Far from rehashing the hugot formula for her own gains, Syd Hartha sets a blueprint for young singer-songwriters to explore deeply personal and socially relevant themes in the face of troubling times.
“It got to where I realized it’s time for me to step outside my comfort zone and make music with more power, something that speaks to a wider audience and can make an impact,” the eighteen-year-old folk artist takes a stand.
Syd continues to take charge of her own musical and lyrical direction with the release of her new paruparo under Sony Music Philippines. Since then, when something isn’t right or needs to address, I knew I had to do the best I could about it, and I do it mostly through my music.

If everyone knows of how we could use the freedom of expression that we all have correctly, conflicts would lessen and understand each other would be easier says the outspoken singer-songwriter. “Paruparo” is a song to remind everyone to practice being responsible for our words and considerate of how others could take it.
Recorded and produced by Brian Lotho and Not Vinzons in Sonic State Audio, “Paruparo” features Syd Hartha on vocals and guitars, Raisa Racelis on bass, Pat Sarabia on drums, Bea Fabros on guitars, and Jason Gildore on percussions.
