Daly City, CA– Spring may have officially started in the U.S. though it still feels like winter in most places.  But with the latest collab track dropped by Iñigo Pascual and music producer Chris Lopez a.k.a. Moophs, expect the duo to fan the flames of summer heat from the Philippines and bring it to American shores with their new single, “OMW (On My Way).”

This is not the first time that Iñigo and Moophs have worked or performed together.  Both are coming off the high profile success of One Music X last November in Dubai, UAE which turned out to be one of the biggest music festivals of the year in the Middle East.  A few weeks ago, the two also performed at the prestigious Coronation Night of the Bb. Pilipinas beauty pageant held at the Smart Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City.

When “OMW” debuted on YouTube on March 15 with hardly any publicity and promotions. It immediately garnered tens of thousands of views, scores of likes and positive comments.

“When I wrote ‘OMW’, I tried to put myself in the shoes of my 21-year-old self, since that’s where Iñigo’s at now,” said Moophs. “I definitely wasn’t the young superstar at 21 that Iñigo is today. But I think a lot of the driving forces are ultimately the same.”

Moophs continued, “The vibe of the production for ‘OMW’ came from a blend of my tastes and Iñigo’s. I tried to keep it lighthearted and accessible with a drop that’s fun but still slaps. ‘OMW’ is your twenty-something summer anthem.”

While based in the Philippines right now as ABS-CBN’s International Music Content Officer and head of the Tarsier Records imprint, which was launched by Star Music for international audiences, Moophs shares the Los Angeles feels and vibes with Iñigo because both of them lived for years in the City of Angels.  

On the other hand, when Iñigo returned to the Philippines, his first big break in music came when he composed and recorded “Dahil Sa ‘Yo.” The song jumpstarted his career as a recording artist as it became the first number one song on Billboard Philippines’ Top 10 Charts at opening, then holding the top spot for nine weeks.

Currently, Iñigo’s music resides in the genres of Pop and R&B. “I want to create music that helps people express their unspoken emotions — music that takes them back to a specific time in their lives, an anthem of sorts for a generation,” he said.

Check out “OMW (On My Way)” from Tarsier Records on YouTube and Spotify.
