A sonic shift win

As the pulsating beats of “Sandal” echo through the airwaves, VXON reflects on the journey of creating a sound that diverges from its usual repertoire. Franz, with a glint of sincerity in his eyes, shares, “Honestly, we felt very nervous about releasing a sound that is not familiar with us. It was a risk.” The pressure was palpable, the anticipation high. Yet, the risk paid off, and positive feedback came in.

C13, with a nod to the unconventional sound, adds, “We were kind of nervous at first on how the people would take it. So we were happy once we saw online that a lot of people appreciate it and love Sandal.” The proof of success lies not just in numbers but in the dance covers flooding TikTok, proof of the song’s infectious vibe.

Lights, camera, domination

For VXON, conquering the charts is just the beginning. C13 shares, “As an artist, we want to dominate the charts, release more singles, and go on international and domestic tours.” The group envisions bringing P-pop internationally, showcasing the world true Filipino talent.

The conversation takes a turn toward the realm of acting and modeling. Sam expresses with excitement, “I really enjoyed that. It gives me another perspective into someone’s life. I’m really aiming to beat myself last year, because last year, I was just training for VXON.” As the group contemplates expanding into acting and modeling, Enzo playfully adds, “I’ve been dreaming of walking around runways but I’ve just been walking on hallways so far.”

Monstrous trendsetters

VXON isn’t just making waves in the music scene; they aim to set fashion trends with their distinctive styles. Each member brings a unique touch to the group’s collective aesthetic.

C13 confesses, “I like designer brands like Louis Vuitton,” reflecting his affinity for formal occasions. Sam, on the other hand, embraces street and smart casual styles, proudly proclaiming, “I’m not really into branded stuff; most of my clothes are from the thrift shop.” Patrick and Sam share a love for streetwear and the thrill of thrifting. Franz gravitates toward colorful outfits that align with his vibrant personality. Enzo envisions minimalism in streetwear, his style mirroring his desire for simplicity.

Their stylist, Myrrh Lao To, integrates the creations of local designers into VXON’s distinctive style. Their receptivity to a spectrum of styles and eagerness to explore positions them not only as chart-toppers but as trendsetters in the dynamic world of P-pop.

As VXON continues their musical and stylistic journey, one thing is certain—they’re not just creating music; they’re crafting an experience that resonates far outside the charts. “Sandal” is a statement—a monstrous sound with distinct Filipino flavor that marks the beginning of VXON’s ascent to prominence.

Turning pressure into brotherhood

Within the arena of P-pop, where every beat counts and competition is the air you breathe, VXON grapples with the intensity with a unique perspective. C13, with a calm demeanor, shares, “Well, in this industry, coming in, we already knew that there’s a lot of pressure. But what we do is we take all the negativity and turn it into positivity.” It’s a mantra that not only shields them from the pressure but propels them forward.

The camaraderie within the group becomes evident as C13 expresses gratitude, saying, “I’m also thankful that whenever there’s someone who’s going through something, there’s four of us who are there. They’re present to help the member and to cheer that member up.” VXON isn’t just a musical collaboration, but a support system, a brotherhood that weaves a safety net beneath the tightrope of the industry.

Franz chimes in, shedding light on the unique dynamics of P-pop, “What’s great with P-pop is that we don’t really treat each other like competitors. We treat each other like brothers and sisters.” In an industry where cutthroat competition often reigns, VXON finds strength in unity, turning the pressure into a source of motivation rather than an obstacle.

These monsters go beyond crafting tunes. They are architects of an immersive experience that extends the conventional bounds of chart success. “Sandal” is not just a track; it serves as a declaration—a composition signifying the initiation of the group’s ascent to both artistic and sartorial distinction. 

As VXON forges ahead on their musical path, they emerge as an interplay of collaboration and positivity amidst unyielding competition. The harmonic identities they build stretch above their tunes, reverberating in the friendship they foster and the tenacity they embody.
