ARMAND TJ: ONE Island, ONE World
The anthems “Bora-Bora-Boracay,” “See You in the Philippines,” and “One Island, One World” are original songs by Armand TJ. Not only are these songs heard and sung by audiences in Boracay Island in the Philippines, they have reached and echoed throughout the far corners of the globe. These songs were heard by the hundreds who gathered to hear him jam on the beaches of Barcelona and Rio de Janeiro. He was heard by tourists along the canals of Venice as he performed on a water taxi. Heard in an underground art gallery in Amsterdam, in the pubs of London, in the hostels of Thailand and Bali, and sung in the dragon boat festivals of Berlin. His music leaves a lasting impression on the hearts of every backpacker who yearns to live a life less ordinary.
As a performer, he has played in the most unusual venues – a hair salon in Switzerland, or gathering crowds at the Amsterdam Central Station piano, busking at a street food alley in Taipei, even doing an intimate concert in a wine cellar in Eger, Hungary. The numbers of his audiences vary too, from jamming on a beach for six people in Dubai to performing in front of 7,000 people for an event in Gothenburg, Sweden—his biggest crowd abroad to date.
In 2021, Armand eventually reached another milestone when he accepted the invitation to perform in Brazil. Back in 2014, he was in Rio de Janeiro upon winning the “Sony We Are One” video contest with his “One Island, One World” music video. During his second visit, however, he found himself immersed deeper in the music and spirit of the Brazilian people. He’s also performed in hostels and bars, and did some collaboration recordings with Brazilian artists.
His music spans various genres whether it be reggae, pop, EDM, or world music. As a singer songwriter, his topics ranges about love, travel, world events, even politics. His “One Island, One World” phrase, which started as lyrics to a song, has become his life’s quest in using the universal language of music to celebrate humanity as one race, as one world, as one story.
Armand is currently preparing for his world tour with his GoFundMe campaign. He aims to keep traveling with his music, and performing in as many extraordinary venues in as many cities and islands across the globe.
