His latest release continues that tradition, blending rhythm, joy, and cultural pride into a track designed to uplift.“Inspiration ko lang po ay gusto ko lang po magpasaya ng mga tao po,” RK Kent shared.“Kasi despite… especially yung naapektuhan sa mga bagyo, at least man lang may maibigay akong pampasayaw, pampawala lang ng mabibigat nilang karanasan sa buhay nila, so yun ang inspirasyon ko.”RK Kent’s music has reached far beyond local borders, with his earlier hit “Rampapampam” going viral in Thailand and China before becoming a favorite among Filipino celebrities.“Yan po ay first na nag-viral sa Thailand, and then China, and then nung pag-viral na niya dito sa Pinas, sinayaw na ng mga celebrities… ayun po happy po ako,” he said. “’Di naman po lahat ng [composers], rappers, at singers at agad magva-viral kung hindi sikat… so happy po ako na ganoon yung naging resulta ng kanta.”He began writing music in 2008 and has since produced hundreds of original tracks, including campaign jingles for both national and local politicians.“Merong nanalo pero meron namang ‘di pinalad,” he said. “Pero sa lahat ng mga ginawan ko… trabaho lang, walang halong kulay, happy lang din ako… kasi may pamilya po ako, so grind lang nang grind… trabaho lang.”Despite his growing popularity, RK Kent remains grounded.“Just stay humble sa lahat,” he said. “Stay lowkey and palaging magpapasaya lang ng mga tao, ng mga listeners ng kanta ko.”When asked which celebrity he dreams of seeing dance to his music, his answer was clear: “Walang iba kun’di ang idol kong si Catriona Gray,” he said.“Nung pagsulat ko ng ‘Wow Ganda,’ naisip ko si Catriona at yung pagkapanalo niya noon.”With “Shake It Baam,” RK Kent continues to prove that viral success can come from authenticity, heart, and a deep desire to bring joy to others—one beat at a time.
