Spotify, a Swedish audio streaming and media services provider founded in 2006, has become a popular platform for music lovers worldwide. Juan Karlos Labajo’s achievement on the global Spotify chart reflects his growing international recognition.

The power of Filipino music on a global platform is evident, and Labajo’s success is a testament to the talent within the local music industry.
Labajo, a Filipino-German singer, first gained popularity with his hit song “Buwan” in 2019. The OPM ballad became a blockbuster hit and solidified Labajo’s position as a rising star in the music industry.
