According to Fern., Persona:2000 represents a defining transition in both his music and mindset. “Persona to me is a transition. Trying to figure out for myself what sound I want to commit to and also just enjoying the experimentation process through it all. Persona is about bringing the fun and life back into my music. A transition not only in music but in the overall approach and mentality within the space of music,” Fern. shared.

The night reflected exactly that spirit. Guests were immersed in a fun and nostalgic atmosphere inspired by early 2000s culture, with Fern. performing tracks from the album live alongside a full band. From the visuals to the sound and overall energy of the event, Persona:2000 showcased a more fearless, vibrant, and experimental side of the artist.

The project also highlights Fern.’s collaborative spirit, bringing together an exciting lineup of artists across different genres and scenes including 2Icey, Zae, Kyla, Al James, Because, Kyleaux, Costa Cashman, and Gins & Melodies, each contributing their own unique texture, energy, and perspective to the album’s sonic world. From nostalgic R&B melodies and introspective songwriting to smooth hip-hop influences and genre-blurring production, these collaborations elevate Persona:2000 into a rich and immersive listening experience that feels both deeply personal and culturally resonant.

One of the biggest moments of the night was the unveiling of the official music video for “Giliw,” which features celebrity personality AC. A standout scene from the video, AC dancing, was revealed to have been completely impromptu and unplanned, adding to the authenticity and charm of the visual.

Released under UMG Philippines and Island Records Philippines, Persona:2000 marks a major step forward for Fern. as he continues to shape his artistic identity in real time embracing experimentation, vulnerability, and self-discovery while bringing audiences along for the journey.

More than an album launch, Persona:2000 became a reminder that music can still feel personal, exciting, and deeply communa–a space where artists and audiences grow together through sound, emotion, and shared experience.

Fern. brings listeners back to the golden era of nostalgic R&B—blending soulful melodies, raw emotion, and early-2000s energy into a sound that feels both timeless and fresh. More than just a first listen, it’s an invitation to step into the world, mood, and memories behind the album. Stream Persona:2000 here: https://ferndot.lnk.to/Persona2000MB

Earlier this year, Allyssa, who is based in Davao, went viral for her moving and technically impressive harmonization of Sienna Spiro’s song “Die On This Hill” (DOTH). Her performance stood out for its emotion, control, and sincerity, quickly gaining attention across TikTok and beyond. Viewers were drawn not just to her voice, but to the authenticity she brought to the song. When the video reached Sienna, it sparked genuine admiration and curiosity about the young Filipina singer behind the viral moment.

Touched by Allyssa’s talent and story, Sienna made a meaningful decision to fly her from Davao to Manila for a personal meeting. The gesture went beyond a typical fan interaction, reflecting Sienna’s sincere intention to connect with Allyssa in a real and memorable way. For Allyssa, who comes from a provincial background and proudly represents her Bisaya roots, the trip marked a significant and emotional milestone. It was a moment that felt both surreal and deeply affirming. 

When the two finally met, the atmosphere was filled with excitement, gratitude, and quiet emotion. They recreated Allyssa’s now-viral DOTH harmonization together, this time standing side by side. In a standout moment, Sienna paused midway through the performance, visibly amazed by Allyssa’s voice, allowing her to take the lead. It was a simple yet powerful act that highlighted Sienna’s humility and willingness to let a young talent shine.

Sienna’s generosity extended beyond the performance itself, as she made sure Allyssa felt celebrated throughout the experience. She gifted Allyssa an acoustic guitar as a symbol of encouragement for her musical journey. She also prepared thoughtful gift bags for Allyssa and her uncle, recognizing the support system behind her. Each gesture reflected Sienna’s genuine kindness and her desire to make the moment meaningful not just for Allyssa, but for the people who have supported her along the way.

The experience continued with a thoughtful surprise from Sienna Spiro, who treated Allyssa to tickets to watch The Devil Wears Prada 2. While Sienna was not able to join her for the screening, the gesture still made the day extra meaningful for Allyssa, giving her the chance to enjoy a film closely connected to the artist she admires. Adding to the excitement, Sienna is also part of the film’s official soundtrack with her song “Material Lover,” further making the experience feel special and memorable. The simple act reflected Sienna’s warm and grounded personality, turning what could have been a brief interaction into a heartfelt memory Allyssa will always cherish. 

Following the viral success of her cover of “Die On This Hill,” Allyssa began making her mark locally by auditioning for Tawag ng Tanghalan on ABS-CBN’s It’s Showtime, where she performed the same song that first captured audiences online. Her journey from posting covers on digital platforms to stepping onto a national stage reflects the aspirations of many young Filipinos hoping to turn online recognition into real opportunities. Hailing from Davao City, Allyssa represents a new wave of provincial talent breaking through through the power of social media and music, inspiring viewers who see their own dreams reflected in her story.

