“Saan” hitmaker Maki gets real and candid as he shares why the University of the Philippines (UP) has a special place in his heart as he shows excitement on the release of his upcoming full-length album titled “KOLORCOASTER” this year.
In an interview with LatestChika.com/The Philippine STAR before performing at the UP Fair: REV Music Festival last April 5, 2025, Maki revealed why UP is very close to his heart and music.
“Ito talaga ‘yung place na lagi kong pinupuntahan whenever super happy ako. I wanna celebrate something. And also times na sobra akong down. I need solace or like a space from the world,” he revealed.
When asked how he can describe the color of his career and lovelife, Maki answered that his career path is now “dilaw.”
“Kasi ‘yung career ko ngayon, it’s very bright! I wrote this song [dilaw] for myself. I told myself, ‘Ok na pala ako’ like for a long time. Naging sobra akong dependent to other people. It’s okay to be sad. Pero mahirap na sobrang nakaupo ka na sa sadness. Kakainin kana no’n nang buo,” he explained.
Adding, “Hindi na maghahanap ng mga sagot sa mga tanong na ganoon. Meron magiging day na puro yellow ‘yung makikita mo.”
Maki also laughed off when he talked about his relationship status.
“Self-love? Wala akong lovelife eh! Real love kasi na-realize ko na it’s quiet. Sometimes it’s loud. Sometimes it’s crazy. But most of the time, ang love, dapat home siya…I’m gonna be the best for that someone!” he said.
Maki also expressed gratitude to his fans for their continuous support as he is gearing up for the release of his full-length album this 2025.
“Maraming surprises for them! I’m actually dropping a full-length album! It’s gonna be called ‘KOLORCOASTER!’ ‘Yung mga songs ko ‘yung mga babies ko talaga. I don’t release what I don’t like,” he stressed.
