Despite his hesitation, he decided to push through for the sake of his career.
“But sabi ko, pero yun yung totoo eh. That’s real,” he added.
The singer shared that being transparent helped listeners connect with him on a deeper level.
Over time, Maki learned to balance openness and privacy.
“Pero as time goes by naman, na-le-learn ko naman to set boundaries din,” he explained.
He emphasized that while he values honesty, not everything has to be shared in his music.
The artist also reflected on the success of Kahel na Langit, which resonated with a wide audience.
“Actually, hindi nga lang Gen Z ang naka-relate dito eh,” he noted.
He said the song captured the feeling of remembering someone no longer present in one’s life.
Maki revealed that his songwriting often comes from personal experiences, films, and poetry.
“For 'Kahel na Langit' kasi, I describe love as fleeting and forever at the same time,” he shared.
When asked about heartbreak, the singer gave a heartfelt response.
“Para sa akin, worst heartbreak is yung splitting up with your best friend,” he admitted.
He added that outgrowing people can be one of life’s most difficult emotional experiences.
Maki is a rising Filipino singer-songwriter known for his soulful R&B and alternative pop sound. He skyrocketed to mainstream fame with hit singles like "Saan?" and the chart-topping 2024 anthem "Dilaw." His music is celebrated for its emotional vulnerability and "soft boy" aesthetic, resonating deeply with a younger generation of OPM fans. As a Tarsier Records artist, he continues to dominate digital charts and sell out solo concerts across the Philippines.
In another report, Maki shared that growing up as one of 17 siblings prevented him from fully enjoying his childhood. He started taking singing seriously at 13 but struggled with confidence, especially when performing in front of large crowds, according to ABS-CBN. As an introvert, he turned to games and the arts as outlets during his younger years. Eventually, the encouragement from his parents and siblings helped him pursue a music career despite the early hurdles.
Meanwhile, the OPM hit artist, Dionela tied the knot with longtime partner Meizy Mendoza in a private garden-themed ceremony attended by close family and friends. Host Aiyana Perlas shared touching moments from the event and expressed gratitude for being trusted as the emcee. Several personalities from the music industry, including Paolo Valenciano and Nico Faustino, were also present. The wedding took place four months after Dionela’s emotional onstage proposal during his concert at New Frontier Theater.
