Isn’t it amazing how music has the ability to unite people, no matter where they come from or what they believe in? It’s like a common thread that connects us all and allows us to share our stories with one another. With phenomenal artists all over the world, like Beyoncé, Madonna, Elton John, and David Bowie, the things they put out stem close to their hearts. Music is like a language that has the capacity to impact people’s lives.
Just like other artists, they started their music journey from scratch, where privileges weren’t really laid out for them. We can say they walked through bridges just to reach that destination where their hearts belong. It’s like a note that has a beat in certain parts of their lives. Similarly, this sentiment applies to Janine Teñoso, an artist who has solidified her place in the music industry as a solo artist. She is known for her famous renditions of OSTs (Original Soundtracks), such as ‘Di Na Muli’, her widely popular collaboration with Arthur Nery for their song ‘Pelikula’, and the recently released ‘Tingin’, featuring Cup of Joe.
Being in the industry since 2016, when she was included as a finalist in ‘Born To Be A Star’, Janine Teñoso surged her way into the music industry when Viva Records gave her the opportunity to showcase more of her talent by composing “Fallen”, her debut single. Since then, her artistry has grown significantly through collaborations with various artists and the release of songs that truly showcase her vocal ability. This paved the way for her to be tagged as the ‘OST Princess’ behind Filipino films.
In our country’s music scene, it often feels like a tight-knit community where artists, bound by their shared passion, form close friendships. At Janine’s recent ‘Hulaan’ event, she gathered friends like Paolo Sandejas, Shanne Dandan, and Maki, all eager to perform and share their stories with the audience through their music. Paolo’s striking visuals and music, particularly showcased in his EP ‘Bloom’, exude a calming spirit that resonates with listeners. Shanne Dandan, with her moments of brilliance and radiant smile, effortlessly commands the stage, as seen in her performance of ‘Kailan ba ako magiging masaya?’, leaving a lasting impression akin to a Sasha Velour moment. Maki, on the other hand, with his already expected yet still captivating performances, consistently elevated his artistry with hits like ‘Saan’ and ‘Kailan.’ As for Janine, her voice bridges expectations, standing out amidst a sea of talented singers. Her vocal prowess shines brightly, making her a standout in the industry, complemented perfectly by her musicality.
With her talent, Janine does more than just tell stories; she connects with her supporters. Their willingness to travel from places like Iloilo to Manila just to see her and other artists perform proves that music brings people together. Janine, along with other OPM stars, has had a significant impact worldwide. Her next song is something to look forward to, which is sure to resonate with many hearts.
