Our dedicated behind the scenes team. Our very talented contestants and you our viewers, who keep coming back to the channel. Thank you.. thank you for the support. For our first ever songwriting competition in this channel we chose the theme “Pagmamahal sa Kapwa”.

It was a hard choice between the 3 finalist; our panel of judges were split in the middle, that’s why our dad asked me and my siblings to help decide the champion. At the end of the day, the deciding factor was the feeling we got from the song. Yung kanta na naramdaman talaga namin yung tema na pagmamahal sa kapwa.

So the winning song is “NAKALAANG PANGAKO”

CONGRATULATIONS to the songwriter and interpreter of the winning song. You are the first ever grand winner of MUSICQUEST! You will receive P100,000 pesos and will be remembered as the GRAND CHAMPION of of SEASON 1

What We do

Increase your presence

As social media becomes a more vital medium for advertising, it’s critical that you, as a performer, take advantage of it to the fullest. To assist you, we’ve listed some social networking networks for vocalists below. It allows you to spread the word about yourself as a musician.

Get Involved

For vocalists, social media is significantly more crucial than you may realize. Singers must participate in a world where everything is now pushed, discussed, and advertised on social media. You’ll have a far better chance of being discovered if you have a huge number of followers.

Social media marketing for singers

Everything we do online to build a presence, create content, and attract people to your music. This can include websites, advertisements, and forums, but it’s mostly marketed through social media campaigns and management. Not only is social media for singers a great way to build up your fan base, but we may also help you get noticed by talent scouts, managers, and record labels.
