Bloom where you are planted.

This saying serves as a life mantra for singer-composer and music producer Jungee Marcelo, known for the many hit songs that he has created.

To name just a few, here goes: Zia Quizon’s “Ako Na Lang,” Gary Valenciano’s “Hataw Na” and “Sa Yaweh Ang Sayaw,” KZ Tandingan’s “Labo,” Daniel Padilla’s “Nasa Iyo Na Ang Lahat,” Darren Espanto’s “Alam,” Kyla & Reese Lansangan’s “Salbabida,” Morissette Amon’s “Diamante.”

Jungee, who’s also a multi-awarded composer says, “Giving God full control doon sa gusto mong mangyari sa buhay mo. Kung saan masaya si Lord ilagay ka, doon ka.”

In other words, Jungee has learned the gift of acceptance and grace to go with it. He credits this to his very personal relationship with God. 

Jungee Marcelo has released a reimagined version of “Kung Saan Ka Masaya” featuring Sponge Cola as the first single of his upcoming album “Anniverseries.”

The pop-rock track was composed by Jungee and produced by Sponge Cola and Joey Santos of Love One Another Sound Production. It was first recorded by Yeng Constantino in 2012 and by Daniel Padilla in 2013.

“Kung Saan Ka Masaya” is one of the tracks from his upcoming album under Star Music  which will feature a collection of his reimagined hits to be performed by various OPM artists such as Sunkissed Lola, Ben&Ben, and more. 

“I always love coining words, putting two words together. So I figured I’m celebrating a lot of anniversaries, anniversary of songs like ‘Hataw Na’ and ‘Sa Yaweh ang Sayaw’ which I wrote for Gary V is celebrating 30 years, ‘Nasa Iyo Na Ang Lahat’ is celebrating almost 15 years.”

He launched the album during his 60th birthday concert also called “Anniverseries” held May 9 at the Greenhills Christian Fellowship auditorium. 

He has also won in songwriting festivals locally such as the Metropop, Himig Handog, PhilPop, and internationally such as the Asia Songfest, Shanghai Songfest, and Musika Manila International Songfest.
