Asian Pop Nation

dree is a singer-songwriter from Leyte, Philippines who describes her music making you “feel fuzzy or comforted”. Her songs explore themes of growing up, self-discovery, and the messy beauty of being young which is no wonder her music feels like such a familiar indie pop hug. 

We first played her song ‘Sticking Around’, on APN last year - a song our EP adores, but she is now back with her latest single ‘give in’ released last month, which is part of her debut EP 'girl so cool' releasing so very soon on November 5th! 

Listen to Amanda and Annabella chat with her all about her latest single, writing ‘lovergirl’ songs and tips for a work-life balance as a university student herself. Thank you again dree and Hiraya records for having us <3

APN's interview with dree

In this episode, we're starting our journey on the romance train with Annabella and Amanda, who had a wonderful chat with Filipina artist dree about her latest single and songwriting career full of lover girl vibes, then we talked about our love for traditional instruments that have been used in our favourite songs with a modern twist. Continuing our discussion about love, Denise and Amanda have thoughts about Netflix's "Crew Girl' and wasians on TV. And to end things off, the team have finally arrived at their final destination (and new recurring segment) Gaysia, particularly all things boys' love!