This meeting between Sienna Spiro and Allyssa highlights the powerful connection between artists and fans in the digital age, while also shining a light on the growing recognition of Filipino talent on a global stage. More than just a viral interaction, it reflects how genuine support and acknowledgment from artists can create meaningful impact beyond the screen. As their story continues to circulate online, it is expected to resonate widely across Philippine media and social platforms. At its core, it is a story about generosity, authenticity, and a dream moment that became real for a young Filipina talent finding her voice.

WATCH “PARTY b4 the PARTY” VIDEO HERE

In conjunction with today’s airing of the final episode of WORLD SCOUT: THE FINAL PIECE on ABEMA, HYBE x Geffen Records revealed the name of its next powerhouse global girl group: SAINT SATINE. The four-member lineup brings together three globally recognized standouts and a newly discovered force. EMILY (20, USA), LEXIE (21, Sweden), and SAMARA (20, Brazil) were first introduced through the hit Netflix docuseries Pop Star Academy: KATSEYE, where they quickly drew a devoted international following. 

The search for the final member took place in Japan via a process documented on WORLD SCOUT: THE FINAL PIECE, created with and airing exclusively on Japan’s ABEMA streaming service. As revealed in the series finale, which aired early today, SAKURA (16, Japan), was selected from over 14,000 applicants to become the fourth member of SAINT SATINE.

The digital single album World Scout: The Final Piece – Finale was released globally today by HYBE x Geffen Records. The two-track album captures the intense, high-stakes finale that determined the “final piece” of SAINT SATINE. Finalists AYANA and SAKURA each demonstrated their undeniable vocal strengths and live energy as each had an opportunity to team up with group members EMILY, LEXIE and SAMARA. Download / stream World Scout: The Final Piece – Finale HERE. 

The two-track album kicks off with SAKURA performing “PARTY b4 the PARTY” alongside EMILY, LEXIE and SAMARA. The high-energy urban track explodes with intensity at every beat. Driven by playful percussion, heavy bass switches and a strong, bouncy groove, the song showcases the performers’ dynamic vocal chemistry and bold ad-libs. It is a fearless celebration of pre-party hype, proving that the best part of the night often happens before you even arrive. “WE RIDE,” featuring runner-up AYANA with EMILY, LEXIE and SAMARA, offers a warm escape from the noise of the city. Rooted in nostalgic 2000s R&B but polished with a sleek, modern edge, the song is built on silky four-part harmonies and a smooth, effortless bassline. 

View SAKURA’s winning performance of “PARTY b4 the PARTY’ with EMILY, LEXIE and SAMARA HERE. With the lineup set and anticipation building worldwide, SAINT SATINE is positioned not just to enter the global stage, but to shape what comes next. SAINT SATINE exists at the intersection of desire and transcendence—a tension where instinct meets restraint. Defined by control over excess, the group moves through contradiction with precision, balancing allure and refinement without compromise. “SAINT” symbolizes outstanding musicality and charisma and “SATINE” expresses a soft, elegant and sophisticated image.

WORLD SCOUT: THE FINAL PIECE is a large-scale scouting project led by HYBE America, which has launched numerous global artists including BTS, in collaboration with Geffen Records of Universal Music Group, one of the world’s largest music companies. The initiative follows HYBE x Geffen Records’ successful prior collaboration. In 2021, the continent-crossing music industry titans released an open call for applicants around the world with the aim of creating a group that “transcend[s] national, cultural, and artistic boundaries.” Twenty contestants were chosen from over 120,000 submissions. They then underwent a year of Korean idol-style training before competing on the Dream Academy show. The full journey was captured by the Netflix docuseries Pop Star Academy: KATSEYE. With members coming from a wide variety of cultural backgrounds, experiences and personalities, KATSEYE made good on HYBE x Geffen’s promise, earning two GRAMMY® Awards nominations and three American Music Awards nominations. The group’s second EP, BEAUTIFUL CHAOS, debuted at No. 4 on the Billboard 200. WILD, KATSEYE’s third EP will be released on August 14.

ABS-CBN’s newest online podcast, “Hot Takes,” continues to keep it real through unfiltered conversations with its most recent guest, Star Music artist and “The Secrets of Hotel 88” Kapuso star Mika Salamanca, as she shared her bold take on buzzing showbiz topics.

Streaming on the ABS-CBN Entertainment YouTube channel, the most subscribed media and entertainment channel in Southeast Asia, the podcast’s latest episode highlights Mika’s honest opinion on online hate, pressure, and pleasing the online audience.

One of her standout hot takes tackled the nature of online negativity, pointing out that attacks on artists do not always come from strangers, but can also come from people within their circle.

