Coming out of Last Piñas City is our very first Artist of the Month here in Pinoy-Youtube. Youtube user EPSKY68, more popularly known as Jephone Petil comes from a family of musicians who inspired him to get into music himself. He learned to how to play the guitar at the age of 11 with the help of his older brother. After being separated from his “Kuya” who used to teach him how to play the guitar, Jephone was forced to master it by himself. I guess with the 14 original compositions he has posted in Youtube so far, it’s easy to assume that he did a great job at that.
I personally first bumped into one of Jephone’s videos while I was searching for Sugarfree’s song Kailan Ka ba?, but instead of that song, I found one of his oldest videos “Kailan Ba?” which is my personal favorite. I had the song recorded on my phone, and it’s been on my playlists for more than a year now. However, that song “Kailan Ba?” was deleted by Jephone himself because he sold it along with the song called “Move on” to a friend who is also a very promising youtube artists Joan Da.
Inspired by his ex-girlfriend, Jephone wrote his first song called "Ikaw ang Buhay Ko". The same girl who inspired him to write the song "Henya" which is a song about a guy who's still waiting for an ex-lover, someone who is hesitant and still unsure about the break-up and somehow he still hopes that the girl would come back (Henya according to him is the Tagalog codename of his ex-gf named Jenny). Jephone told me however that his favorite song is "Maghihintay". Great lyrics accompanied with a lively melody, it's no wonder anyone who hears it is bound to get the LSS (Last song Syndrome). The song seems to be the viewers favorite as well and even most of the students in his school knows it.

"Music is my passion, I've been doing it since I was a kid, sabi nila, very unique daw ng music ko, ahehe, kasi before i make a song, 1st dapat maganda ang melody, then 2nd, need ko ng inspiration and 3rd dapat iyong inspirasyon kong una na pag narinig na niya ung music ko, dapat sapul na sapul sya! hahaha, I get my inspirasyon from my past of course and sometimes sa mga friends ko hinihingi ko iyong mga sitwasyon ng lovelife nila, and ayon ang ginagawa kong kanta, such as "nasaan na:", "kailan ba", "my love my friend", "hahayaan ko ba" and "move on"--Jephone Petil
