Aiza Seguerra
Intimate, guitar-led ballads that feel like a whispered secret. Gentle Filipino pop for quiet afternoons and reflective, late-night solitude.

Ice Seguerra (formerly Aiza) is a pivotal figure in the Philippine music industry, representing a shift from the 'birit' (power-belting) culture toward an acoustic, singer-songwriter aesthetic in the early 2000s. Originally a child star in the 1980s, Seguerra successfully transitioned into a serious musical career with the multi-platinum success of 'Pagdating ng Panahon.'
His sound identity is built on 'acoustic pop' characterized by nylon-string guitar work and an alto vocal range that emphasizes clarity and emotional sincerity over technical showmanship. Throughout the 2000s, he became the face of the 'Acoustic Revival' in the Philippines, influencing a generation of artists to embrace stripped-back arrangements. Beyond music, Seguerra is a significant cultural figure as a prominent transgender man in Philippine public life, having served in government roles and advocated for LGBTQ+ rights. Critical consensus highlights his impeccable pitch and the 'healing' quality of his timbre. His work often bridges the gap between traditional OPM (Original Pilipino Music) sensibilities and modern folk-pop, maintaining a legacy of 'hugot' (deep emotional) music that remains a staple of Filipino radio and karaoke culture.
