A pride of Sorsogon, Vincent Jao III’s been gaining recognition and praise for his warm and welcoming voice accompanied by his smooth and chill music style, and he’s visited OPM Highlights to share a bit more on this and his latest single.
Like many artists today, Vincent is keeping up with the changes brought by the pandemic, not letting the new normal stand in the way of his art and passion. “During the pandemic, parang umiikot lang ang buhay ko sa online schooling and kapag may breaktime gagawa ako ng kanta, and gumagawa rin ako ng mga covers and post them on my social media accounts.”
Vincent is pessing on in pursuing his musical career, releasing his latest single ‘Kung Ikaý Mawawala’ -and we’re definitely here for it. Performed on OPM Highlights, the track is a pop
ballad driven by soft plucks of guitar and percussion that builds up into power throughout the song along with Vincent’s beautiful tone and melody- depicting the idea of moving on yet
remaining hopeful in the experience of losing someone special.
His musical influences are mostly lounge-like, smooth and jazzy artists such as Michael Bublé and Frank Sinatra, and this ultimately resonates in the young singer’s clear and heartfelt voice. When ask what inspired him to take on a pop ballad direction for this new single, he shares that the mellow sound and genre is also a part of his taste in music. “Hilig ko rin kasi yung ganitong type ng music, like mga easy-listening songs. Sobrang fan ‘din ako ng mga soul singers.”
Hear and feel every emotion in Vincent Jao III’s release of ‘Kung Ikaý Mawawala’, now available on all major digital streaming platforms including Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon.
