Ian Jake Robleza

About

Ian Jake Robleza is a 23 year-old Filipino American singer-songwriter/audio engineer from Aurora, Illinois. Alongside the self-release of his first two albums and a handful of singles, Ian has recently graduated from Columbia College Chicago, majoring in Audio Arts and minoring in Philosophy. His latest EP is the turn of a new leaf- “How I’ve Been” is an oddly personal insight into a new chapter of his young adult life. Opening with the title track, “Wabash Ave” propels us into his new surroundings, encountering themes of exploration, self-image, and infatuation. The second track, “Liana”, only takes us deeper into that personal rabbit hole, as we find ourselves asking the question of who the song was really written about. “Taking a Toll” is the slower third track, reflecting on the aftermath of the pandemic, and how we go about making a connection with people again after all that isolation. The final track, “Qualia” is a candid response to the age old question: “Why do you love them?” as he attempts to explain how falling in love is a deeply personal experience that no one could ever perfectly encapsulate through words alone. This next collection of songs sees Ian at his most professional, yet most lighthearted, taking the listener through this brief moment in the beginning of his 20s. Now that I'm done talking in third person... (it's a formality thing apparently lol) Follow me on my socials to get the inside scoop!! - Ian :)
