ALL ABOUT AUD

Nagoya-born and Davao-raised, Aud has been exposed to a myriad of musical genres ever since a kid. "My dad's car was my first studio," Aud said.

 

"I would sing along to a lot of my dad's CDs and pirated Music Video compilations." he added.

​

His dad bought him a Yamaha PSR-175 when he was 7 years old. Although it wasn't love at first sight, he knew he would be able to benefit from that precious gift sooner or later. And he did. 8 years after, he started to mess around with it and created his own song. Aud is also heavy into writing and battle rap. As an avid battle rap fan, Aud's creative writing bled through his lyrics.

​

Aud is best known for his group Delinquent Society, which he founded back in 2016. His great ear for music matched with his eclectic taste made him unique from his peers. Their run as a group was never seen before as they would travel all around the Philippines and gain notoriety from fans and artists. However, Aud decided to take a break from the group and focus on his solo career. He has worked with tons of artists in the Philippines including Bawal Clan, James Reid, Bret Jackson, Waiian (Kartell'em), Jetter and many more.

​

Right now, Aud has his sights set on building a fanbase not just in the Philippines but also in Southeast Asia. For him, music transcends all boundaries, cultural differences and especially language barriers. He wants to break through the mold and penetrate the Japanese market.

​

"I think, it has been here all along. I just didn't notice it before but everything I've ever liked, I've ever enjoyed and even my fashion taste has something to do with this country" Aud said.

​

Aud wants to show Southeast Asia, and soon the whole world what bravery and fearlessness sounds like. Willing to push the boundaries of song-making and genres, he will continue to push the envelope forward and bring something to the table. He wants to be the voice of the youth and to be a role model for people in this country who has given up on their dreams. He will carry on despite everything and every obstacle placed before him.
