Maja Salvador and Coby USA Team Up for Dahan-Dahan in 7” Tablet

Maja Salvador and Coby USA Team Up for Dahan-Dahan in 7” Tablet

As Coby’s local brand ambassador, Maja Salvador has been granted full support by the mobile device maker since the release of her first album “Believe”, which come Pre-loaded in Coby tablets. As part of the ongoing collaboration between Coby and Maja’s record company Ivory Music, Coby has incorporated Dahan-Dahan into their latest dual core 3G tablet with TV, the MID 7015 3G (SRP P 4995 only). The Android Jellybean-run 7-incher includes the official music video for the track as part of its pre-installed applications so Maja fans can listen and sing to the tune whenever, wherever.

This collaborative venture is part of Coby USA’s goal to not only support its ambassadress’ newfound singing career, but also to provide more value to the burgeoning number of discerning smart device users in the country.

“Maja is as special to us as our consumers are. By including Maja’s tracks in our tablets, we are not only helping her achieve her singing career goals, but it is also Coby’s way of letting its consumers know that we are constantly committed to new adventures that can create additional value for our patrons” shares Coby’s local distributor.

And the 25-year old actress couldn’t be more grateful. “Surreal”, she describes, Maja says that being able to launch her own album and sing for an audience is a “dream come true” and that Coby’s unwavering support is crucial to an artist like her who’s just learning the ropes in the singing industry.

“Sobrang natuwa ako. I’m very thankful. Ever since naman ang Coby sa kahit na anong projects na ginagawa ko, talagang sinuportahan nila. Ngayon kahit paulit-ulit hanggang bago ka matulog, ‘pag gising mo puwede mo i-sing along ang Dahan-Dahan basta mayroon kang Coby tablet.”

Gusto ko ma-prove na singer din ako, na kaya kong kumanta. Parang ‘si Maja, hindi lang sya umaarte, hindi lang sya sumasayaw, pero kaya din niyang ibigay lahat sa music, sa paggawa ng isang kanta’.

It was not a long time ago when Kapamilya star, Maja Salvador, appeared on Gandang Gabi Vice and shared that she’s serious about pursuing singing as a career, “Gusto ko na, kaya nga ako nag-tour kasi 10 years na ako sa business.” She even shared that she was taking voice lessons from Annie Quintos of The Company.

“Gusto ko i-share sa kanila [sa fans] na meron akong bagong minamahal, which is yung pag-kanta. Sobrang swerte lang na may nakarinig ng boses ko from Ivory Music na yun nga, willing silang gumawa ng album ko.” It was December 2013 when Maja signed a recording contract with Ivory Music & Video. After months of excitement and anticipation, the actress-turned-singer unleashes her talent in singing with her debut album BELIEVE!

Produced by award-winning arranger and producer, Jonathan Ong, the album features 8 tracks including her first single “Dahan-Dahan” and the sure-to-be hit collaboration with hip-hop star Abra called “Halikana”. Maja Salvador also awakens the songwriter in her as she co-writes a track called “Buong Gabi” featuring Project Pinas.

The “Dance Princess” shared that this album is a dream come true for her as not everyone is given the chance to have a record deal, “Hindi lahat sumusugal na bigyan ng album ang isang artista so I’m very thankful. Sobrang naa-amaze ako sa nangyayari sa akin today.”

She admitted that the recording process wasn’t an easy ride for her since it’s a first-time endeavor to record a music album, but all was well with the help of the engineers at Sonic State Studios. “Parang nung umpisa, hindi ko alam kung tama ba yung ginagawa ko kasi first time ko mag-record ng kanta [at] first time ko gumawa ng album pero nahanap ko rin yung placement ng voice ko,” she confesses.

Surreal would be the best word to explain her feeling when she heard her first single “Dahan-Dahan” on the radio, “Nung una ko siyang narinig sa radyo, nakatulala lang ako kasi parang hindi parin ako makapaniwala.” In fact, her first single hit the radio airwaves and music charts by storm. After its first week of airing, “Dahan-Dahan” reached as high as #1 on the radio charts including MOR Dagupan. It’s also one of the top-selling songs on iTunes and her song landed on the top spot along with foreign artists since its release on March 6, 2014.

Maja is just beyond grateful to be enjoying the blessings coming her way, “Grabe na yung nangyayari sakin ngayon, yung mga blessings na dumating talaga na parang dun lang ako nagising talaga nung narinig ko na siya sa radyo na eto na, totoo talaga na meron na akong album.
