New singer draws inspiration from classic favorites
Young Filipina singer-songwriter and musician Denj, whose music takes inspiration from the folk/pop alternative while mixing her style is making waves in local showbiz.
She has a propensity for classic/old songs from well-knnown artists like the Carpenters, DJ Alvaro, the Beatles and others.
She also looks up to Filipino singer-songwriters Yeng Constantino and Keiko Necessario, who became her idols and influences that inspired her to write songs.
Denj became a recording artist during the pandemic.
Launching her three singles, she had the opportunity to be featured on different radio stations and variety shows and continues to hone her craft performing with the acoustic band In between Acoustics and doing online recordings.
Denj’s new song, Mamaya, makes one ask, “Can loving you more change everything? Or do I have to go to make you love me better?”
She expresses that dilemma in Mamaya. Being left behind without saying goodbye creates the ultimate scenario of ambiguity.
It is not a beautiful experience. It is more painful especially if you’re someone who loves truly and deeply.
Despite everything, the song shows us that the lover still chooses to love and comes to know that life after a breakup (even sans closure) can still be meaningful, happy and exciting.
