ONCE a fanboy… ALWAYS a fanboy.
Hello everyone, my name is Chris and welcome to another episode of Once and Always a Fanboy!
Music has a way of traveling further than we ever imagine — across cities, across oceans, and into very personal moments in people’s lives. Today’s guest is someone whose songs have quietly found their way into those spaces for a lot of listeners, including here in Manila. We’re talking about songwriting, performing, and the reality behind making honest music in a very connected world.
Fangirls and fanboys, Keenan Te.
