Artstrong Clarion and Kitchie Nadal The fresh faces of local pop music

He’s a hip-hop artist. She belts out rock. He’s into jazz, neo-soul and R&B. She’s a studious gal who struggled her way up to music fame. Artstrong Clarion and Kitchie Nadal may be poles apart when it comes to their choice of music. But they are two of the country’s most promising recording talents to date—fresh additions to the highly saturated genre of pop music.

On November 13, these two young talents will finally shine on the big stage as they perform in a grand concert at the Folk Arts Theater. Dubbed “Pop Ko ’To,” the all-star, all-hits event features Warner’s OPM pop music roster, led by acoustic artist Paolo Santos, R&B singer Nina, ballad performer Christian Bautista, Pido, Dice & K9 and Thor, among many others.
