It's the collab we never knew we needed! Our best queen Pia Wurtzbach and our favorite band Ben&Ben have teamed up for an epic video which made our hearts sing and got us flipping our hair!
This was a total fangirl moment for Queen P who became an instant fan of Ben&Ben after discovering one of the MYX chart-topping group's songs in 2019. She was visibly excited to finally talk to her OPM idols and fellow Cream Silk ambassadors in their virtual meetup.
Ben&Ben's frontmen Paolo and Miguel - known for their heartfelt anthems and signature long hair - were equally starstruck with Pia. The two still couldn't believe that they now belonged to the Cream Silk family alongside the popular beauty queen.
Of course, Pia just had to put the Ben&Ben members' hair flip skills to the test during the fun tutorial session - and they definitely nailed it! The former Miss Universe also shared some tips on how to confidently strut on the catwalk and properly deliver the Cream Silk taglines which they all aced as well.
As a reward for teaching Ben&Ben how to be perfect Cream Silk endorsers, the 9-piece band serenaded Queen P with the #CreamSilkArawAraw song which gave her (and us) goosebumps! As if that kilig moment wasn't enough, Pia even got to live out her secret dream of becoming a singer. She performed her own beautiful rendition of the song, using the Cream Silk bottle as her microphone.

The Bay Area beauty is back with a new banger “Vintage,” watch the new music video here.
ICYMI also watch a LIVE session of "You Got It," she makes it seem effortless as she takes the listener on a vocal journey with her.
Earlier this year, Kiyomi released her single, "Trials and Tribulations" with a MYX Global premiere. The original was the first song she wrote during quarantine, at a time where she felt like nothing really made sense in the world and she felt out of control of the circumstances. She was really starting to question a lot of things regarding herself and the purpose of this life.
ABOUT KIYOMI:
When it comes to the music scene, Bay Area born and raised singer/songwriter KIYOMI is what people call a breath of fresh air. She developed a strong love for music in her youth, singing and dancing was part of her daily routine. At 17 years old, she uploaded her first piece of music which was a cover to SZA’s, The Weekend. It received countless words of gratitude and from that moment on, it motivated her to continue pursuing music not only as a hobby, but a career. Fast forward a few months later, and her first project Solara Sunsets was distributed. The 5 song EP landed her numerous shows alongside other local up and coming musicians in the San Francisco Bay Area. At only 18 years old, she managed to rack up nearly 1 million plays across all digital streaming platforms, which has caught the attention of local music label/distribution company EMPIRE, CREATE and others to name a few.

The Fil-Canadian hip-hop and R&B duo Manila Grey is set to release their upcoming album, No Saints on Knights Street on March 26th. Before the album releases, Manila Grey drops a new single Backhouse Ballin' featuring James Reid.
Nico Blitz of MYX will host the MYX Global premiere of the record Thursday 3/11 & Friday 3/12 with a Twitch raid train featuring DJs from all over the world.
The duo produces songs with a night rider, lo-fi vibe. The music video gives a Tokyo Drift theme with a psychedelic feel that you'd want to cruise along with. James Reid's feature fits perfect with Manila Grey's style as his own R&B sound adds to the track. The artists have been supporting each other's work especially when Manila Grey performed in Manila on their last tour. We're excited to see them perform the track together in the future.
"Roll through the Island City with my tribe.
James Reid on Backhouse Ballin'
I got the real 1z with me ride or die"
Expect to hear tracks they've self-produced to original visuals for their upcoming album. With creative control over their music, Manila Grey are pulling all the stops. You can't make this up, they're definitely playing for keeps.
For another sneak peak of the album check out the visual to 00 Luck (Freestyle) that also released this week.
Manila Grey recently sat down with MYX Host Nico Blitz on The Lunch Table. The duo caught up before the MYX Global premiere. They chat about the upcoming album, having P-Lo feature on Zen Mode, working with James Reid on Backhouse Ballin', and their demo with Manila Killa. One of the things they mentioned was that all collaborations happened super organically.
Getting P-Lo on a track was cool because it was a Manila Grey tune with P-Lo adding his flavor instead adding the familiar Bay Area beat. As for Backhouse Ballin', the track was already produced but during their tour stop to Manila they caught up with James Reid. They asked if he would hop on the track and without hesitation, the Careless founder laid down his vocals.
The duo are particular with how they release their music. A track has to be "perfect" that everyone agrees on sound and what to release. With over a decade of friendships, their team has a right relationship and their core team puts each other in check. They talk about the "Mamba mentality" when it comes to their work ethic. They strive to always step up their game with their next release, their next visual or demo.

