ONErpm bolsters presence with Offshore Music partnerships
ONErpm, a global music powerhouse in distribution, label services, and publishing, continues to deepen its presence in the Philippines through strategic partnerships with breakthrough artists and prominent independent labels. At the forefront of these developments is its newly announced collaboration with Offshore Music, home to trailblazing acts such as Ely Buendia, ena mori, Alyson, and M1ss Jade So—to name a few.
Sustainability, transparency, and fostering genuine communities of music.
Ely Buendia, CEO and Chairman of Offshore Music reveals the depth of the conversations that led to the collaboration. A key factor in Offshore Music’s decision is ONErpm’s alignment with the label’s values, particularly around sustainability, transparency, and fostering genuine communities of music.
For Audry Dionisio, General Manager of Offshore Music, joining ONErpm was a natural step in realizing the label’s vision. “We have worked with Alyssa Pe Benito, ONErpm’s Marketing Manager before and with our working experience with her and OneRPM’s commitment to nurturing artist growth, we saw an opportunity to expand the label’s vision on a global stage while continuing to honor the partnerships that brought us here.”
The partnership was introduced by Alyssa “Pebs” Pe Bento, ONErpm’s Marketing Manager, who has fostered a longstanding relationship with the record label. For Pebs, the partnership represents a union rooted in shared purpose and commitment, with the goal of nurturing a music community that values authenticity, creativity, and breakthroughs. “I am grateful for their trust in me that resulted in this partnership, enabling and providing support to artists through innovative, forward-thinking strategies that remain true to their craft, ensuring that music continues to thrive and evolve with integrity in a rapidly changing industry landscape.”
New wave of Filipino talents
Apart from Offshore Music, ONErpm is welcoming a new wave of Filipino talents to its family. Among them: Manila-based alt-rock band Fitterkarma, whose breakout single, “Pag-ibig ay Kanibalismo II,” topped the Spotify Philippines Viral 50 and went viral on TikTok and other social media platforms. Their follow-up single “Sumpa,” set for release this Friday, October 3 on all streaming platforms.
Also on the rise is SSUNN, a band inspired by contemporary Japanese and Korean rock music. Their current single, “Nasan Na Ba Ako?” debuted at No. 35 on Spotify Philippines Viral 50 and earned a coveted spot on the cover of the .ph editorial playlist.
Presh Ong, ONErpm’s A&R Representative, also shares, “We’re ready to help our artists reach new heights, We can’t wait for the world to see and hear what they’re truly capable of.”
Moreover, other breakthrough acts who will be part of ONErpm’s growing roster include IUNO, fronted by Carlos De Guia and signed to WYL Music; and El Manu, the solo project of Jai Asuncion of Agsunta, whose heartfelt storytelling continues to resonate with the Filipino streaming audience.
“Our artists are at the heart of everything we do,” Pebs emphasized. “We are more than just a platform; we’re partners who strive to add value in an artist’s journey. We’re here to help them dream bigger and go further by combining innovative technology with tailored artist strategies.”
Fitterkarma, SSUNN, Diego’s Scenes, UNO, and El Manu will also officially relaunch at the first edition of ONErpm Night on October 7, 2025, at Sari-Sari bar in Makati City. Tickets will be available at the door for PHP 350.
Looking ahead, ONErpm remains committed to strengthening its Philippine operations through comprehensive label and distribution services. APAC Director Isaac Miranda affirms, “ONErpm will continue to expand our local offerings and services as we move into the new year, with the establishment of our local office and content studio.”
