Jensen Gomez launches "Umpisa" via a jampacked street concert
Jensen Gomez
With almost 500 people in attendance, young
singer-songwriter Jensen Gomez’s album launch for Umpisa transformed Guijo
Street in Makati into a concert venue last February 1. Jensen, along with his
band, performed all the 10 songs included in the album.
To his fans, Jensen’s strength as a
singer-songwriter is his uncanny ability to turn heartbreaks into beautiful
songs. This is evident in the 10-track-album, which talks about heartbreaks,
moving on, regrets, and wanting to start all over again.
“Playing music is my vehicle to express my
personal mishaps, experiences, stupidity,” says the young singer-songwriter. “I
hope my music will make you feel that you are the only one who is experiencing
stuff- heartbreaks, and heartaches. There is, after all, safety in numbers.”
True enough, the number of people who
attended the launch proved that people appreciate Jensen’s music. Hosting the
event were singer-actress-TV host Karylle and Robin Nievera, a good friend of
Jensen. TV, movie and theater star Tippy Dos Santos performed Umpisa with
Jensen (the album includes their duet), while former Rivermaya vocalist Jason
Fernandez jammed with the song Sisikat Ang Araw.

After Jensen’s 10-song-set, musician
friends of the young singer-songwriter performed for the after-party held at
Saguijo – Mayonnaise, Carlos Castano and She’s Only Sixteen.
Jensen then performed an acoustic, intimate
set for the fans and friends, which further highlighted how musically-gifted he
is. Sponge Cola frontman Yael Yuzon showed support by attending the acoustic
set.
“The whole process of mounting the album
launch was one exciting roller coaster ride,” admits Jensen. “So many changes
had to be made, but better things came our way with other people’s help. “
From being one of the most promising names
in the independent music scene, Jensen was discovered by Universal Records and
management group Orion Entertainment because of the album’s title track and
single Umpisa.
“Like any musician my age, I have
experienced many difficulties. Luckily, amidst all the struggles, people have
been supportive of me and my music. This made me pursue my passion,” expresses
Jensen. “The release of this album summarizes everything I’ve been through in
the past five years as a person, lover and musician.”
