Singson then explained that he is not leaving The Itchyworms as a member, and instead called his move to Canada a “change venue.”

“I’ll still be working with the team, helping out with social media and back office tasks. And like we did in 2020, we will make music even though we aren’t together physically. Who knows? You might still see me in gigs outside the Philippines,” he added.

Singson admitted that parting ways with his bandmates—Jugs Jugueta, Jazz Nicolas and Kelvin Yu—as well as their manager Julie Pacanas is “difficult” for him, but he hopes they will “keep on showing the world our brand of music.”
