Quest is a fitting moniker for the musical project of Jose Villanueva III, given the emotional journey his songs provide in their impelling lyrics and euphoric sounds. With a touch of spirituality from his days as a church music director, the Filipino singer/rapper champions a sense of positivity and empowerment in his songwriting. His national basketball team found the group chants and percussive claps of “Sige Lang” rousing enough to play it before each game. But the bounce of “Champions” and huge harmonies of “Digmaan” summon just as much inspiration.
