Former Pinoy Big Brother: Gen 11 housemate Dylan Yturralde steps into the music scene with his self-titled debut EP, Dylan, a five-track collection that explores the beauty, excitement, and complexities of love.
The rising Kapamilya artist, known for his appreciation of vintage and old-soul music, hopes the EP allows listeners to discover his romantic side while connecting with the different experiences and emotions that come with love.
“Gusto kong maramdaman nila yung pagiging romantic ko. Gusto kong maramdaman nila yung pagmamahal. Kunwari nagye-yearn sila for love, they can just listen to the EP,” Dylan shares.
Produced by StarPop label head Roque “Rox” Santos, Dylan explores falling in love, experiencing loss, finding one’s way back, and learning to move forward through five pop tracks: “Hulog ng Langit” composed by Ato Arman, “Ngayon” written by Trisha Denise, “Halata Naman Na” penned by Dennis Campañer, “Pikit” composed by Gio Ravelo, and “Dito Ka Lang” written by Ron Pangyarihan.
The EP’s key track, “Ngayon,” is an intimate love song about finding comfort in the present and enjoying the peace of being with someone without worrying about what the future may bring.
For Dylan, the song carries a meaningful reminder to stay grounded in the present.
“Yung song na ‘yon ang nagbigay sa akin ng meaning. Kailangan focus muna tayo sa ngayon. Huwag nang problemahin ang bukas. Kung masyado nating iisipin ang bukas, hindi natin ma-eenjoy ang moment na ito,” he says.
Dylan marks his first musical project following his stint as the “Astig Volleybae ng Pampanga” in PBB. The Star Magic artist and former member of the UE Men’s Volleyball Team previously starred in the iWant series Love At First Spike.
He also expressed gratitude for the opportunities that have come his way this year, including the chance to explore singing and release music of his own.
“Excited ako sa mga dumarating na blessing sa akin kasi bago ang lahat. Sa All Star Games, I played basketball. I haven’t played competitive basketball before. Ngayon may sarili na akong kanta. Makikita ko na yung sarili ko sa Spotify,” Dylan shares.
He also encourages aspiring artists to embrace the journey and take on new challenges with courage.
“You are never ready; kailangan matapang ka lang at i-enjoy mo ang process at dapat mahal mo ang ginagawa mo.”
Dylan EP is now available on music streaming platforms.
