By Cherry Sun

Chynna Ortaleza and Kean Cipriano are elated that their partnership has helped them realize their purpose and dreams.

Aside from being husband and wife, Chynna and Kean are now colleagues as the vice president for production and talent development, and chairman and chief executive officer, respectively, for O/C Records.

In an exclusive interview with GMANetwork.com, the couple admitted that chasing their passion and dreams feels more prospective now that they have each other.

Chynna said, “I'm very lucky that we have a partnership that's very productive eh. It doesn't also hurt that we share the same interests. But at the same time, I just feel happy that when we became a couple, good things started happening to us, to our family. So alam ko na, kasi we both prayed hard for a good partner and we found it in each other.”

Kean said, “I couldn't ask for more. I mean, a dream come true is a dream come true, and good thing, thankful ako na I'm doing it with all these awesome artists. I have a good line up. I'm working with my wife on this. I mean I really couldn't ask for more."

According to Chynna, the strong bond in their family is what she wants to promote in their own record label.

The Kapuso actress explained, “It's nice to be able to also share that kind of love with the people who come across O/C kasi kung ano kami as a family, we try to implement everything also with the company. Parang as you can see we're all very tight, we're like a small barkada.”

Kean, meanwhile, aims to find fulfillment in their new venture.

He said, “I'm happy that this can be an instrument or a way to like really contribute to the music industry, to the music history actually.

"Kasi I've been in the industry for 13 years and all I want to do is make music my whole life and I'm not saying make music with my own, as myself or sa banda ko. It's more of parang mag-contribute and produce music and collaborate with talented artists like these artists under O/C Records.”
