TULUYAN nang namaalam ang bokalistang si Armi Millare sa bandang UDD matapos ang 17 years na pamamalagi niya sa grupo.
Sa kanyang Instagram ay ibinahagi niya ang kanyang pahayag ukol sa kanyang desisyong pag-alis sa kanyang recording label na Terno Recordings na nauwi nga sa kanyang paglisan sa banda.
“I’ve thought long and hard about the best time to do this and came to the realization that there’s no ‘best time’ to deliver a message like I’m about to,” saad ni Armi.
“Last June, I decided to sever ties with Terno Recordings, its mother company MTME and as a consequence of this, my band, UDD.
“For the last 17 years, I have experienced and learned so much in the company of my bandmates along with every person we have had the pleasure of interacting with,” pagpapatuloy ni Armi.
Aniya, nais sana talaga niyang panatilihing pribado ang kaniyang pag-alis pero dahil nga sa marami ang nakakakilala ag sumusuporta sa kanila ay kinakailangan niya itong isapubliko.
“I owe this announcement to you, all the listeners of the music, to let you know that your patronage and love of the band, gave me the experience of a lifetime.
“UDD has remained my longest relationship— one that I’ve tried to keep sacred and tried to preserve with the principles I have upheld from the moment I learned that I had a dream: that one day I would be in one band I would dedicate my life to.
“I see that there was more progress than perfection during our time together and I’m willing to let it end where it has. We had a good run,” lahad ni Armi.
Sey pa ng dating bokalista ng UDD, “I wish everyone in the group, our crew, and cohorts the best with all my heart. There is nothing more I fear than the unknown, but I would rather be fighting my fears that letting it hold me down while I see peace like I always have.”
Samantala, nagpaabot naman ng pagsuporta sa desisyon ni Armi ang kanyang bandmates na sina Carlos Tanada, Paul Yap, at Ean Mayor.
Sa official Facebook page ng banda ay pinaalam ng UDD ang pormal na pag-alis ni Armi sa grupo.
“We wanted to let you know that Armi has left UDD. We thank her for sharing her talent and artistry in the songs we created together. We’ll never forget how the four of us started out, how thrilled we were in 2004 to finally be playing at Saguijo to a crowd of twenty people,” saad ng banda.
Malungkot man daw sila sa paglisan ni Armi ay suportado nila ang bokalista sa bagong chapter ng kanyang solo career..
“Although we’re sad to see her leave the band, we wish her all the best as she embarks on her solo career. And we hope you can all support her future projects as well.
“We, the remaining members, will continue to make music under Terno Recordings. This will be a new and different adventure for us and we hope you can be a part of it too.
Nagpasalamat rin ang grupo sa lahat ng mga sumusuporta sa kanila sa kanilang 17 years sa industriya.
“We are so grateful. We really wouldn’t have made it this far without all of you. Please keep supporting OPM!”
2004 nang mabuo ang bandang UDD o dating Up Dharma Down. Noong June ay nagkaroon pa sila ng virtual concert in partnership with Netflix’s animated series na “Trese”.
Ilan sa mga sumikat na kanta ng UDD ay ang “Oo”, “Tadhana”, at “Indak”.
