He&#x27;s really professional. It&#x27;s crazy. Really professional, really good energy,” she said.</p><p> My also noted how Gelo was very helpful when it comes to doing his part in the song and music video despite the language barrier.  “He just said yes to everything we asked him to do, which is amazing and really helped everyone create a good video. He&#x27;s really good.”</p><p> “He&#x27;s really easy to work with, very professional. Would just say yes to everything and would practice everything really carefully. So that&#x27;s how we did it. I just sent over the stuff, I wrote the lyrics for the rap, and he did his own flow in the song which is very great,” she added.</p><p> Gelo, in turn, expressed his gratitude for the opportunity and admitted he initially felt nervous about the international collaboration.</p><p> “I&#x27;m so grateful and so thankful that you had me for your new song,” Gelo told the Vietnamese singer. “At first, I thought I was going to be intimidated going there because I&#x27;m the only Filipino and I can&#x27;t understand.”</p><div><br/></div><blockquote class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-permalink="https://www.instagram.com/p/DXO7suFk8Sx/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading" data-instgrm-version="14" style="background:#FFF;border:0;border-radius:3px;box-shadow:0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15);margin:1px;max-width:540px;min-width:326px;padding:0;width:calc(100% - 2px)"><div style="padding:16px"><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DXO7suFk8Sx/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading" style="background:#FFFFFF;line-height:0;padding:0 0;text-align:center;text-decoration:none;width:100%" target="_blank"><div style="display:flex;flex-direction:row;align-items:center"><div style="background-color:#F4F4F4;border-radius:50%;flex-grow:0;height:40px;margin-right:14px;width:40px"><br/></div><div style="display:flex;flex-direction:column;flex-grow:1;justify-content:center"><div style="background-color:#F4F4F4;border-radius:4px;flex-grow:0;height:14px;margin-bottom:6px;width:100px"><br/></div><div style="background-color:#F4F4F4;border-radius:4px;flex-grow:0;height:14px;width:60px"><br/></div></div></div><div style="padding:19% 0"><br/></div><div style="display:block;height:50px;margin:0 auto 12px;width:50px"><br/></div><div style="padding-top:8px"><div style="color:#3897f0;line-height:18px">View this post on Instagram</div></div><div style="padding:12.5% 0"><br/></div><div style="display:flex;flex-direction:row;margin-bottom:14px;align-items:center"><div><div style="background-color:#F4F4F4;border-radius:50%;height:12.5px;width:12.5px;transform:translateX(0px) translateY(7px)"><br/></div><div style="background-color:#F4F4F4;height:12.5px;transform:rotate(-45deg) translateX(3px) translateY(1px);width:12.5px;flex-grow:0;margin-right:14px;margin-left:2px"><br/></div><div style="background-color:#F4F4F4;border-radius:50%;height:12.5px;width:12.5px;transform:translateX(9px) translateY(-18px)"><br/></div></div><div style="margin-left:8px"><div style="background-color:#F4F4F4;border-radius:50%;flex-grow:0;height:20px;width:20px"><br/></div><div style="width:0;height:0;border-top:2px solid transparent;border-left:6px solid #f4f4f4;border-bottom:2px solid transparent;transform:translateX(16px) translateY(-4px) rotate(30deg)"><br/></div></div><div style="margin-left:auto"><div style="width:0px;border-top:8px solid #F4F4F4;border-right:8px solid transparent;transform:translateY(16px)"><br/></div><div style="background-color:#F4F4F4;flex-grow:0;height:12px;width:16px;transform:translateY(-4px)"><br/></div><div style="width:0;height:0;border-top:8px solid #F4F4F4;border-left:8px solid transparent;transform:translateY(-4px) translateX(8px)"><br/></div></div></div><div style="display:flex;flex-direction:column;flex-grow:1;justify-content:center;margin-bottom:24px"><div style="background-color:#F4F4F4;border-radius:4px;flex-grow:0;height:14px;margin-bottom:6px;width:224px"><br/></div><div style="background-color:#F4F4F4;border-radius:4px;flex-grow:0;height:14px;width:144px"><br/></div></div></a><div style="color:#c9c8cd;line-height:17px;margin-bottom:0;margin-top:8px;overflow:hidden;padding:8px 0 7px;text-align:center;text-overflow:ellipsis;white-space:nowrap"><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DXO7suFk8Sx/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading" style="color:#c9c8cd;line-height:17px;text-decoration:none" target="_blank">A post shared by @mythaovu</a></div></div></blockquote><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><strong></strong></div><div><br/></div><p> Gelo then credited My for making the experience comfortable and enjoyable. “She&#x27;s always there for me. Especially when I can&#x27;t understand things, she&#x27;s always there to explain. She&#x27;s a fun person but also knows when to be in work mode. I&#x27;m just so grateful, and this is a very memorable and unique experience for me.”