Ernest:Hope

Ernest:Hope is an acoustic singer-songwriter based in Imus, Cavite PH.

Highly influenced by early pop-punk bands, like <a href="spotify:artist:4ghjRm4M2vChDfTUycx0Ce" data-name="New Found Glory">New Found Glory</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:24XtlMhEMNdi822vi0MhY1" data-name="Taking Back Sunday">Taking Back Sunday</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:4ERtgeBbWRkFzIz6LaFCeY" data-name="Dashboard Confessional">Dashboard Confessional</a> to name a few. I started this musical journey back in 2015. I had a punk band called Questions which eventually parted ways. I was left with a handful of songs which were, <a href="spotify:track:5QXfMccmzSpeqwMxMiTKlD" data-name="The Pineapple Incident">The Pineapple Incident</a>, <a href="spotify:track:2RrzbxjOYEzKxRrnxT35SV" data-name="Fissured">Fissured</a> and <a href="spotify:track:5XiYrr61QkbsezGXd3CSZb" data-name="On My Own">On My Own</a>. These were more mellow and sounded really good in acoustic guitars. My partner Eunice suggested that I should start a solo project with those songs and from there, Ernest:Hope was born.

The name is an homage to my grandfather, Ernesto. We added the colon and &#34;Hope&#34;, just because it&#39;s cool. &#x1f605;

Fast forward to today, I am gearing towards releasing a 4-song EP before the end of 2023.
