Arnoldg

Jude Cartalaba

<p>Arnoldg is a singer-composer and a genuine artist who passionately puts his heart and soul into his songs. He shares his personal stories of life and love and weaves them into beautiful music for his audience. Like his track Nonchalant, around 90% of his songs were born from true-to-life experiences while the remaining 10% came from inspirational stories he has read, watched, or shared with him by others. </p><p>&quot;In my experience, real-life situations were always inspiring to write about. It helps with crafting original songs because nothing is more original than our experiences, thoughts, and takes in love and life. It makes the song one of a kind,&quot; he shares. </p><p>As an individual, he has been into the boy&#x27;s love (BL) theme since 2018 when he started being honest about himself, his identity, orientation, and preferences. Music started as a passion for him that has led to a fulfilling career and eventually turned into an advocacy. </p><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-0" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/C42m9TlLlJs/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fnews-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A0%2C%22os%22%3A364695%2C%22ls%22%3A364200.2999999989%2C%22le%22%3A364205.0999999996%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="702" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-0" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><strong>-- His creative process is spontaneous --</strong></div><p>&quot;In most cases, I usually start with a melody in mind then the lyrics will follow, but sometimes I do it in vice-versa. </p><p>&quot;Sometimes I call it magical moments, I record myself in the zone of a sing and play. I will end up with a rough demo with both the melody and lyrics done during this creative process [at the same time].&quot; </p><p>He always has his phone notes and voice memo application ready, in case an idea suddenly comes up.  It is in one of these magical moments that his latest track, Nonchalant, was composed. </p><p>&quot;As an artist, my advocacy has always been to believe in love no matter how tough life gets. The Nonchalant music video is the prologue of my whole brand.&quot; </p><div><strong>-- Nonchalant, his latest track -- </strong></div><p>The song is a pop alternative upbeat track that tells about a favorite theme in a love story, which opposites attract. His musical ingenuity came into play on the subject and infused the song with his personal experience. </p><p>Nonchalant is inspired by an over-acting (OA) person writing a courtship love song to his nonchalant crush. He&#x27;s a self-proclaimed OA-type person who can express his romantic feelings by composing a song for a love interest. The track reminds the listeners of how it feels to have a crush who cannot easily decode the obvious love signs.  </p><p>Arnoldg shares, &quot;I started composing the song the night I met my nonchalant crush. When I got home, as a creative, my mind kept looking into the narrative and started writing about it. I was so frustrated with his &#x27;nonchalant persona&#x27; that we didn&#x27;t get to talk as much and I started writing the verse and chorus.&quot; </p><div><strong>-- Being the Protagonist of His Romantic Story --</strong></div><p>He has become the protagonist of his piece.</p><p>&quot;As soon as I got home, I was under his spell and my Nonchalant track was done and ready for production,&quot; he reveals. </p><p>He identifies himself as a proud man who is gender fluid, &quot;I don&#x27;t [really] care whether you&#x27;re a man, woman, transgender, etc.&quot; </p><p>For him, gender identity is not an issue, &quot;When it comes to my sexual identity, for now, I can be considered who they call &quot;Questioning Identity&quot; in the spectrum of the LGBTQIA+ community.  </p><p>He met again with his crush after more than a week and they ended up working together. He shares that his working relationship with my crush is friendly yet professional, as it should be. For now, it&#x27;s just a crush.</p><p>He admits, &quot;I think, a crush never goes away unless the person does something outrageous. It only fades because a new crush comes by who deserves me, my love, and more credibility to have a future and build a life with.&quot; </p><p>Today, he stresses that anyone can relate to the song, &quot;Experience or feelings, everything is pretty new to me.  I think we can get that sense of familiarity from our past relationships with anyone we meet, and I did. But after a while, we get to see that everyone is different from each other.  </p><p>&quot;I want to deliver a different theme of narratives where the experience of a homo-relationship is the same as a hetero-relationship. At the end of the day, we&#x27;re all just human beings in love. And I want to convey that message through my Nonchalant music video.&quot; </p><p>He wants to communicate a promise that love is limitless. That love has always been immeasurable. For someone who loves music, which began when he was young--he&#x27;s relentless in making a mark in the music industry. </p><p>Apart from composing and singing, he plays the guitar and keyboard and knows basic drums and music production, too. He dreams that someday he can collaborate with local artists like Moira Dela Torre, KZ Tandingan, Yeng Constantino, and James Reid. </p><p>Nonchalant is coming out with a music video in a BL theme. It is now available on all streaming services like iTunes, Apple Music, Spotify, YouTube, etc., and through his socials with the handle @heyitsarnoldg.</p>