MYX Global Featured Artist, Ez Mil, has been working hard honing his craft for years with his family as inspiration and support. He is currently manifesting success with years of preparation meeting the right opportunities. Although what might seem like an overnight success really isn't, it is actually years of ongoing grind that he's had since moving to Las Vegas 4 years ago from Olangapo City, Subic City in the Philippines.
Ez is not just a talented lyricist, songwriter, musician, dancer, skateboarder, director, editor & producer, but at the core of it all - he's a proud Filipino, "despite any turmoil" within his birth country. Although his skin color might not reflect his identity that he shouts on his recent hit, "Panalo (Win)." he shouts, "I'm Pinoy!" when criticized for being "Tisoy." The Wish Bus has launched in the US & is now become an international brand known for breaking the best of Filipino talent like Bugoy Drilon, KZ Tandingan, IV of Spades and Ben&Ben to global audiences.
ASAP (All-Star Sunday Afternoon Party) also now known as ASAP Natin To', to mean '"This Is Our ASAP"'). It is a Philippine television variety show produced under ABS-CBN. ASAP is the longest running Sunday noontime variety show & became the first live entertainment program in the Philippines to be broadcast in true high-definition picture. It is currently hosted by Martin Nievera, Zsa Zsa Padilla, Gary Valenciano, Sarah Geronimo, Ogie Alcasid, Regine Velasquez-Alcasid.
The show is known for bringing together an all-star cast that include the most popular artists of the country like KZ Tandingan, Moira Dela Torre, Inigo Pascual alongside international guests like Dua Lipa, New Rules, CNCO, Haile Steinfeld & countless more. International record labels that are promoting new releases constantly vy for a featured performance on the popular show that not only airs on television, but also airs on ABS-CBN Entertainment's YouTube channel that is one of Asia's biggest with over 39M subscribers and 40B plays.
While Ez has been guesting or been featured on some of the biggest international hip hop platforms like Power 106 and AllHipHop.com, he wanted to have the first global TV performance of the new LIVE version of the song on ASAP. For this special LIVE version, he added a Bisayan verse to the song that already included Tagalog (Filipino), Ilocano & English on it as well as recorded it with hip hop's #1 leading band 1500 or Nothin, known for touring with his influencers like Kendrick Lamar and Jay-Z.
History was made because while YouTubers around the world are reacting to his Wish Bus USA video, the LIVE performance video shows the amount of energy and intensity he puts into every performance. New and existing fans rushed to KTX.PH to purchase tickets for his upcoming virtal concert after they saw the amazing performance. The concert will air for a 24 hour period for the various timezones across the world after it airs LIVE 4/17 at 8P PST & 4/18 12P PHT in Manila. His ASAP performance has already started gaining reactions with reactors like Cliff Beats for just the Manila airing, watch as the performance starts to roll out globally after being posted on Ez's personal YouTube channel.
Ez recorded the LIVE version of Panalo at Las Vegas' premiere recording Studio A, with recording/tracking Engineer Jacob Evan Magness. Jake has been known for his work with Machine Gun Kelly and the Santana Billboard #1 singles inside the building. He invited the live band to join him for this special performance as they have been known for showmanship not only on tour but as a backing band for TV shows like SkeeTV, playing alongside his favorite artists like Chris Brown, Kendrick Lamar & icons like Jay-Z.

Tanikala made a debut appearance on the internationally renowned Netflix special, Jo Koy's In His Elements after winning a rap contest by Morobeats. The prize consisted of winning a recorded album that was released in 2020, this became the self titled album, Tanikala. Shortly after the album was released and after completing the official music video for the song "Kayumanggi", Tanikala announced himself as an independent artist.
Tanikala stems from Dasmarinas, Cavite. Eufrenzy Jeano Mira Chichico, Tanikala is the 17 year old rapper who pens lyrical verses that tackles and sparks uncomfortable subjects for some. Tanikala takes much pride in being Filipino and through his experience from seeing his Mom having to leave the family to make a living, he gives the audience a taste of the struggle by giving the public an insight to life as a working Filipino overseas.
Subjects tackled in his songs pertain to the growing concerns about violence, drugs, community, mental illness--- to a very wide range including teen pregnancy. He makes a statement in each song allowing those who listen to understand that these are very real and existing challenges within the community. Watch him do the #HowManyChallenge to #1 song in the Philippines "How Many" created by FilAms Guapdad 4000 & producer !llmind.
In a much recent conversation and explanation on the "Panalo" cover below by Tanikala, Tanikala steps in to show support for fellow Filipino rapper, Ez Mil. Tanikala, has a strong belief that we as Filipino's should be showing support towards one another.
In the "Panalo" cover, Tanikala mentions that we all have a right to our culture as Filipinos no matter where you are--- Tanikala hopes that all who get a chance to listen will drop the nit picking and be happy that Filipinos are becoming known worldwide for creating something uplifting, something recognizable--- something that inspires people to keep creating.
Tanikala sees Ez Mil's "Panalo" that has reached over 50M streams worldwide in 2 weeks as a win for all Filipinos. Tanikala turns the "Panalo" cover as a song of unity and asks those before him (national heroes) for strength and courage for all.
