MANILA, PHILIPPINES – Global music powerhouse ONErpm is amplifying its presence in the Philippines through strategic partnerships and fresh artist signings, underscoring its commitment to nurturing Filipino talent on both local and international stages.
At the forefront of this expansion is Offshore Music, led by CEO and Chairman Ely Buendia, whose roster includes forward-thinking acts such as ena mori, Alyson, and M1ss Jade So. For Buendia, the collaboration was driven by ONErpm’s values of sustainability, transparency, and community-building, which align with Offshore’s long-term vision.
Ely Buendia, CEO and Chairman of Offshore Music reveals the depth of the conversations that led to the collaboration. A key factor in Offshore Music’s decision is ONErpm’s alignment with the label’s values, particularly around sustainability, transparency, and fostering genuine communities of music.
For Audry Dionisio, General Manager of Offshore Music, joining ONErpm was a natural step in realizing the label’s vision. “We have worked with Alyssa Pe Benito, ONErpm’s Marketing Manager before and with our working experience with her and OneRPM’s commitment to nurturing artist growth, we saw an opportunity to expand the label’s vision on a global stage while continuing to honor the partnerships that brought us here.”
The partnership was introduced by Alyssa “Pebs” Pe Bento, ONErpm’s Marketing Manager, who has fostered a longstanding relationship with the record label. For Pebs, the partnership represents a union rooted in shared purpose and commitment, with the goal of nurturing a music community that values authenticity, creativity, and breakthroughs. “I am grateful for their trust in me that resulted in this partnership, enabling and providing support to artists through innovative, forward-thinking strategies that remain true to their craft, ensuring that music continues to thrive and evolve with integrity in a rapidly changing industry landscape.”
Apart from Offshore Music, ONErpm is welcoming a new wave of Filipino talents to its family. Among them is Manila-based alt-rock band Fitterkarma, whose breakout single, “Pag-ibig ay Kanibalismo II,” topped the Spotify Philippines Viral 50 and went viral on TikTok and other social media platforms. Their follow-up single “Sumpa,” is set for release this Friday, October 3 on all streaming platforms.
Also on the rise is SSUNN, a band inspired by contemporary Japanese and Korean rock music. Their current single, “Nasan Na Ba Ako?” debuted at No. 35 on Spotify Philippines Viral 50 and earned a coveted spot on the cover of the .ph editorial playlist.
Presh Ong, ONErpm’s A&R Representative, also shares, “We’re ready to help our artists reach new heights, We can’t wait for the world to see and hear what they’re truly capable of.”

We’re here to help them dream bigger and go further by combining innovative technology with tailored artist strategies.”
