Moving Forward as a Solo Artist + Album Release

Today marks one of the most important decisions I’ve made in my music journey. After months of reflection, quiet planning, and long conversations with people I trust, I’ve decided to move forward as a solo artist—while still carrying the name that has been with me for years:

AcidRadius.

This isn’t a departure. It’s an evolution. AcidRadius has always been about experimentation, creativity, and pushing myself in directions that feel honest, raw, and sometimes ridiculous in the best way possible.

But the more I worked on new material, the more I realized that the next chapter of this project needed a singular focus.

One voice.

One vision.

One pair of very tired hands doing all the mixing.

So yes. AcidRadius is now officially a solo act.

And with that change comes something big.

Something I’ve been working on quietly behind the scenes. Something that defines exactly how strange, ambitious, and emotionally chaotic this new path is going to be.

I am releasing a 69-song full-length album entitled:

“Count to 10”

Sixty-nine tracks.

No fillers.

69 songs I’ve created across sleepless nights, multi-caffeine mornings, and a borderline unhealthy amount of emotional unraveling.

Why 69?
Because I told myself I wanted to make a 10-track album, and somewhere along the way, I miscalculated by about 590%.

Below are some of the key tracks in the project:

Count to 10 (Carrier Single)

A song about patience—written for people who feel things too hard, too fast, too suddenly. It’s a reminder to breathe, pause, and literally count to 10 before doing anything stupid, dramatic, or relationship-ending.

The 6th Machine

A song about robots created for very specific purposes, and what happens when a machine discovers it wants to break free from its assigned task. Musically electronic, conceptually existential.

Pepe

A tribute to José Rizal, the human being: sharp, mischievous, brilliant, sarcastic, flawed, and painfully ahead of his time who lived a life full of beautiful women.

Tuhugin Mo

A street-food love letter.
Nothing more, nothing less.
Just fishball, squidball, kwek-kwek, and that ambiguous brown sauce that tastes amazing but has an ingredient list known only to three living people.

Metal Ica

Inspired by a real person named Danica, a girl whose soul is made entirely of double-pedal blast beats. If metal had a patron saint, it would be her.

Rock and Roll Waltz (Instrumental)

I’ve always wanted to make instrumentals ala-Steve Vai and Joe Satriani. Here’s my version of a waltz that somehow ended up sounding like it belongs in a tavern full of bikers who know how to ballroom dance.

Death Metal Polka (Instrumental)

Another instrumental.

Exactly what it sounds like.
Nobody asked for this combination.
And yet, here it is.

Bubble Gum Blues

A bright, playful, Korean-inspired pop-blues hybrid. It shouldn’t work, but it does. Think bubblegum pop meets Busan back-alley buskers.

Tahong ni Karla (Remake)

A respectful, high-energy remake of the novelty hit originally performed by Ivor, the Tacloban City icon himself.

This version introduces modern arrangement, thicker harmonies, and the subtle emotional depth only someone who has eaten a questionable amount of shellfish can produce.

This is a 3-minute and a half song I made about singing a 3 and a half minute song and it says it all in the title and that’s all the lyrics to it.

This is probably the best 3 and a half minute song I wrote because it challenged me to come up with a title that totally fit the lyrics featured in the song itself.

Spoken Word Ballad

I’ve always wanted to do a spoken word song, so I made a song about it.

And more…

Why a 69-Song Album?

People will ask. People will be confused. Some will be concerned.

But honestly, this album is my way of breaking every rule I set for myself musically. It’s about freedom—writing whatever I want, in whatever style I want, without worrying if the songs “fit.” This is the most AcidRadius thing I’ve ever done.

And yes, there are more tracks I haven’t mentioned yet. They cross everything from acoustic confessionals to synthwave experiments to angry spoken-word pieces recorded at 2 AM while our dogs barked for absolutely no reason.

What Happens Next?

I’ll be releasing teasers, tracklists, behind-the-scenes notes, and previews in the coming weeks. The full album will be available on major streaming platforms, plus a physical ultra-deluxe “Why Did I Do This To Myself” edition for collectors.

I know this is a big shift. I know some people liked AcidRadius as a group identity. But growth means taking risks, and this is mine.

However…

Before you clear your schedules
and prepare 5 hours of listening time
for a 69-track emotional roller coaster…

Please check the date.
Take a deep breath.
And count to ten. Tata!
