Talented singer-songwriter Shane Garcia captivated listeners with her brand of pop music that is sincere, heartfelt, and catchy.
The young Bulakeña recently treated the public to a live mini-virtual concert via GMA Playlist where she performed her original songs “Head Over Heels” and “Loved.”
Shane's strength as a songwriter is her ability to convey into words the romantic experiences of young people wrapped in beautiful, playful melodies.
“Aminin mo ikaw din naka-relate ka dito. Kumbaga na-experience mo rin 'yong phase na ito na hindi ka naging crush ng crush mo 'di ba?” beams Shane, talking about her latest single, “Head Over Heels.”
“Story siya ng friend ko, nagkuwento siya [na] may crush siyang guy. Kumbaga, naging inspiration ko 'yon to write this song,” said Shane.
The words usually come first before the melody for Shane.
“Head Over Heels” though was arranged quite differently according to the singer-songwriter.
“Dito sa 'Head Over Heels' halo. Kasi, sinulat ko muna 'yong lyrics, first verse and chorus, 'tapos after nun, nilapatan ko siya ng tono.
“Kinapa ko siya sa guitar then after nun, 'tsaka ko siya dinugtungan ng lyrics from second verse up to end.”
How many songs has Shane have written so far?
“I started writing at the age of 13. Pero 'yong mga nasusulat ko nun parang it's either hindi tapos, kasi... Guys, I have so many unfinished songs, as in puro drafts lang siya. Pero tina-try ko naman silang tapusin,” she said.
“'Yong mga songs na 'yon, parang hindi ko pa sila matatawag na kanta. Pero dito sa tanong na 'to, feeling ko around 15 songs 'yong talagang matatawag ko na kanta.”
Shane also gamely participated in the “Nangyari Na Ba?" challenge for the Icebreaker segment of the program.
During the game, Shane admitted being mistaken for another celebrity and confessed to being a huge fan of the pop-rock band, The Juans.
“Fan girl din naman po ako and marami rin po akong ina-admire na OPM artists talaga,” Shane mentioned.
