Dropbox Vol. 1 is a compilation of art songs reflecting on the life of a modern college student in urban Manila. Given only a  few weeks to write and with different people composing, the overall sound and concept became diverse. Each song in the album is inspired with a variety of perspectives and ideas; from waking up late and facing the absurd traffic of the city to almost breaking from the brink of exhaustion. It is an imperfect passion project with unexpected outcomes and charm that only amateur, aspiring musicians can ever claim to be their own.

This project would not be possible without the collaboration of these amazing artists and musicians on each individual track:
