MusikeRAW is born from a dream- to create a solid music community starting with local Filipino music circles such as artists, lyricists, composers, instrumentalists, bands, arrangers, sound engineers, band managers, booking agents, gig venues, production houses, to recording studios, indie labels, instrument makers, music stores, filmers, social media and to the global community who currently support and will help grow Pinoy Indie Music & Culture throughout generations.

Music plays an important role in the major events of Indigenous People and THE new natives of our country: birth, wedding, harvest, healing, seeking guidance from the creator of life and a lot more. Our culture is ever evolving and so is our music, from different influences of the world to uplifting our very own. We choose to go RAW!
