OA No More

Instead of asking why SB19 took 8 years to get to Coachella, perhaps we should be asking better questions. What was the P-pop landscape like when they started? What barriers did they have to overcome that artists entering the industry today may no longer face to the same extent? How did they help change the perception of Filipino pop groups, build international audiences, and make P-pop more visible to the global music industry? What doors did their achievements help open for the artists who came after them? And most importantly, what did those eight years contribute to the industry we see today? Before asking why it took them eight years, ask what they had to overcome, build, and break through in those years. The question isn't how long SB19 took to get there. It's how different the road to P-pop's global recognition might have been without them.
