Jason Fernandez left the band last year and formed his own band Sta. Maria. He is also being managed now by Orion Entertainment.
After more than one year, Jason Fernandez, together with his band, is all set to release his debut album entitled“PANIMULA” under Ivory Music & Video Inc. The album is set for release on the 3rd week of November, 2012.
According to Jason Fernandez, this album marks another “Panimula” for him. “I have been working on this album for the past year, and I am very proud with how everything turned out” says Jason. “The wait is definitely worth it. The album follows my journey as a musician.”
When asked what the public can expect from the album, Jason Fernandez quips that its sound will show his musical influences including his former band Rivermaya.
“It is undeniable that Rivermaya and its music made me evolve not just as a musician but also as a human being. The group has taught me a lot and this album will prove that,” says Jason Fernandez. “I will forever be grateful to Rivermaya for the opportunity and the lessons that they have imparted to me.”
The album contains songs about hope, lost love, life, and inspirations.
