Career

[edit]

In 2016, Go first gained attention for his advocacy songs, including tracks addressing juvenile justice system and extrajudicial killing in the context of the Philippine drug war.[3]

Go gained recognition for composing and playing the ukulele music for "Titibo-Tibo" (transl. Boyish) released in 2017, written by his spouse Libertine Amistoso and popularized by Moira Dela Torre, which won the grand prize at Himig Handog, a national songwriting competition in the Philippines.[4][5]

From 2019 onward, Go composed songs for music artists like Moira Dela Torre, Juris Fernandez, Bituin Escalante, Elaine Duran, among others.[6]

In 2022, he co-wrote a campaign song for former vice president and then presidential aspirant Leni Robredo.[7]

In 2023, Go became involved in a public dispute with singer Dela Torre, alleging that she had hired him as a ghostwriter and defending Jason Marvin Hernandez after their separation.[8][9] Dela Torre's camp denied the claims.[10] Her mother publicly commented on the dispute, and the parties later reconciled.[11]

In 2024, his wedding song "He Knows", performed by Almira Lat, went viral. In the following year, he wrote political jingles for senatorial aspirants Imee Marcos and Gregorio Honasan for the midterm elections.[1]
