And for the Record - Paperback

by Yugel Losorata (Author)

Author Yugel Losorata extracted salient points from his many years making music, being in a band, writing news and features, and keeping up with the euphoria and struggles of being a writer-musician in the Philippines. By way of narrative essays that jump from personal struggles to privileges while hobnobbing or being friends with celebrities, he crafted a true-to-life tale of a Filipino recording artist and performing musician who happens to be a rock journo, too. On one hand, Losorata stumbled enough in his attempts to crack mainstream success. But in his own right, he tasted a bountiful of small wins amid the backdrop of Philippine showbiz rich in heritage and artistry, heavy on bitter twists and turns. Losorata - songwriter, performer, music journalist, reflective - has gone through it all. He felt compelled to genuinely tell his story and share pop culture through his eyes, especially that his life mirrors that of a dreamer facing difficulties and surviving the whole shebang with dignity intact and without regrets.
