  OPM band The Juans has recently reflects about their reason of writing music while riding on the value of numbers, October 4, Monday.

  Frontman Carl Guevarra explained that their group is not downplaying the importance of numbers in the music industry. “Numbers are important; clients look at numbers. We’re not downplaying their value. But at the same time, we’re not dictated by them. Our creations aren’t driven by a desire to get huge numbers … They’re not the reason we write music,” he said in a video conference of Viva Music.

  “When your values are clear, it’s easy to make decisions and figure out where you should focus your energy. And in our case, we just want to reach our fans and everyday Filipinos through our music. Knowing that listeners can relate to our songs is a victory, whether or not the numbers reflect that. We can sleep in peace even if only a hundred people listened to our songs,” Guevarra added.

  In 2018, The Juans last dropped a studio album entitled ‘Umaga,’ which includes their popular track, ‘Hindi Tayo Pwede.’ It has been streamed for more than 170 million times on YouTube and Spotify.

  The Juans is soon to release an album for Viva Music. A kicker single of the band’s campaign entitled, ‘Dulo,’ was launched in a video conference.
