Yeng Constantino, a name resonates to everyone in the Philippine music scene, has embarked on yet another musical venture, captivating audiences with her latest single, "Babala." After 17 remarkable years in the industry, Constantino continues to evolve, staying true to her roots while fearlessly exploring new musical territories.

An unusual combination from two different genre of music but put together to give a wonderful musicality in this coming month of Hearts.

During the press conference the two performers gave their insights about their journey and what they are planning ahead of them. Joey G. shared his transition from being in a band and coming out as a solo artist while Rey Valera with his recent medical breakthrough he explained that he's no longer expecting what is planned but instead he trust to what the divine one  has planned.

Yeng Constantino, one of the female artists, I consider a rock not only with her music but with her personality as well. It's great to hear another songs from her again as she goes back to her roots in her newest song “Sana Na Lang,” a pop rock track which she recorded with her bandmates and longtime friends, Gray Sky Sun.

Reminiscent of her sound during her early years in the music industry, “Sana Na Lang” is effortlessly complimented by Gray Sky Sun’s impressive musicality and the pop rock princess’ unique tone.

Produced under Star Music, the single explores a person’s yearning for another’s love and affection, despite the hopelessness of their situation. It expresses the person’s desire to be seen by the object of her affection and for fate to be on her side in her quest for romance.

The first Grand Star Dreamer of “Pinoy Dream Academy,” Yeng is one of the most versatile singers in the country. Her albums have consistently been awarded gold or platinum statuses, apart from making surefire hits like “Hawak Kamay,” “Salamat,” “Chinito,” and “Ikaw.” She’s also part of the rich roster of talented artists under ABS-CBN Music—home to many of the best OPM music of today from the country’s leading media and entertainment company, ABS-CBN.

Listen to Yeng’s “Sana Na Lang” single on Spotify, iTunes and Apple Music and watch out for its music video on ABS-CBN’s Star Music YouTube channel. Her upcoming album is slated for release in March next year. For more details, like Star Music on facebook.com/starmusicph, and follow it on Twitter and Instagram @StarMusicPH

One of today's great singer and artist, Michael Pangilinan, curve his name in the music industry more after joining the prestigious celebrity competition of ABS CBN's "Your Face Sounds Familiar". Though 1st Runner Up in the said competition he did made a good impression to the public and to the viewers that his a total package, talent, voice, the looks and stage presence. Due to the clamor of supporters and fans he has made another album for everyone to enjoy listening at.

If you're one of those eager and die-hard fans of Toni Gonzaga, you're probably looking forward for the release of her seventh album.  Yes Toni Gonzaga releases her newest album under Star Records.  Kwento Ni Toto shares the latest of the Ultimate Multimedia Star as she unleashed the songwriter in her through the album entitled "Celestine."

It carries the original track, "This Love Is Like," which she co-wrote with seasoned composer and album producer Jonathan Manalo and "Awit Ni Ginny," a song based on her character's name in Star Cinema's box-office hit movie "Starting Over Again," where she starred with Piolo Pascual. She composed it while waiting on the set of the film.

Kwento Ni Toto shares the partnership of Universal Records with the Philippine Popular Music Festival (PhilPop) for the production of the festival’s 2013 commemorative album. This is their first partnership which proved to be a beautiful one as it yielded hits like Dati (performed by Sam Concepcion, Tippy Dos Santos and Quest), Sayo Na Lang Ako (Karylle), Araw, Ulap, Langit (Christian Bautista), Sana Pinatay Mo Na Lang Ako (Kimpoy Feliciano), Segundo (Yael Yuzon), among others.

Lani's all-Filipino track album is titled "The Nightingale Returns: Lani Misalucha Sings the Greatest Filipino Songbook." It features 12 OPM songs including its carrier single "Muli", and Lani's hair-raising collaborations with Journey frontman Arnel Pineda in "Maging Sino Ka Man" and Angeline Quinto, KZ Tandingan, and Yeng Constantino in the track "May Bukas Pa".

