Hi, I'm Ari. I've been passionate about music for as long as I can remember. I started my YouTube channel in 2019, where I love to share cover videos. That's also when I discovered busking. I saw the first busking set in Lipa when I was 16, but my parents didn't let me join because they weren't familiar with the culture.Three years later, just before Christmas, Piyo invited me to join his busking set. That experience made me want to explore busking even more. I did my first solo busking set in Merrylane. Although school keeps me busy, I’m determined to continue busking whenever I can, even with my packed schedule.
