Hot on the heels of its recent appointment of seasoned record label executive and multi-platinum awarded record producer Neil Gregorio, another pillar of Original Pilipino Music is joining Widescope Advertising Agency.
As part of Widescope’s plan to build a formidable Entertainment arm, the agency is welcoming multi-awarded and hitmaking singer-songwriter Ebe Dancel as its Artist & Repertoire (A&R) Manager.
Since co-founding Sugarfree in 1999, Dancel has quickly established himself as one of the most dynamic voices not only in the alternative rock scene but in all of OPM as well. Since the band disbanded in 2011, he went on to bigger things, both as a successful solo artist and as a sought-after composer for other artists.
“I’m very happy to be part of Widescope. I like the company’s direction and I appreciate the fact that they trust me. I’ve been singing, performing and recording for over two decades now and I’m excited to share what I know with the fresh, young talents out there, artists we can develop because OPM needs to keep going so I’m going to do everything that I can to help,” Dancel said in accepting his new role.
For his part, Widescope’s Music & Entertainment Director Neil Gregorio said that the company is very excited to work with an artist of Dancel’s caliber.
“Given his expertise in songwriting and production work, I am confident that he can help mentor and supervise future Artists under our label on top of the demands of his A&R role. Aside from usual duties, I expect Ebe to put forth the knowledge he gained throughout the years as a musician and make use of it to collaborate with our artists to maximize their potentials,” Gregorio noted.
With both Dancel and Gregorio on board, Widescope Entertainment is expected to transform the advertising and entertainment industries to new and unprecedented heights.
