NAGKAROON ng farewell concert and at the same time ay album launch event ang dating lead vocalist ng bandang Moonstar88 na si Acel Bisa!
Kaya naman, bago niya tuluyang lisanin ang Pilipinas ay nakachikahan ng BANDERA si Acel matapos ang kanyang presscon na naganap sa Newport Resorts World sa Pasay City.
Una naming inusisa sa batikang singer kung itutuloy pa niya ang kanyang music career sa Netherlands.
Ang sagot niya, “Actually, I don’t know what’s gonna happen when I get there.”

“But definitely, I will still create songs and make music. I just don’t know if I will be able to release it and perform it live…parang I don’t see my music as a career anymore,” pag-amin niya.
Paliwanag pa ni Acel, “I see it as something I love to do. Kasi when you say career, there should be like a path…kaya nga karera. So for me, it’s definitely not a music career but most likely more of making music because I love making music.”
Bilang nais pa niyang gumawa ng musika, excited na raw siya sa kung ano ang magsisilbing inspirasyon niya sa magiging buhay niya sa abroad.
Nang tanungin naman namin siya kung ano ‘yung memorable moments niya as a singer na for sure ay madadala niya sa ibang bansa.
“That I was able to at least touch a person’s heart and soul,” sambit ng dating lead vocalist ng Moonstar88.
Esplika niya, “I think I wanted to keep on doing that. That’s the power of music. But I would definitely want to speak about life, to be really intentional on how I write my songs, to be conscious and aware to build someone or tear someone down. I wanna always be the one that speaks hope and life through my songs.”
At gaya ng nauna namin naisulat na artikulo, magkakaroon siya ng farewell concert at bagong album na pinamagatang “Being and Becoming” na mangyayari sa October 11 sa Teatrino Promenade in Greenhills, San Juan City.
“Mas tumatak na it’s a farewell concert, so that those people who want to see me, they’ll know na last na ni Acel [dito sa Pilipinas],” kwento niya.
Dagdag pa ni Acel, “So ‘yun ang in-emphasize namin and ‘yung album is a gift before I leave because it is stories of the things from the past and the struggles I experienced and what helped me become free from that.”
Aniya pa, “And I want to leave that to the listeners hoping that [it] can help them kung ano man ‘yung pinagdadaanan nila.”
Bukod diyan, nagbigay din ng mensahe si Acel para sa mga aspiring artists and musicians.
“Enjoy playing music, enjoy creating songs,” bungad niya.
Saad pa ng veteran singer, “Don’t chase fame because it will disappoint you or it will affect the joy of being able to bring the gift to really enjoy the gift of making music.”
