Warner Music Launches Global OPM Campaign

Warner Music Philippines (WMP) has officially launched GLOPM or Global Pinoy Music, a collaborative movement which strengthens its global effort to promote Filipino music. The campaign aims to showcase Pinoy musicians through borderless platforms while creating opportunities for them to team up with other artists around the world.

WMP is pairing domestic talent with Filipino producers and/or Fil-global artists through GLOPM. The initiative aims to be a leading source of original and diverse Filipino music, with tracks that reflect the culture and shared experiences of every Filipino. With this, WMP makes it possible for domestic and international musicians to learn from each other, as well as create music that will resonate with Pinoys across the globe.

WMP A&R Manager Kelley Mangahas said GLOPM is an initiative to provide more opportunities for Filipino artists’ music to be heard while also assisting them in elevating their sound.

“GLOPM aspires to make Filipino artists be felt, seen, and heard on the world stage. WMP will be utilizing its resources as a record label and leveraging global expertise and knowledge in music production into Philippines.”

WMP Managing Director Sarah Ismail said she is elated to showcase Filipino talent to the global community,

GLOPM has launched its first set of releases. Indie-pop duo Leanne & Naara collaborated with internationally acclaimed producer August Rigo, who is known for his work with Justin Bieber, Chris Brown, Sean Kingston and BTS among many others, for the single titled “Anticipation.”

“It is such a privilege to work with such a talented and hands-on producer like August. Brian Lotho, our debut album producer, has also worked with him before. We are very familiar with his excellent work with Justin Bieber, Chris Brown, BTS and many other amazing artists,” said Naara.

“Leanne & Naara have really great voices which is what I look for first in an artist. Deeper than, that I heard progression and forward movement in listening to their previous projects which I really loved. I wanted to be a part of their evolution because I loved where they were going with the direction of their music,” said Rigo.

reon on the other hand, recorded “Back To The Times” with Grammy-nominated record producer Xerxes Bakker who worked with Maroon 5, Snoop Dogg, Imagine Dragons, Cee-Lo Green, Ella Eyre, Tungevaag and Quintino.

“They gave me a pure and contemporary indie-pop vibe. They have such great voices combined with inspiring lyrics and melodies. Mega talents. We went effortlessly through the song. The aesthetic state of ‘Back To The Times’ gave me so much inspiration. I just needed to enhance the beautiful essence of the demo,” said Xerxes of reon.

“Good Old Days” by Quest was recorded with award-winning production duo Kuya Productions, who gained mainstream popularity with collaborations with Christina Aguilera, Jesse McCartney, Alessia Cara and Jordin Sparks, to name a few.

“Good Old Days” reveals bittersweet truths about living--or surviving--in the new normal. Quest makes sure that we're both looking at the world by also looking inward—reveling in nostalgia, embracing the present and still looking forward to the future.

Warner Music Philippines also welcomes Catriona Gray as the newest addition to the GLOPM roster who wrote a song titled “Love Language” which is recorded in collaboration with prominent Australian producer Cabu.

“This is a new chapter in my life as an artist and I am honored to be a part of Warner Music Philippines’ GLOPM initiative as this movement features aspirational talent of Filipinos in the field of music. ‘Love Language’ is my first foray of songwriting and it felt like such a perfect collaboration to work with Cabu for this single,” said Catriona.
