If you’re looking for a fresh new sound to add to your playlist, then you can count on up-and-coming artist geiko’s mellow voice and catchy beats to deliver. She recently released a new single entitled “Oh no I’m on Shopee again,” and it perfectly captures Filipinos’ passion for online shopping.
Since 2017, geiko has been making waves
on YouTube with her covers and original songs, gaining thousands of subscribers
in the process. A self-taught musician, geiko got into music at three years old
and started writing songs at just six years old, and eventually started
uploading covers on YouTube. She finds creative inspiration from musicians of
all genres, from OPM legends like APO Hiking Society and Eraserheads to K-Pop
superstars. She describes her own music style as “something that makes you want to
stare into nothingness, jump and dance around in public without the fear of
judgement, or cry in the bathroom.”
Though shy, geiko loves performing. “I love seeing reactions
to my music. It makes me happy that people can relate to my music,” she shares.
geiko’s latest release, “Oh no I’m on
Shopee again,” might just be her most relatable one yet. She shares that since
window shopping is one of her favorite ways to pass the time, browsing Shopee
is akin to falling into a rabbit hole. She constantly finds more and more items
she wants to check out. The app serves as her one-stop shop for school, art,
and music essentials and so much more.
“I love anything
cute, like bags that look like a loaf of bread and a chicken, or items that
have animals on it. I look for glasses too, it's becoming quite a collection
for me. I also look for art materials, music equipment, and other things that
can improve my work flow. Right now I’m eyeing new keyboards, both for typing
and for making music,” she says.
As she was scrolling through the app one
day, she realized she couldn’t afford any of the items on her wishlist. But she
didn’t just “stare at my phone and cry.” She actually went
ahead and wrote a song about it, finishing the lyrics in one go and recording the
song on the same day.
The quirky lyrics, narrated in geiko’s
soft, smooth voice, takes listeners through a fun, colorful world of “radishes, froggies, cow printed trimmed candies…
music things and
stationary”—just a few of
the items on geiko’s budol wishlist.
Speaking of budols—when it comes to them, geiko abides by just one rule:
“If may gusto ka,
add to cart mo. If ‘di ka makatulog kakaisip, check out mo na ‘yan!”
Play geiko’s “Oh no I’m on Shopee again”
while you scroll through Shopee. Listen
to it on geiko’s official Spotify and Youtube channels. A short version of the song is also available
on TikTok.
Watch geiko perform “Oh no I’m on Shopee again” live for
the first time at the 12.12 Big Christmas Sale TV Special this December 12, 10:30 PM on GMA-7 and
Shopee Live.
