Filipino hip-hop artist Ron Henley was part of the artist lineup at the recently concluded OPM Series: Hip Hop Fest, held at the SM North Edsa Sky Dome on February 22.


In an exclusive interview with PUSH ABS-CBN, he shared that his break in the past months was due to him focusing on becoming a father.





“Sa bahay lang kasi nag-aalaga din ako ng anak. Nag-focus muna ako sa pagiging ama. Kababalik ko lang magtanghalulit. Ito nandon pa rin yung kaba, yung excitement,” Ron Henley shared.


The hip-hop star is now a proud father to his eight-month-old daughter, Shira Haza Nirvana, whom he happily brought along during his recent music fest stint.

Just last December, Ron Henley also shared his first Christmas with Shira on Instagram.





On back to performing live, the rapper-songwriter admitted that it was refreshing to have a different set of audiences, stepping away from their usual gigs with a more intimate setting.


“Parang na-expose kami sa ibang set naman ng audience. At nakaka-tuwa din na may bago kang tagapakinig. Para sa kanila fresh pa yung kinakanta mo years ago, nakakabigay ng gana ulit.” he shared.





The "Hagdan" hitmaker, along with fellow rapper, Loonie, also offered advice to emerging artists in the hip-hop scene, noting that it's okay to make mistakes and learn from them along the way.


“Gawin mo lang nang gawin, wag kang matakot magkamali. Habang maaga pa, maitatama yung mga mali. Saka siyempre, kung talagang passion mo, lahat gagawin mo para maitawid yung passion mo na 'yon. Kumbaga, gawin mo lang yung nasa puso mo, mahalin mo lang yung ginagawa mo, ‘yun lang,” he added.



The hip-hop artist also shared that in songwriting, inspiration can be found in the simplest things you encounter or experience daily.


He even revealed that his love for plants, as a self-proclaimed "plantito," served as the main inspiration for his song "Ilandasanwakan," a reversed word for "Nakaw Na Sandali.” The song featured words such as flowers, gumamela, and santan.


"Mahilig kasi ako sa mga halaman eh plantito. One time naging, ano, plantito. Kaya, isa sa mga, ano, mga naging inspirasyon ko, yung mga halaman na alaga ko,” he explained.



Fans can also expect more songs and collaborations from the rapper-songwriter.


“Sulat-sulat lang din ako, collab-collab. Last na collaboration na nagawa ko is yung with Skusta (Clee) and Yuridope,” Ron Henley shared, referencing their song "La Luna."
