With a mind filled with meandering thoughts, and a gut trembling with the butterflies within, Miguel Austriaco tackles the weight of the past, the stagnancy of the present, and the uncertainty of the future through his solo project, Austri. The singer-songwriter found solace in the isolation of the pandemic, by reaching deeper into more personal experiences and translating them into narratives of loneliness, mortality, and regret. With shades of folk and shoegaze, Austri builds emotional stories and scenes that complement his songwriting.

Franz Guico is a Folk OPM artist that specializes in curating songs that reciprocate the internal feeling of sadness and pain. His emotion-filled tunes narrate a thousand stories in the span of the few minutes dedicated to his songs.
