If you have seen the plays "Mula Sa Buwan" and "Maxie The Musical," you have heard the songs made by William Elvin who made classic and heartfelt songs that save a lot of soul into their stories. A dedicated musician and composer, William Elvin comes up with a new album to be launched this month titled Sacred/Profane/Mundane.
Though he is now living and working in Hong Kong, William comes home to the Philippines to perform for friends, family, and fans. He migrated to Hong Kong in 2013 where he is working for a PR firm and performs with his band in his free time.
He started with humble beginnings when he used to make home-recorded albums in the late 2000s, which led to the opportunity to work on several Filipino musicals from 2009 to 2016.

“Social media wasn’t as big then as it is today, so we had to rely on friends and families to sell the few copies that we personally handed over to them,” recalls William.
“Every CD sold, and every positive comment we got felt like hard-earned personal achievements.”
In 2019, coming off of his theater songwriting career in the past decade, William Elvin has returned to the do-it-yourself, free-spirited musical approach in his new album “Sacred/Profane/Mundane”.
as well as raw, visceral and intuitive musical arrangements – drawing from various influences such as The Beatles, Bob Dylan, David Bowie and Filipino alternative pop/rock acts.
Described as “brilliant”, “soulful, propulsively melodic” and “theatrical but authentic” by critics, William Elvin’s unique sound is exemplified by the album’s promotional singles:
the country/folk-inspired “(I Will Be) The Happy, Shiny One (For You), “The Last Lovers on Earth” as well as the haunting ballad “Ang Sabi Nila”, which are now gaining a growing number of listeners on Spotify and Apple Music.
Watch William Elvin perform live, with fellow musicians Roger Alcantara, Rigil Borromeo, Dana Marquez and Satur Tiamson, to launch “Sacred/Profane/Mundane” at the Black Box Theater of the PARC Foundation (494 Lt. Artiaga, San Juan, 1500 Metro Manila, Philippines) on June 25, 2019. Tuesday, at 7 PM.
Tickets are available at Ticket2Me.net.
