Rico Blanco

MANILA– One of the most sought-after rock artists in the Philippines, Rico Blanco, has released a free single to raise awareness, and ultimately, funds to help the victims of typhoons Ondoy and Pepeng.
The single entitled, "Bangon," accompanied by a music video can now be downloaded for free on his website.

"I am offering a completely new song, 'Bangon' as a free download, " Mr. Blanco said." Hopefully it will also raise some badly needed funds through your donations. Warner Music Philippines is currently helping me set up a bank account to accomodate your cash donations as well as a Paypal account for those of you who wish to help from overseas."

Mr. Blanco also said that he is waiving all royalties due to him for this new song, which he will instead go to affected families.

Mikey Bustos

TORONTO –  Bustos Entertainment Inc. & International Recording Artist Mikey Bustos are very proud to announce the release of the Single “All I Need is Me” and its official music video  through digital promotion and distribution  deal with Soul Kiss Entertainment Inc., Universal Music and Fontana North.

Mikey Bustos, who since his appearance on the hit show Canadian Idol, has released a music video, toured Canada, USA, and Asia, and was front act for the likes of Christina Aguilera and The Pussycat Dolls.  Largely inspired by the philosophical works of life mentors such as Louise L. Hay and Abraham Hicks, “Memoirs of a Superhero” traces Bustos’ experiences and views with the life-shaping power of mind and thought.  Creatively using the superhero metaphor in the album of thirteen original pop tracks (twelve of which were written by Bustos), the journey begins.  “Memoirs of a Superhero” may be purchased online at iTunes, Amazon.ca and the official website www.mikeybustos.com.  Album also distributed throughout Canada for purchase at HMV.