</p><p> He also noted similarities between the Vietnamese and Filipino production teams. “I think ang masasabi ko sa similarities ng kung paano mag work ‘yung Vietnamese is lahat sila hands-on din. They know what they want. They&#x27;re very meticulous with their vision. And they&#x27;re very collaborative, especially with the artists. Kaya kami, we didn&#x27;t have a hard time.”</p><p> With their first international collaboration being a success, My expressed interest in working on future projects with more artists. “I would love to work with even more people here in the Philippines in the future because, I think, there&#x27;s a lot more to explore and to experience. I feel like each artist would have their own thing and their own energy. And I just love to make new friends and connect with new people, and we can just make good music out of it. I would love that.”</p><p>Gelo echoed the sentiment, emphasizing the value of cultural and creative exchange. “I think through this collaboration, we can exchange ideas on how to work creatively. It&#x27;s so nice to hear from a different perspective. With our collaboration, even if it&#x27;s just four days, four days of working, hanging out, I learned a lot from her.”</p><p>He also looked forward for a collaboration with My and his group, BGYO. “Of course, we&#x27;re very open for a collaboration with My soon, if ever, with BGYO.”</p><div><strong></strong></div><blockquote class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-permalink="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DXecSQ8E7uD/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading" data-instgrm-version="14" style="background:#FFF;border:0;border-radius:3px;box-shadow:0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15);margin:1px;max-width:540px;min-width:326px;padding:0;width:calc(100% - 2px)"><div style="padding:16px"><a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DXecSQ8E7uD/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading" style="background:#FFFFFF;line-height:0;padding:0 0;text-align:center;text-decoration:none;width:100%" target="_blank"><div style="display:flex;flex-direction:row;align-items:center"><div style="background-color:#F4F4F4;border-radius:50%;flex-grow:0;height:40px;margin-right:14px;width:40px"><br/></div><div style="display:flex;flex-direction:column;flex-grow:1;justify-content:center"><div style="background-color:#F4F4F4;border-radius:4px;flex-grow:0;height:14px;margin-bottom:6px;width:100px"><br/></div><div style="background-color:#F4F4F4;border-radius:4px;flex-grow:0;height:14px;width:60px"><br/></div></div></div><div style="padding:19% 0"><br/></div><div style="display:block;height:50px;margin:0 auto 12px;width:50px"><br/></div><div style="padding-top:8px"><div style="color:#3897f0;line-height:18px">View this post on Instagram</div></div><div style="padding:12.5% 0"><br/></div><div style="display:flex;flex-direction:row;margin-bottom:14px;align-items:center"><div><div style="background-color:#F4F4F4;border-radius:50%;height:12.5px;width:12.5px;transform:translateX(0px) translateY(7px)"><br/></div><div style="background-color:#F4F4F4;height:12.5px;transform:rotate(-45deg) translateX(3px) translateY(1px);width:12.5px;flex-grow:0;margin-right:14px;margin-left:2px"><br/></div><div style="background-color:#F4F4F4;border-radius:50%;height:12.5px;width:12.5px;transform:translateX(9px) translateY(-18px)"><br/></div></div><div style="margin-left:8px"><div style="background-color:#F4F4F4;border-radius:50%;flex-grow:0;height:20px;width:20px"><br/></div><div style="width:0;height:0;border-top:2px solid transparent;border-left:6px solid #f4f4f4;border-bottom:2px solid transparent;transform:translateX(16px) translateY(-4px) rotate(30deg)"><br/></div></div><div style="margin-left:auto"><div style="width:0px;border-top:8px solid #F4F4F4;border-right:8px solid transparent;transform:translateY(16px)"><br/></div><div style="background-color:#F4F4F4;flex-grow:0;height:12px;width:16px;transform:translateY(-4px)"><br/></div><div style="width:0;height:0;border-top:8px solid #F4F4F4;border-left:8px solid transparent;transform:translateY(-4px) translateX(8px)"><br/></div></div></div><div style="display:flex;flex-direction:column;flex-grow:1;justify-content:center;margin-bottom:24px"><div style="background-color:#F4F4F4;border-radius:4px;flex-grow:0;height:14px;margin-bottom:6px;width:224px"><br/></div><div style="background-color:#F4F4F4;border-radius:4px;flex-grow:0;height:14px;width:144px"><br/></div></div></a><div style="color:#c9c8cd;line-height:17px;margin-bottom:0;margin-top:8px;overflow:hidden;padding:8px 0 7px;text-align:center;text-overflow:ellipsis;white-space:nowrap"><a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DXecSQ8E7uD/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading" style="color:#c9c8cd;line-height:17px;text-decoration:none" target="_blank">A post shared by @mythaovu</a></div></div></blockquote><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><strong></strong></div><div><br/></div><p>My also praised the singing and dancing skills of Filipinos, which is reason enough to make her want to do more collaborations. “When it comes to Filipino music, my first impression is that you guys are great singers, vocally.
