Christian Bautista

If you think about the newest generation of OPM icons, I can definitely say Christian Bautista is on top.

It was 10 years ago, that I first fell in love with Christian’s music, of course who can forget the song “The Way You Look At Me”.  10 years ago, I was a budding young DJ at a local radio station doing the morning show and a late evening show.

I couldn’t play more of the The Way You Look At Me on my morning slot since I was not allowed to play more ballads. So, I made up during my late night slot. Continue reading Christian Bautista, Is He Fit To Be Called An OPM Icon? →

Clear Channel (CC), the largest radio network in the US is now the first to pay artist and labels royalty fee for every music played over the air.

The deal was made between CC and country music label Big Machine Label Group.

Before, only composers were given their due for every song aired.

The Overtones Versus Overtone

Leave a comment
The Overtones

Don’t get confused! Both of these bands are great, vocally.

But not only do they have very similar band names but they also have the same, well not really sound, but the same feel.

Both of these bands are basically acapella groups or those who rely on vocals rather with instruments.

Although they have already spawned their own commercial records and albums, they still stick to their roots. So we can’t really help but compare these two groups.

The Overtones Versus Overtone, who do you think is better? Continue reading The Overtones Versus Overtone →

Urban station Power 106 FM in Los Angeles, California, is among the top rated music stations in the area. And among the most popular DJs here is DJ P-Jay, who happens to have a Pinoy blood.

Straight from Los Angeles, California, Phillip Sison, a.k.a. DJ P-JAY, began his career of becoming a DJ with two old
school tape deck players with his two older brothers in 1996.

A year later, P-JAY and his brothers invested in two turntables, a mixer and the whole nine yards. Honing his skills with
much practice in his garage, so called “studio,” he has set himself apart to be unique in his own way of mixing. Continue reading DJ P-Jay Makes Waves in L.A. Club Scene, Radio Power 106 FM →
