Tarsier Records’ Class of 2021 signed off with a gift to music fans worldwide, showcasing live performances as they spread gratitude and say thank you to the year that has passed.
TY 2021—which references the label’s Class of 2021 execution earlier this year (Tarsier Yearbook 2021) as well as simply being a way of saying “Thank You 2021”— streamed live on Dec. 29 on the YouTube channels of Tarsier Records, ABS-CBN Star Music, and One Music PH.
The line-up was top billed by legends such as KZ Tandingan, Bugoy Drilon, and Sam Concepcion and completed with fresh performances from this year’s new signees: TikTok sensation Zion Aguirre; Spotify RADAR Philippines artist allen&elle; a new girl group New Flame; and former The X Factor UK contestant and member of United Vibe, Jon Guelas, to name a few. Fans can also look out for a special treat from Monarch star and Tarsier artist, Iñigo Pascual.
The live online concert ran for a full hour and featured never-before-heard live versions of Tarsier’s original releases. Viewers can join the celebrations for free in the comfort of their own homes.
Tarsier Records was established in 2017 as the international arm of ABS-CBN Music with a roster of eight artists and a goal of connecting the local scene with the global market. Four years later and as the curtains close on 2021, that number has grown to over 25 artists with nearly 200 songs in their catalog.
