In this life,

Blue Light Studios is the coolest music studio I’ve ever been to. It’s owned by Tutti Caringal of 6 Cycle Mind and host of ABS CBN’s midnight show, Music Uplate Live. It was designed and built by Mike Pedero of Tracks Studio.

It was my first time to go there last year when I had a jamming with Rico Blanco, the Youtube singers Rizza Cabrera and Raleene Cabrera, Sarah Caballero, Mewa Cawad, Dane Hipolito, Yam Concepcion (She’s a great and sexy drummer!) et al. Soki of Balcony Entertaiment was also there!

The studio is literally accented with blue lights and walls with vandals of different personalities.

The second time I went there was yesterday, with Musikat people. Despite the typhoon, we enjoyed rehearsing and recording the Musikat anthem.

Tim posing with his rocker look hahaha. Behind him are photos of different artists who have already been there. Some of them are regular customers of Blue Light.

This is the other studio—the recording studio! I promised myself I’ll be building something like this when I get rich.

Lyrics:

Musikang malaya, malayo ang nararating

Sama-samang umaawit

Buhay ng mga sikat ay ‘di malayong makamit

Basta’t ika’y isa sa amin

Unti-unting makakamit, mga pangarap mo’y abutin

Sa pagtugtog at pagkanta, lahat ng ito’y magagawa

Musikat, ika’y magaling

Musikat, malayo ang nararating

Tayo ang bida, tayo ang simula

Ang boses natin ang magdadala ng pagbabago

Musikat, Musikat, Musikang Tomasino
