Step into the world of musical enchantment with Seksitito, a dynamic 33-year-old Malaysian Filipino R&B sensation ready to captivate hearts and souls with his debut single, “Ikaw Ang Mahal Ko”. Hailing from the vibrant city of Kuching, Seksitito is poised to make a name for himself across Malaysia and the Philippines with his soulful melodies and meaningful lyrics.
“Ikaw Ang Mahal Ko” marks Seksitito’s official debut, an independent single crafted for the Sarawakian telemovie “Kahwin Kontrak”, which premiered on the TVS YouTube platform on April 19. Directed and written by the visionary filmmaker DeeDee A’iene, the telemovie provided Seksitito a platform to introduce his music to audiences in Malaysia and the Philippines. This musical creation features a harmonious blend of English, Malay, and Tagalog lyrics, with the poignant chorus “Ikaw Ang Mahal Ko”, translating to “You are the one I love” in Tagalog, adorned with Malay phrases to enrich the song’s cultural depth.
Penned by the talented songwriting duo JayC Panganiban and Valerie Versace, and expertly composed and arranged by Farouk Bin Kamil, “Ikaw Ang Mahal Ko” signifies Seksitito’s dedication to bridging cultural boundaries and promoting R&B music awareness among Malaysian and Filipino audiences. With a vision to create more music that represents the fusion of Malaysian and Filipino elements, Seksitito aims to produce songs that resonate universally and celebrate the shared cultural heritage of both nations.
The captivating music video for “Ikaw Ang Mahal Ko” was brought to life by acclaimed director Danish Busmah from The 21Ways Film, capturing the essence of the song against the picturesque backdrop of Kuching. This visual representation impeccably complements Seksitito’s musical expression, intensifying the emotional depth of the song and inviting viewers on a visual journey through his music.
The moniker “Seksitito” holds a playful yet profound meaning, symbolising a fusion of playfulness and defiance of stereotypes. Derived from “Sexy Uncle”, the stage name invites music enthusiasts to embrace fun and intrigue, challenging the notion that males over 30, often labelled as “uncles”, possess their unique allure and charm. The name was adopted following a playful dare by a friend, signifying Seksitito’s desire to infuse creativity and unconventional charm into his musical persona.
Seksitito is on a mission to ignite passion and elevate the R&B genre, which he believes is underappreciated in today’s music landscape. With a vision to connect hearts through music and promote cultural unity, Seksitito is determined to make a significant impact on listeners in Malaysia, the Philippines, and beyond.
