Mindanao P-pop group One South credits SB19 as their inspiration

MANILA, September 14 ------ Rising P-pop group One South is bringing their music and culture from Mindanao to Manila as they begin a new chapter under Vibrant Voice Production & Talent Management Inc.

Members Jace, Drey, Jhev, Arvy, and Rover revealed that SB19 largely inspired their P-pop journey. "Nabuo po kami dahil sa SB19," Jhev said during One South's "HIYAW: Mula sa Timog" media launch in Quezon City. "Before kami naging P-pop group, we were A'TIN. One of our biggest dreams was to meet SB19. Sila ang biggest influence namin. Iba kasi yung SB19, iba dala ng talent and story nila," Jace added.

During the launch, One South performed their original songs "Galak" and "Hiyaw," as well as renditions of TJ Monterde's "Tulad Mo" and SB19's "DUNKA" and "MAPA."

"Gumamit kami ng kulintang, gumamit kami ng tribal sounds, ginamit namin sa mga kanta namin," Arvy explained. "Yung goal po namin is maibahagi yung kanta and kultura na meron tayo sa Pilipinas. Hindi lang Mindanao but culture of the Philippines."
