ICYMI: When the names of nominees and winners for this year’s MTV EMA are announced on Nov. 13 at a star-studded ceremony in Dusseldorf, Germany, only one homegrown artist from the Philippines will be singled out: Maymay Entrata.
What we find even more disarming is the fact that, while Maymay acquits herself like a seasoned pro these days, she has also managed to keep her feet firmly on the ground. Throughout this interview, we would shuttle among English, Tagalog and Bisaya, especially when she needed to express her hard-to-contain impulses and reactions.
“In fact, there was a time when I almost allowed success to go to my head. I acknowledge that success can be overwhelming… at munktik na po talagang lumaki ang ulo ko,” she admitted. “Because it got to a point where I was surrounded by people who had a negative influence on me. But now, I refuse to let anything spoil me. Ayokong mawala sa sarili ko and lose control again.
We asked Rox what it was about Maymay that convinced Star Music and Star Pop to tap further into the singer-actress’ rich pool of unraveling musical skills.Rox said, “I was there when Maymay waxed her first ever single under Star Music. Then after that, I already produced her songs. So, I saw her grow into the authentic music artist that she has become… she’s unlike anybody else out there.“She’s very passionate about her craft at mararamdaman mo ang pagmamahal n’ya sa kanyang ginagawa.
“I want to continue improving. This mindset didn’t just start when I went to study in Canada. When they gave me ‘Amakabogera,’ I realized then that I had to step up… hindi puwedeng pa-tsamba-tsamba lang! I needed to learn well and find where my strengths as a performer would work best.
