Earl Agustin
A Rising Groovy, Synth-Driven Funk-Pop Artist
I’m sure you’ve heard “Nagsimula sa simple na pasulyap-sulyap, nagpapapansin sa ‘yo” circulating across various social media platforms. Well, the singer behind that hit is our featured artist this week on Kolektive!
Meet Earl Agustin! A soulful singer-songwriter from Ozamiz, Earl is making waves with his captivating vocals and unique sound. He has quickly become one of today’s leading voices in OPM, fueled by a growing fanbase and chart-topping hits, led by “Tibok.”
Blending pop, R&B, and soul with a touch of 70s flair, Earl’s smooth, mid-tempo tracks have cemented his place as a rising star. Currently holding the #1 spot as the Top OPM Artist on Spotify Philippines, he continues to prove himself as a soulful force in the industry.
23-year-old Earl, born and raised in Mindanao, was discovered by a Vicor A&R executive three years ago after a Coke Studio feature. He debuted under Vicor in February 2023 with “Dalangin,” a groovy, soul-infused track that showcased his love for soul and 70s-inspired sounds. Early listeners likened his vocal style to Arthur Nery, whom Earl admired as a role model for both artistry and career growth.
Earl is now gradually finding his voice as a songwriter and vocalist, and listeners are taking notice. This brings us to his latest release, “Aya.” Earl describes his music as “soulful, vintage, and real,” and “Aya” perfectly reflects that, echoing 70s R&B influences.
“I feel like I resonate with this particular genre,” he says. “I am able to articulate my artistry and soulfulness in these music styles.” His vocals on the track are crisp and clear, perfectly conveying his message. “I was inspired by love and I thought how beautiful it is to be in love, in spite of the pain it inevitably comes with. I still find it beautiful.”
With heartfelt lyrics, smooth melodies, and undeniable charisma, Earl is not just making music—he’s breathing new life into the OPM scene. As he continues to evolve, there’s no doubt that Earl Agustin is set to leave a lasting legacy in Filipino music.
