By Earl David
Popular acoustic band MYMP has released its new album under Ivory
Records called “New Horizon.” The brand new album includes three
songs written by noted Boholano hit songwriter Jimmy Borja who hails
from Loay town but who now lives in Southern California.
MYMP lead vocalist Juris Fernandez personally asked Borja to write
songs for their album. Juris father, Roger Fernandez traces his
roots to Loay. MYMP is one of the premiere acts in the Philippines
today, fresh from a U.S tour and a multi-platinum debut album.
Borja also wrote the recent hit of Philippine pop princess Sarah
Geronimo “I Still Believe In Loving You.” Last year, he also had a
major hit “If The Feeling Is Gone” with R & B artist Kyla.
MYMP’s latest CD features a Christmas song composed by Borja called
“Soon It’s Christmas.” Christmas songs always have a special meaning
to Borja, his first major hit song was a Christmas ballad “Sana
Ngayong Pasko”, first popularized by Ariel Rivera. Over the years,
“Sana Ngayong Pasko” has been recorded by countless other artists
including Lea Salonga, Jolina Magdangal, Sharon Cuneta and most
recently by Jed Madela. It has now become a Christmas classic,
played on radio and performed on television year after year and even
used in TV commercials.
Borja also penned the Lani Misalucha mega hit “Bukas Na Lang Kita
Mamahalin and his songs have been recorded by a diverse bunch of
artists like Ogie Alcasid, Carol Banawa, Dingdong Avanzado, Jessa
Zaragosa, Janno Gibbs, Chad Borja, Pops Fernandez, Roselle Nava,
Ella May Saison, Agot Isidro, Jaya, Zsazsa Padilla, to name a few.
He also has songs on upcoming releases of Rachelle Ann Go, Mark
Bautista and bossa nova artist Sofia.
In the U.S., he has performed in various songwriter venues. Last
December 14, he performed at Hallenbecks in North Hollywood in a
special Songwriter Showcase sharing the stage with American
songwriter Lois Blaisch who composed “Could Have Been” popularized
by Tiffany and Jessica Simpson.
