MANILA \u2013 Joey Ayala, one of the speakers at the 6th Elements National Singing-Songwriting Camp held at Hacienda Isabela in Cavite, explained that the reason why people regarded the Original Pilipino Music (OPM) as \u2018dead\u2019 was because of the \u2018homogenous\u2019 sound local artists produced at present.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe same sound, same sentiments. Lahat ng input pare<\/em>–pareho<\/em>, siyempre ang output pare<\/em>–pareho<\/em> (All inputs are similar, of course the output is also similar),\u201d Ayala said in a Philippine Star report.<\/p>\n

The singer-songwriter then urged new artists to find their \u2018voice,\u2019 embrace their uniqueness and not be too cautious of the \u2018unified\u2019 sound.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you want to produce a variety of artistry record, boring kung pare<\/em>–pareho kayo<\/em> (it\u2019s boring if you\u2019re all the same)\u2026 The best way is being ourselves,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cHindi ko sinasabing ako walang foreign influence<\/em>, pero I erase the trace of my influence<\/em>. I make it different from the original na hindi na nila ma-trace<\/em>,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

(I\u2019m not saying that I don\u2019t have foreign influence, but I erase the trace of my influence. I make it different from the original that they will no longer be able to trace [it].)<\/p>\n

Ayala also encouraged local artists to own OPM, to \u2018make it yours.\u2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
