3 Things To Know About Karencitta's Cebuana

4:10:00 PM

Another Pinay blooded artist raves the internet waves as she makes everyone dance and sing along with her music. Karencitta or Karen Ann Cabrera is a Pinay Cebuana based in Los Angeles who went viral with her music entitled "Cebuana". It is really prevalent that singing is innate with most of us Filipinos and it just couldn't stop Filipinos to go head to head with everyone when it comes to singing.

Karencitta's song "Cebuana" is first thought to be an international or foreign music because of the upbeat sound and different rhythm that is not particularly noticed in the local beat. Now what's more surprising with the music is that it is a mix of English and the local language Visaya or particularly Cebuana.  For our foreign readers Cebuana can be interpreted in two ways the one is for the native women of Cebu while the other one is the language spoken by the locals of Cebu. Cebu is one province in the Visayan region of the Philippines.

There are three (3) things to know about the "Cebuana" song why it became hit and viral.
  1. The created song, which is the Cebuana, has an international sound and beat quality that surpassed territorial music patterns. In simpler term it got an international appeal that the present generation would love to hear.
  2. The song is not only bilingual but almost multilingual because the writer of the song used different languages fused into one music. This made it even more foreign but still good to the ear music.
  3. The singer, Karencitta, show so much passion in singing the song and dancing with the beat of the music, just like any other known Filipino singers who sung out with their soul.
One more great and interesting singer to watch out for. In case you haven't heard and watched her music, check out the video below and comment away what you think of her and her music.

Wala Pang Titulo, Ron Henley's EP

9:04:00 PM

"Wala Pang Titulo" or "No Title Yet" is a debut EP of Ron Henley.  So why don't we put a title to it?  Well it is the title already and according to Ron Henley himself when asked, he'll just instantly say "None Yet".  Title or not Kwento Ni Toto brings this EP to the public and to the readers and hopefully if Ron Henley will agree will get the readers to ask to what title they think would go with this EP.  It's quite a playful title to have for a music and for a blog post.

Ron Henley have this EP as his debut but he is no newbie in industry.  He started is rapping at the age of 14 and met fellow rapper Loonie who shared the same liking for Eminem's music but basically I hear an influence of the master rapper.  Ron and Loonie formed a group called Stick Figgas and joined the 'Rap-public of the Philippines' contest in the noontime show Eat Bulaga and where they met their idol none other than the Philippines' master rapper FrancisM.  The late rapper took them under his wings and made them a part of the contest's compilation album.   Ron and Loonie eventually explored going solo but still maintaining the group.  the first two sings he wrote were "Suicide Note" and "Nandito Lang Ako" in 2006 which was included in "Critical Condition" album followed by "Kwentong Barbero" in 2008 and "Biglang Liko" in 2010.  It was through the song "Biglang Liko," which has currently more than 11 million hits on YouTube, made the executives of multi-national label MCA Music (Universal Music Philippines) take notice of this talented artist.

Meet The New Acoustic Pop Balladeer, TJ Monterde

9:31:00 PM

Kwento Ni Toto readers would possibly ask ‘Who is TJ Monterde?’ Especially once they’ve read the title of this post. For some who have been hearing and seeing TJ Monterde, he is no stranger to them but for the others who first heard his name and his music he is indeed a stranger in the music scene. Personally, this is the first time that Kwento Ni Toto has met him and was able to jam with him as well. Thanks to PolyEast Records for having a Bloggers’ Event with TJ Monterde.

So, Who’s TJ Monterde? To start with TJ Monterde is one of the known disc jockey or DJ in Cagayan de Oro then later on became a TV host of ABS-CBN’s regional show and then became a Youtube-born balladeer in which proves that he has some good entertainment package to offer. Although Monterde sang a bit in several shows in CDO and no matter how diligent his efforts during his radio stint, he has never been able to translate his command of language into songwriting and able to use social media to his advantage.

Zendee, From Random Girl to Runaway Single

9:40:00 PM

How many of you have seen or heard this random girl who became viral and a youtube sensation?  Well I'm sure only few people would say they haven't seen or heard her.  So who was this person?  Well it's none other than Zendee, the lovely girl who sung in a mall which her back and her backpack was only seen from the video.   After booming with that popularity, she became known and landed a spot on The Ellen DeGeneres show.

For me it was an opportunity being a part of the group that was able to witness and hear Zendee's first ever single.  Yes, she is now officially a recording artist.  This December 12, she releases her first single entitled "Runaway" under Warner Music Philippines.   As I heard it during the conference it was really a very soulful voice and if I didn't know that it was Zendee singing I could really mistaken her for a foreign singer.


According to her "having my own song is something that I used to just imagine.  Singers recording songs in studios were something that I used to just watch on TV.  I never thought that I will also be able to do it and with a major label at that!  I feel so blessed, this is really a dream come true!"  During the conference she was really thankful to all the blessings that are coming her way.

Her first ever single "Runaway" was about not allowing difficulties to get in the way of your dreams, just like Zendee did.  According to her as well she loves to write and sing songs that tells the story of other people.  The song "Runaway" was written by Andrew Fromm, who has also written for the likes of The Backstreet Boys, Nsync and K-ci & Jojo.  His songs appear in over 45 million albums worldwide and he is quite excited to work with a world class Filipino talent like Zendee.  Fromm shares "I'm honored to have co-written a song that I hope will skyrocket Zendee to #1.  She has a fantastic voice.  It's always insanely exciting to watch such a gifted artist record and release a song you pour your heart into.  That said, i wish Zendee nothing but the absolute best and I pray wherever Runaway is released, it's embraced by all.

Aside from being Zendee's first single and first song as a recording artist, "Runaway" is also the first local recording to be mastered for iTunes for the Philippines by Warner Music Philippines and Asia Pacific,  This means that the recording is digitally optimized for increased audio quality in digital format.
