Datu

Thank you for your interest in my music. By the way, I'm Datu, and I'm super excited to share my story through the lyrics and melodies that I hope will become ours.

Just like you, I&#39;ve always wanted to be heard. Growing up, I never really had a hometown to call my own because, well, I literally lived everywhere. Still, Cebu, Philippines is definitely where my heart is. The thought that I had no permanent place in the world, however, did shape me and my sound. When I believed I had nothing, I always had the music of <a href="spotify:artist:3eqjTLE0HfPfh78zjh6TqT" data-name="Bruce Springsteen">Bruce Springsteen</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:3WrFJ7ztbogyGnTHbHJFl2" data-name="The Beatles">The Beatles</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:2DaxqgrOhkeH0fpeiQq2f4" data-name="Oasis">Oasis</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:6olE6TJLqED3rqDCT0FyPh" data-name="Nirvana">Nirvana</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:0oSGxfWSnnOXhD2fKuz2Gy" data-name="David Bowie">David Bowie</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:1dfeR4HaWDbWqFHLkxsg1d" data-name="Queen">Queen</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:7dGJo4pcD2V6oG8kP0tJRR" data-name="Eminem">Eminem</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:7oPftvlwr6VrsViSDV7fJY" data-name="Green Day">Green Day</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:4Z8W4fKeB5YxbusRsdQVPb" data-name="Radiohead">Radiohead</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:40Yq4vzPs9VNUrIBG5Jr2i" data-name="The Smashing Pumpkins">The Smashing Pumpkins</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:0EdvGhlC1FkGItLOWQzG4J" data-name="Sublime">Sublime</a>... well, the list goes on.

I&#39;m not just about crafting lyrics and melodies; I like to create shared experiences. I don&#39;t like doing things alone, so can we be friends? Whether you enjoy anthems to lift your spirits or prefer to lay down and shed a few tears, I think I have quite a few tunes that we can share.

&#34;Crowded Places&#34; is my first single, and it&#39;s about yearning to escape from a dark, toxic situation, even just temporarily. I poured my heart and soul into it and I hope you would continue to walk with me into the next chapter.

As my music grows, let&#39;s ignite passions and create something amazing—together.
