OPM hitmaker Maki continues to make his mark on the international music scene as he joined the star-studded lineup of Lalala Fest Manila and made a special appearance at British singer-songwriter Rex Orange County’s Manila concert.
Maki performed with Rex Orange County during his one-night exclusive show at the SM Mall of Asia Arena last Thursday (Aug. 20), where he performed some of his fan-favorite tracks including “Dilaw,” “Saan?” and “kahel na langit.”
“Totoo pala ’no, dreams do come true. Parang dati lang, nagco-cover ako ng mga Rex Orange County songs. Tapos now I’m sharing the same stage with them. We’ve come a long way, OPM,” Maki said during his performance.
Maki then joined the lineup of Lalala Fest Manila last Friday (Aug. 21), sharing the stage with international acts including Steve Lacy, FLO, Two Door Cinema Club, Matthew Ifield, alongside OPM bands Ben&Ben, Over October, Dilaw, and fitterkarma.
He also gave festivalgoers another surprise when he was joined by James Reid for a special performance of their collaboration “luck,” giving fans a live taste of their new single.
Maki’s appearance at the festival and Rex Orange County’s concert comes as he continues to bring his music to wider audiences following his recent international activities and tour across Southeast Asia.
