About Bugoy Drilon:
Bugoy Drilon is one of the most talented and versatile voices coming out of the Philippine Islands today. From humble beginnings as a janitor and farmer, the young male vocalist has risen to become one of the most respected singers in his class, he is held in high esteem by the industry, his colleagues and his many fans. As an established pillar of OPM (Original Pilipino Music), Bugoy lent his talent to a series of hit-after-hit of Filipino love songs “Paano Na Kaya”, “Muli”, and “Hindi Na Bale,” as the iconic theme music in both the big and small screen. Bugoy is ⅓ of the trio “BuDaKhel” - of fellow R&B and ballad artists Daryl Ong and Michael Pangilinan. The trio is one of the strongest forces of OPM in the YouTube space, with a massive following in the Philippines and abroad.
Bugoy is equally at home singing reggae, R&B, pop, rock, and anything in between. In 2016, US reggae/pop artist Matisyahu saw Bugoy's rendition of his hit single “One Day” online and was so overcome by his talent that he flew the speechless young artist out to California to perform the song live with him at the Avila Beach Festival and several other shows. The cover now has over 114M plays on YouTube and is loved by fans across the world. Bugoy forges a new path in his career by exploring the new era of his sonic identity through various collaborations. Thousands of fans can’t wait until Bugoy is able to perform again live on stage doing what he does best.
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.

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.

Kuya Daniel Razon Created the Wish Bus to be a neutral platform for upcoming artists without the boundaries of regular networks and agencies.
2. What was your goals in creating the series?
Our goal is mostly to shed a spotlight on independent artists and introduce them into the music industry.
3. Who was the first artist to go viral internationally?
In 2015, Darren Espanto cover of "Chandelier" was globally recognized. It was first reposted as a post on 9GAG and from there, other website and blogs around the globe picked up the story.
4. What has been some of the most memorable moments?
Artists such as KZ Tandingan and Bugoy Drilon, among other OPM favorites, have all given us our favorite Wish Bus moments. Those who have won the Wish Music Awards have also left a memorable mark because these artists have been known to extend a helping hand to those in need, alongside Wish.
5. Did you ever realize this series would grow to be the international talent discovery platform that it is now?
It was one of the simple wishes of the company when it first started, but we never thought that it would grow to what it is today, for that, we are thankful.
6. When / why did you create Wish Bus USA in Hollywood, CA? What are the goals of the US version?
Planned in early 2017, Wish executive, Kuya Daniel envisioned a platform that would cater to the hidden Filipino talents that the entertainment industry often overlooked. In 2018, this vision came to life when Wish USA launched the Wish USA bus in the Universal City Walk. Los Angeles was made to be the center of the Wish USA operations as it is only fitting that we provide a platform for music talents in the entertainment capitol of the world - as our slogan states, Wish USA, your gateway for opportunities, your gateway to the world.

Hone your skills. We believe that it is natural for Filipinos to have various talents and, with focus and determination, you can make them shine. Always be humble, never forget your roots, and remember the people who helped you throughout your journey. focusing on the career will help you shine. Always be humble and never forget your roots and those people who helped in your journey.
9. How can we all support your mission?
Stop crab mentality. Wish was created from a simple wish, to help all kinds of people throughout the power of music. To support our mission, support the talents that we feature.
10. Why did you create the WISH Awards?
We created the awards to give back to the community who has continuously supported us. Through the Wish Music Awards, artists donate a portion of their prizes to a charity institution of their choice. Second to that is to highlight and thank all of the artists who have shared their talents with us on the Wish Bus.
11. What’s next? Where do you want to take wish next?
Only God knows where we'll go from here, but, no matter what, we will continue to be a music platform that caters to all kinds of artists from different genres.

Philippines based, R&B & Reggae artist Bugoy Drilon pairs up for the first time with island pop producer & Tarsier Records Founder, Moophs, for a venture into the lovers rock genre. “Tied” is a reggae track that speaks of hope amidst unrequited love.
