Maki Makes Waves with ‘Bughaw’: A Coastal Visual Journey

Dive into the vibrant world of Maki’s latest music video featuring a star-studded cast.

Get ready, music lovers! Rising star Maki has just dropped the much-anticipated music video for his latest single, “Bughaw,” and it’s lighting up the internet today, March 13, 2025! Featuring a stellar cast that includes HORI7ON’s Kyler, comedian-singer Zeke Abella, and SBTown soloist Alexei Claire, this vibrant visual showcases the quartet in school uniforms as they bask in the enchanting blue hour of a coastal town.

The excitement for “Bughaw” began building earlier this month when Maki announced a special launch party called ‘Bughaw Hour’ on March 6. The event was held on March 12 at Matrix Creation Events in Quezon City and included an exclusive early screening of the music video. Fans were treated to live performances not only from Maki but also from Tarsier Records labelmate Angela Ken, his brother Haro from P-pop group PLUUS, and singer Dani Zam.

During the Q&A segment of the launch, Maki opened up about his experience directing the project—a thrilling venture that marks his directorial debut. “Kung hindi ‘man ako naging artist, magiging director ako (If I didn’t become an artist, I would’ve become a director),” he admitted. He acknowledged the challenges but expressed his long-standing desire to dive into directing. “Visual art is my first love so gusto ko laging na-i-incorporate ‘yun (I always want to be able to incorporate that),” he shared, highlighting his commitment to supporting the Philippine art community through his art-driven music videos.

With “Bughaw” now officially out and resonating with audiences, fans can expect a fresh blend of music, art, and heartfelt storytelling that captures the essence of youth.
