EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW
Welcome to Asian Music Review! Tell us a little bit about you and your music.
Jay Jammang is a singer-songwriter hailing from the Philippines. He has been writing songs and honing his craft since he was in high school. On his early 20’s, this gifted singer-songwriter’s meaningful songs and soulful voice are poised to make an impact on the OPM pop scene. With a clear artistic vision, Jammang’s musical journey is only just beginning. While the road ahead is long, Jay is committed to this journey and sharing his gift of music with the world.
On May 2023, Jammang debuted his first single, “Not on the Same Page” an emotive pop ballad depicting the confusion and heartbreak of a relationship where one has already moved on and the other hasn’t. The vulnerable lyrics and melody resonated with listeners garnering 1,102 spotify streams within the first week of it’s release.
He released his second single on June 30th in the acoustic pop genre, titled “Wretched Heart.” It was also featured on LA Music Review and Oro Broadcast Media. The song was played on their Musika Lokal OBM podcast exposing it to a wider audience. With its emotive lyrics and catchy melody, Wretched Heart has quickly become a fan favorite.
Congrats on the release! What was your inspiration when you were writing this project?
Released November 3, 2023. “Art of Letting Go” is a positive synth pop song about choosing oneself and letting go of things that don’t serve you.
This song is actually a sequel to my previous single “Wretched Heart”, I wrote this last April and it’s about finally letting go of someone who constantly breaks your heart. What inspires me to write this song is that I want to remind those who suffer from hanging onto a toxic relationship that making the right choice for themselves is of utmost importance.
What lessons would you like to impart with your audience?
We must learn to let go of things that no longer serve us—relationships, friendships, past mistakes, or old habits. Letting go is the bravest and healthiest choice one can make for themselves.

What is your favorite part of this body of work?
The lyrics! The line “you’re dumb, no fun” made me laugh out loud as I wrote the lyrics, and I was hoping my ex would listen to it. I also love the portion of recording as well. I spent almost three nights recording this song because I’m such a perfectionist and wanted it to sound professional.
