Julie Anne San Jose on Recording in the US: ‘Nakaka-overwhelm!’
Julie Anne San Jose recently topped the iTunes Philippines chart with the digital release of her US-made EP titled “Forever.”
Prior to the release of “Forever,” the digital singles “Tidal Wave” and “Not Impressed”–both have an accompanying music video–performed very well in various music charts. That’s why upon the release of the EP, it debuted to the no. 1 spot of iTune’s PH’s sales chart
During the blogcon for Julie Anne’s new EP which was held on November 12 at The Frazzled Cook in Tomas Morato, Quezon City, Asia’s Pop Sweetheart talked about her American record debut and her future plans as a successful recording artist.
Here are excerpts from the interview…
On the music video of “Forever”:
“Unlike the music video of ‘Tidal Wave’ and ‘Not Impressed’ which were shot in San Francisco, etong ‘Forever.’ Actually ‘yung leading man ko sa ‘Forever,’ Colombian siya, nagmomo-model siya…It’s not exactly sexy type na showing a lot of skin pero more mature ng konti than the usual na nakikita niyo. Wala masyadong choreography kasi more on the concept ng story, concept of tough love, yung nasa music video.”
On recording abroad:
“Habang nagrerecord ako sobrang nakakaoverwhelm talaga kasi ibang ano ito e, hindi ito GMA Records, hindi ito sa Pinas, iba talaga siya and it felt great na makapagrecord at makatuntong ng recording studio ng US. Nasa technical aspect yung basehan ng tunog ng tracks saka palaging on time. Sobrang professional nilang lahat.”
On penetrating the US market:
“If you really pour your heart into it, if you’re ready to take some risks, you have to think about the consequences. Siyempre medyo scared din ako kasi siyempre dominated tayo di ba. Tapos may mga iba ring mga artists/singers na hindi tanggap sa ganitong crowd, hindi tanggap sa ganitong market so what more pa kaya ako. Siguro kung mag-take risk man ako, it would be really thrilling and challenging for me kasi siyempre sobrang bihira ng Asians na nakapagpenetrate sa US market.”
On landing multiple projects this year:
“Eto po siguro ‘yung may pinakamarami na opportunities at thankful po talaga ako. Hindi ko na po talaga iniisip yung pagod e, talagang gusto ko po talaga itong ginagawa ko so parang wala na po sa akin ‘yun. Thankful din po ako kasi yung trust na binibigay ng network at management sa akin kasi nandiyan talaga sila.”
