In this episode, we had a conversation with Joey Ayala. He talked to us about his beginnings, the importance of music spaces (such as his very own Conspiracy Bar), his song-writing process, and the need to tell stories through writing. We also discussed the importance of cross-collaborations, the anatomy of some of his songs: Walang Hanggang Paalam, 1896, and Karaniwang Tao; while seamlessly weaving his perspectives regarding the role of artists and their legacies.
