Following her recent confirmation for a performance at the 2025 South by Southwest (SXSW) Music Festival, indie pop/soul sensation MURI is set to represent the Philippines at this year’s Bangkok Music City (BMC).
MURI, the acclaimed singer-songwriter known for her unique blend of R&B, jazz, soul, and indie pop, will take the global stage alongside 58 artists from Thailand and more than 18 international artists.
“I believe there’s a wealth of untapped potential for artists to connect within ASEAN, and I’m thrilled to perform in Bangkok for the first time,” shares the rising Filipino act. “I’ve also heard so much about the Thai music scene and can’t wait to check out Thai and regional musicians while I’m there. And hopefully give them a little taste of what Filipino music is too.”
As she continues to captivate international and local audiences, MURI is also preparing to release a string of exciting new tracks, including collaborations with music producers from Japan, Malaysia, and her home country, the Philippines. “2025 has just been kicking off with a bang. I feel so grateful for all these opportunities, and I’m looking forward to performing and pushing out new music, including some collaborations and my own solo work.”
The good news doesn’t stop there: Apart from her stints at SXSW and Bangkok Music City, Muri will be throwing her own send-off party on March 22, 2025, at Sixty32 Cocktail Lounge in Rockwell, Makati City. Fans can expect a memorable evening, as MURI is joined by an incredible lineup: award-winning singer-songwriter Clara Benin, indie-folk band The Ransom Collective, and promising newcomer OZO. The intimate show is co-produced by GNN, in partnership with Locked Down Entertainment and NYOU. Tickets are available via https://www.bit.ly/murisendoff.
Late last year, MURI released her debut EP, 11ème, which takes listeners on a journey through the artist’s experiences across different cultures and cities. She also showcased her new music at the AXEAN Music Festival in Bali, Indonesia, in September 2024.
Bangkok Music City is touted as the “pioneer music conference and showcase festival in Thailand,” and will take place on March 1 and 2, 2025, at the Charoenkrung Creative District in Bangkok. Its return in 2025 is spearheaded by Live Nation Tero, Fungjai, and Nylon Thailand.