“Naniniwala ako na ang basher hindi lang mga taong hindi mo kilala, minsan mga taong nasa tabi mo gumagawa ng account laban sayo. Hindi mo kailangan hubaran ‘yung sarili mo para makilala ka ng ibang tao,” said Mika.

The ABS-CBN podcast continues to attract viewers with its previous episodes already generating millions of views online that feature celebrity guests such as former “Pinoy Big Brother Gen 11” housemates JM Ibarra, Fyang Smith, and Kai Montinola, and “The Alibi” star Sofia Andres.

Together, they embodied a new kind of pop act grounded in authenticity, confidence, and cultural expression.

To mark their debut, XONARA took over the historic streets of Escolta, Manila and transformed it into “XONARA’s World.” The one-day pop-up experience, held from 12NN to 10PM, turned the iconic district into a living, breathing extension of the group’s universe. Fans and passersby were swept into an immersive spectacle that blurred the lines between music, art, and community.

The event by UMG Philippines pulsed with energy through interactive installations including graffiti walls, DIY charm stations, and a high-engagement stamp rally that ignited social media activity. Every corner of the space invited participation, self-expression, and discovery. A curated pop-up bazaar further amplified the atmosphere, spotlighting local fashion, thrift culture, and street creativity at its finest.
At the heart of it all was a defining moment as XONARA delivered their first live public performance after their official debut.

The event captured attention, sparked conversation, and cemented XONARA as one of the most exciting new acts to watch. As they step forward, they carry with them a growing community ready to be part of a world that is only just beginning.

About Evanescence
When Evanescence stormed onto the scene in the early 2000s, they introduced a sound that captured the world’s attention. Their debut album Fallen became one of the most critically and commercially successful releases of the 21st century, earning two Grammy Awards and achieving diamond certification in the United States. Hit singles “Bring Me to Life” and “My Immortal” propelled the band into the spotlight, while 2006’s follow-up, The Open Door, deepened an unwavering connection with fans.

Two decades later, that connection remains as strong as ever. In 2025, Evanescence reached a new career milestone, scoring their first #1 on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock Airplay chart with “Afterlife,” written for Netflix’s Devil May Cry. The band continued its momentum, with collaborations alongside K.Flay and Halsey featured in Ballerina, the fifth installment in the John Wick series. Amy scored another #1 with “End of You,” her collaboration with Poppy & Courtney LaPlante of Spiritbox.

In early June, the band will embark on its World Tour, headlining amphitheaters, and arenas in North America, followed by an arena tour in the UK, Europe, Japan, Australia and New Zealand and is expected to visit Central and South America in 2027. “2025 was a year of saying ‘yes.’ We got really busy, and I’m so glad for every single piece of it,” says frontwoman Amy Lee. “There’s no way 2026 won’t be even crazier.” With the release of Evanescence’s highly anticipated sixth studio album, Sanctuary, on June 5, that prediction is poised to come true.

That spontaneous moment has now evolved into a major international opportunity, with Jack Gray personally inviting Jenzen to join him as the special guest for the “Swimming In Jeans Tour 2026.” The tour will bring the pair across Australia and New Zealand, with stops in Auckland (September 4), Perth (September 5), Adelaide (September 6), Melbourne (September 10), Sydney (September 11), and Brisbane (September 12). The collaboration marks a significant milestone for both artists and highlights the growing global recognition of Filipino talent, proving that authentic artistic connections can create opportunities that transcend borders.

For UMG Philippines, the story reflects the power of simply putting artists in the same room. What wasn’t planned as a formal showcase or strategic meeting naturally developed into an international touring partnership, underscoring the importance of genuine collaboration in today’s music landscape. As Jack Gray continues to build a devoted global audience through his raw, introspective songwriting, bringing Jenzen along for the journey also shines a spotlight on one of the Philippines’ most promising new voices.

As anticipation builds for the “Swimming In Jeans Tour 2026,” fans are also encouraged to discover the music of Jenzen Guino, who has steadily built a loyal following through his heartfelt songwriting and captivating performances. After first gaining attention online through his viral covers, Jenzen has successfully established himself as an artist in his own right, blending contemporary pop and R&B influences with deeply personal storytelling. His growing catalog of original music continues to resonate with listeners, making this Australian tour a fitting next step in his rapidly rising career. Fans can stream Jenzen’s latest releases on all major digital streaming platforms.

Tickets for Jack Gray presents the “Swimming In Jeans Tour 2026,” with special guest Jenzen Guino, are available now through official ticketing outlets and Jack Gray’s official website and social media channels. Fans are encouraged to secure their seats early as demand is expected to be high for this intimate run of shows, bringing together one of Australia’s most compelling singer-songwriters and one of the Philippines’ brightest emerging stars.
