Meriel De Jesus takes pride in her Cebuano heritage, using her exposure to Bisaya pop to craft lyrics that resonate with people's lives. [...] Her affinity for lyrics like 'But let me tell you, don't go too far / And just enjoy this artistic room of ours / This empty canvas that they misunderstood / I wanna paint you in it but I'm not good' comes from the environment in Cebu that she grew up with: Vispop.
