Rising OPM artist Ian Manibale opens his heart in his latest single “Ganito Ba,” a soulful R&B track that captures the quiet vulnerability and courage of falling in love again.
Released under ABS-CBN’s DNA Music, the song dives into the emotional uncertainty of forming a deep connection—especially when past experiences have made love feel fragile and unpredictable. Written by Kiko Salazar and produced by Gabriel Tagadtad, “Ganito Ba” reflects the delicate balance between fear and hope that comes with opening one’s heart once more.
Ian first rose to prominence after finishing as runner-up in Tawag ng Tanghalan Season 5 in 2021. He further solidified his place in the music scene with another strong showing as second placer in Tawag ng Tanghalan: All-Star Grand Resbak Season 2, proving his vocal strength and emotional depth on the national stage.
Following his competition success, Ian officially stepped into the recording spotlight with his debut single “Vicente Cruz,” followed by “Laging Nasa Tabi Mo.” He has since expanded his musical repertoire through collaborations, including “Naubos Na” with Day One and “Hindi Na Mahal” with fellow TNT alum Jezza Quiogue. He is currently managed by One Music Management.
With “Ganito Ba,” Ian continues to carve his identity as an artist who isn’t afraid to embrace raw emotion—delivering music that resonates with listeners navigating love, uncertainty, and second chances.