 Kwento Ni Toto shares momentous event for two of the renowned artists in the Philippine Music Industry.  We always feature these two artists here in this blog whenever they have something new for the listeners and music aficionados.  Undeniably these two artists are indeed the biggest OPM acts of today and each are masters of their own genres, Platinum Singer-Songwriter Noel Cabangon and OPM Rap Genius Gloc-9.

One of Kwento Ni Toto's favorite voice, yup it's none other than Zia Quizon.  She is one of the many Pinoy Singers that I love to listen.  Grateful and thankful that I was given a chance to see and hear her sing in person.  She looks more likely of her mother in person.



Her first album was great and that's why I was eager to hear more from her.   The first album launch was the propeller that shoots her right on top by balancing the sound of jazzy and folky voice.  She indeed prove herself that she could breath life to the OPM industry.   So, now she's back with her sophomore album to entice more Pinoy listener to enjoy more of the OPM.  Completing her track are eight original cuts including Zia's own compositions and two classic revivals.  Her album is released under PolyEast Records.

OPM fans here's your chance to get serenaded by two of the well known OPM artist in the country this coming June 21 and 22.  Yup, it's Aiza Seguerra and Noel Cabangon together in one OPM hits concert show.

If you have heard Aiza Seguerra and Noel Cabangon sing live then you'll definitely want to hear them more but if this is your first time to hear both of them live then don't waste any more time slouching on your couch, get and buy your tickets.  Enjoy OPM music at its best and specially sung by two of the best.

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.

Dream Big! As the Pinoy Dream Academy or PDA hailed Yeng Constantino as the grand Star Dreamer. Yeng Constantino made her dreams come true even more when her song “Hawak Kamay” became a hit and after four albums with a long list of chart-toppers earned her the title as the Philippines' Rock Princess.

Shown during her stay in PDA her love for writing songs and performing eventually became a passion to bring back OPM back to the mainstream and give Filipino musicians the recognition from all over the world. Last year when she performed at the Academy of Rock in Manila made that dream came into reality. After that performance , her song “Salamat” was included in the syllabus of the Academy of Rock and people behind the school namely Jeremy Ward of Rockschool UK, Charles Lim and Priscilla Teo of Academy of Rock in Singapore decided to give her an Honorary Licentiate Diploma. Yeng is the 7th person to be give this award among artists from all over the world for being a top notch performer and musician.

If you're still in the blank mood, well, the lady is none other than the little Duday in the sitcom.  That little cutie is no longer little, she have grown now and taking the name Isabelle De Leon in the music industry.  Yup, she's into music and her genre is somewhat uncommon because she's more into rock just like Yeng Constantino but on a different league.

Talents are given to people but mastering it with different priorities makes it hard to stand out of it.  JM De Guzman is one those artist that I'm sure got master his craft, as an artist.  Not only that his been dubbed as ABS-CBN's Prince of Drama, he knows as well how to sing and play the guitar.  I saw it once during his appearance at Gandang Gabi Vice.  Success!  Yes!  So after the successful release of his debut album, ABS-CBN’s Prince of Drama, JM De Guzman, is here once again to captivate the hearts of fans with his newest album, TENSIONADO!

TENSIONADO means tense or nervous but for JM De Guzman TENSIONADO is his newest album offering for his fans.  Released under Ivory Music & Video, “Tensionado” is a collection of JM De Guzman’s renditions of his favorite songs featuring “Have I Told You Lately” by Rod Stewart, “Lost In Space” by Lighthouse Family , “Don’t Give Up On Us” by David Soul and “Tensionado” by Soapdish. In addition, you surely wouldn’t want to miss JM’s collaboration with singer Jaq Dionisio of Kiss Jane in the hit Itchyworms song “Akin Ka Na Lang”, the track chosen to be the album’s carrier single. Acoustic Diva Suy also showcased her soulful and relaxing voice in her duet with the singing heartthrob in the special track “Terrified”.
