00:00Also, you've worked with some of the Filipino artists, right?
00:04Yes.
00:05Yes.
00:06I was recently on a writing camp in Malaysia with a few Australian artists and a few Filipino
00:12artists.
00:13And we got together for a week and made a whole bunch of music.
00:16Yeah.
00:17A lot of fun.
00:18Artists that I'm sure a lot of people here know, Philippe, Lesby19, Eric Bulsang, Lola
00:25Amor were there, Player 2, Jason Decar, yeah, it was such a good time.
00:32The music we made was just incredible.
00:35And how was it working with Filipino artists?
00:38It was so cool.
00:39It was something that I've never done before.
00:41So it was very new for me and I didn't know what to expect.
00:44But everyone's so nice.
00:46Everyone is just so nice and genuine and down to earth and real and talented.
00:52Every Filipino I know, even back home in Australia, can sing like crazy.
00:56It's just a thing.
00:57You guys are blessed.
00:58I might be the exception to that.
00:59I don't know.
01:00Trust me.
01:01Compared to everyone else, the musical talent in the Philippines in general was insane.
01:09So it was really exciting working with Filipino artists that are just incredibly talented.
01:15It was so much fun.
01:16And that's another reason I'm here, so I can link back up with them.
