the right grinding.Further, the song conveys meaning. It does make sense!
