Bakit Kita Hahabulin by Mcoy Fundales

The newest record label in town, which will be discussed future on my blog recently launched their pioneer artist in the upcoming roster of music talents.

Mcoy Fundales, hailed from Bulacan. Dubbed as the “Musikerong Daddy” -- Mcoy Fundales is known to many as the former frontman of the band Orange and Lemons, the band who sang the franchise’s main theme, Pinoy Ako, from Pinoy Big Brother Season 1.

A self-confessed geek (graduating as Valedictorian in high school and Cum Laude from the University of the Philippines in Diliman), Mcoy never thought he could really sing and perform. He was often asked to sing in front of his class as a practical joke in high school. Mcoy found this embarrassing and he vowed to learn how to sing. He made true to his promise when he joined the school and church choir in his hometown of Baliwag, Bulacan.

What started out as a musical hobby led to him forming and playing in bands with schoolmates. It was when Orange and Lemons was formed and launched that they enjoyed enormous critical and commercial success as a band. Their hits include the songs Hanggang Kailan, Yakap sa Dilim, Heaven Knows, Blue Moon amongst others. Life went on for Mcoy after his stint in PBB and Orange and Lemons and started a band after that named KENYO.

Mcoy is is now back on track on his colorful musical career after being busy doing something he is also passionate about which is script writing. It's been 5-6 years when he started writing for TV. A writer and producer for GMA Network's various shows including Pepito Manaloto where he learned a lot from the genius Bitoy Micheal V. According to him, his love for writing started when he attended a script writing workshop of Ricky Lee and the rest is history.

The song, described as a modern kundiman is composed by Kian Dionisio. According to Mcoy, Kian was able to capture his attention because of the many feelings conveyed by the song's lyrics.

"Namiss ko rin kumanta. My last album was in 2010 so that's almost 9 years na. I'm excited and happy because almost 5 to 6 years na ako nagsusulat for TV at ngayon nag-record na ulit ng mga kanta."
