Hello everyone and welcome to another episode of Once and Always a Fanboy with me your host Chris Cantada Force.
Today we’re joined by a voice that’s been powerfully turning heads around the world. Born in Norway, she blends Nordic cool with Manila warmth, crafting songs that feel like late-night confessions wrapped in soulful pop and R&B. She’s fresh off a sold-out show in New York, about to light up the stage here in Manila, and her new single I’m Still is already earning praise for its calm-but-fearless vibe. Please welcome an artist who proves that stillness can carry the same charge as a roaring crowd.
Fangirls and fanboys, HILLARI.
