MIKOY MORALES SINGS ABOUT BEING LOVE SICK IN NEW SINGLE “PUSONG HINDI MAKATULOG”

After working for several years behind the scenes, writing songs for fellow GMA Artist Center artists like Julie Anne San Jose and Rita De Guzman, and composing theme songs for various Kapuso series, talented singer-songwriter Mikoy Morales has finally taken his rightful place under the spotlight with the launch of his latest single “Pusong Hindi Makatulog.”

At the launch of his single last April 28 2016 at the Music Hall in Metrowalk in Pasig, Mikoy revealed that he was inspired by the plight of the lovesick insomniac. The experience of people who can’t sleep because they miss someone or they are simply nursing a broken heart piqued his curiosity as a songwriter.

With simple yet powerful lyrics like, “Hindi mapantayan ng liwanag ng buwan ang ‘yong ilaw. Hanggang kailan kaya ako maghihintay na ikaw ay maramdaman? Ako rin ba’y iniisip mo, oh? Habang ako’y nangungulila sa’yo? Oh tumatakbo ang pusong di pa makatulog,” Mikoy has indeed captured the “hugot” of the broken hearted. 

In an interview with GMA News, Mikoy revealed that he likes to capture the “hugot” of people in his songs; in fact he considers it to be his trademark. In all of his songs there will always be a little – or a lot – of “hugot” in there.  But if people think the 4 years it took for Mikoy to finally launch his own single had some “hugot” attached to it too, the singer who entered showbiz via the talent search Protégé back in 2012 explained that it took some time before he released his own music because he wanted to make his own sound and be sure about his own sound. In fact, Mikoy enjoyed the last 4 years because it helped him identify, hone and sharpen his identity as a musician. Intrinsic in that sharpening was the music of Ebe Dancel and Martin Nievera who are some of his musical inspirations.

Mikoy has also tried his hand at acting. He was part of the cast of TV programs Marimar, More Than Words, Pepito Manaloto, and Villa Quintana. He will soon be playing his first lead role in a movie in the indie flick 4 Days directed by award-winning director Adolf Alix. Incidentally, “Pusong Hindi Makatulog” will also be part of the soundtrack of 4 Days.

To those who enjoyed the soul-baring music of Mikoy there will definitely be more where that came from; his album which will be filled with all-original songs will be released by the end of the year.

Perpetually on a journey to improve himself as a musical artist, Mikoy hopes to collaborate with more artists in his future songs. When he isn’t busy with his showbiz career Mikoy enjoys life behind the spotlight as a Music Business Management student in MINT College.

“Pusong Hindi Makatulog” is available for download on iTunes, Spotify, and Deezer.
