Looking for new vibes? Finding new music to connect with? We feel you. Sometimes, the same old stuff just doesn’t hit anymore.
There’s something cool about discovering rising artists before they blow up, and lucky for you, we’ve been deep-diving into the scene to bring you fresh sounds from names you’ll definitely want to keep on your radar. These artists are doing their own thing, sharing stories through music, and honestly? We’re just here to vibe along.
SUYEN
Growing up in Marikina with a house full of music (thanks to her dad), Suyen’s always been surrounded by sound. She picked up a guitar at 10, learned how to record her own stuff in her teens, and even opened for her dad’s gigs—no big deal.
Now, she’s channeling all that into her own thing. Suyen’s energy is straight-up bubbly, and her music? Feminine punk-rock that’s all about the chaos, feels, and fun of being young and figuring stuff out. Her debut EP is like flipping through a diary—random thoughts, catchy hooks, and all the messy, exciting parts of growing up.
If you’re feeling a little all over the place (same), her tracks might just be your new comfort playlist.
EARL AGUSTIN
You’ve probably heard Tibok—whether it’s on TikTok, Spotify, or as part of Ang Mutya ng Section E. Earl Agustin may have started with the simple dream of just making music, but now he’s topping charts and getting millions of streams. Casual.
But behind all that hype is someone grounded, honest, and deeply emotional. Earl’s songs reflect his life and faith, and each track hits with a sincerity that’s easy to connect with. Think Arthur Nery meets Addie energy—but still uniquely Earl.
If you’re into chill R&B-pop with a little hug for your feelings, you already know what to do.
YOUNG BLOOD NEET
If you’re not yet on the YB Neet wave, now’s a good time to hop on. With 8 singles out this year alone, collabs with Flow G and CK YG, and a recent Billboard PH shoutout, this guy’s not slowing down.
His tracks are all about finding identity, chasing dreams, and repping his roots—delivered with clean bars and catchy beats that don’t take themselves too seriously. Whether you’re in your “grind era” or just vibing, his music feels like a pep talk from a friend who actually gets it.
ILA
Ila’s music is like that golden hour moment when everything feels a little softer. Her dreamy, folk-pop sound wraps around you with delicate vocals and storytelling that feels straight out of a fairytale (but like, one that understands heartbreak and healing).
Inspired by Ichiko Aoba and Hozier, her songs paint vivid emotions that don’t need to shout to be felt. And yes, she’s a licensed MedTech and a full-time musician. We love a multi-talented queen.
Check out her latest single Sayaw if you’re in the mood to float.
JOLIANNE
At just 21, Jolianne’s already dropped an EP that’s four years in the making. Plain Girl is basically a coming-of-age film in music form—snapshots of love, loss, and growing up.
Her R&B-pop style feels smooth and effortless, but there’s depth in every word. Each song is personal but somehow universal—like she’s writing your story too.
If you’ve ever felt like a main character in your own messy little movie, this one’s for you.
WIMY
Not much is known about WIMY, short for When I Met You—and honestly, that adds to the mystery. What we do know is his love songs hit hard on TikTok and Spotify, with that soft indie vibe that’s perfect for those “I’m not crying, you are” moments.
He lets the music do the talking, and maybe that’s the point. Just you, your headphones, and songs that make everything else fade out.
If you’re in the mood to feel things, you know where to go.
