Manila, August 2020 – Music does not only make people dance or sing, but it also drives conversation among each other.
As the place where people talk about #WhatsHappening on anything under the sun, Filipinos go to Twitter to search and share their newest music finds.
Filipinos recently raved about the newly established PARADISE RISING (@paradiserising) on Twitter following the release of their first mixtape semilucent. Now, the music collective will once again make waves on Twitter as fans can celebrate and express their support by using the custom emoji that will appear along with the hashtags #PARADISERISING, #semilucent, and #semilucentEP.

Being the place where fans can unite together and stay connected with their idols, Twitter became the digital stage for Philippines’ entertainment industry,” said Carl Cheng, Head of Entertainment Partnerships, Southeast Asia & Greater China at Twitter. “In addition, people are always on the lookout for what’s fresh, be it in music, film, or other industries. So, it’s great to know that both fans and artists are going to Twitter to interact and discover what’s new in the local music scene.”
