Rappler Talk Entertainment: 1Z Entertainment on creating the next great girl group 

"We're doing this for our passion, not to compete" - love this from Kuya Yani

This interview highlights the intelligence of Yani and Pablo. I'm amazed

SB19 is so lucky to have Yani de Dios to be at the helm of operations. His entrepreneurial and management skills are evident on how fast 1z is able to grow. From Yani doing the dirty work of fixing the old studio to this new studio you will see in him as much passion and dedication to bring 1Z to success. Yani is the backbone of SB19. If they say Justin is the visual of SB19 Yani is both the visual and the spine of 1Z.💚💚💚

I think 1Z entertainment , SB19, can make a difference in the Philippine music industry

Yani's support for his younger brother Justin is truly admirable. He resigned from his work as Financial Consultant of a big company just to support Justin & extended it to Justin's group SB19. Ngayon isa na siya sa haligi ng 1Z na patuloy susuporta sa pangarap at goal ng SB19 brothers niya. Wish SB19 & 1Z nothing but success & continuous blessing.

Most importantly, this new girl group will need to understand humility and how this was one of the main reasons why we A'tins love our mahalima aside from their exceptional talents and skills. So, even though this girl group will somehow be sheltered by 1Z, they should know that humility shines naturally and that's something you can't stage. I can't wait to meet this new girl group. More power 1Z family. Please don't ever change as you reach your peak.

This is the other side of Pablo as 1Z's CEO. His stance and delivery prove his leadership and passion in the company. I am mesmerized all the time with Pablo's persona. 💗💗💗

Wow. The aura of this interview is very businesslike and formal. Also, it's my first time to hear Sir Yani discuss things like this. I know Pau is serious and strict but usually when he is with brothers, he is smiley and goofy sometimes . But now nkaturn on business mode. He is not SB19 Pablo here. I can really feel CEO JOHN PAULO NASE.

Pablo as a CEO, plus Justin brother is also eloquent. It’s so good to have educated artists.

Pablo's sincerity and passion is very authentic. Here, he forgets that he is the artist Pablo and just looks at forming the group in the eye a mentor or teacher who has reached the peak of his artistry. A visionary. Nakaka-proud talaga. Hinding-hindi magsasawang mahalin, suportahan, at protektahan ka, PABLO.

Iba rin talaga kapag Si John Paulo Nase as CEO na ang nagsasalita. Lalo syang gumuwapo sa paningin ko😍🥰💙💙💙💙💙

Ang smart ng sagot nilang 2. Si Pablo, grabe yung sagot, kita mo talaga yung gusto nyang mangyari sa 1z, he has his vision and focus lang talaga sa goal. Tuloy nyo lang yan, nandito ang A'tin para suportahan kayo sa lahat ng endeavours nyo. SB19 is such an inspiration for all to dream big and find ways on how you can achieve your goals.

*SB19's willingness to take risks to shake the status-quo is their point of DIFFERENCE from other OPM artists. it takes a certain amount of courage and audacity for a group with a newly- established company backing them up to stand for themselves and simply say what they think and simply do what they believe is necessary to uplift an industry they so loved. establishing 1Z to support their vision for Filipino music is SB19 being both artists and visionaries keeping the dream of bringing Filipino music to the global stage alive. they are status-quo shakers for pushing a subgenre/style (ppop) to a new direction that spawned a number of other ppop grps along the way. they keep messing with the status quo and keep on introducing innovation (artistic-, management-, production-wise), i am certain that SB19 and 1Z are likely to leave an enduring LEGACY. tysm Rappler and sir Gelo for such an insightful interview with Pablo and kuya Yani.*

It must be an honor to be trained by the pioneers of P-Pop. You can see how 1Z and SB19 love the industry so much, that they would like to see it thrive and reach its full potential. What a commendable feat to impart knowledge to aspiring artists. This is Pablo proving his thoughtfulness once again. He is such a giving artist. Also, Yani has been a rock for the boys and 1Z fam from the beginning. I'm excited to see how these creative minds work their wonders in the industry.

Imagine 1Z growing into a corporation and having a whole building of their own in the future ❤❤❤

IZ's decision to create a girl group not to compete but to nurture high-caliber talents reflects a commendable commitment to artistic mentorship and innovation within the Filipino pop industry. By focusing on developing talent rather than competition, they prioritize collaboration and growth, potentially fostering a supportive environment for emerging artists. This approach not only showcases their dedication to expanding musical diversity but also underscores their role as pioneers in shaping the future of Filipino pop music. It's a refreshing perspective that emphasizes empowerment and community in the entertainment landscape.

Andito lng ang A'tin willing to support new girl group of sb19❤❤

Sobrang swerte ng gg ng 1Z. Grabe a management that listens to the artist and not just hungry for power and money. Makikita yung scencerity when it comes to honing the artist talaga and for them to stand on their own. Hands down 👏👏

SB19, 1Z staff are visionary , they want others to fly , to achieve heights

Pablo is really eloquent. Even Kuya Yani's good in communication skills.

Deserved.talaga ni kuya Yani sa 1Z entertainment as COO, one of the brains sa 1Z

i love how 1Z genuinely want OPM/PPOP to rise. At this point, I know the Philippines' music industry is safe with this kind of perseverance. I trust in you, 1Z entertainment ✊🏻

Pablo talaga is very impressive. I rarely watch entertainment interviews pero ito tinapos ko from start to finish. Excited na din ako sa bubuoing girl group nila.

SB19 , 1Z entertainment - to leave legacy , to impart knowledge to new talents

Ang genius ni Pablo, this is the right time to create a new ppop group. 1Z Entertainment will be successful, it's CLEAR. I bet salang sala magiging talents nila.💯👏👏 babalikan ko to after a couple of years.

sa girl group na mapipili ng sb19, is lucky kasi mag kakaroon sila ng magagaling na mentor/coach

i love how Pablo is consistent to his vision.

Grabeng mindset ng buong 1Z, it makes me so excited sa future ng opm, hopefully more companies that shares this goal pops up in the future, so we can slowly change the industry for the better. 👏👏👏

SB19 is really the trailblazer. I am not threatened at all kung may mga mas popular sa kanila kasi everyday lahat sila ay moving up, continuously honing their craft, and they own the company. they are the decision makers. hindi sila naka kahon na nalilimitahan ang kanilang pagkilos. Never sila naglabas ng puchu puchu na projects and products, para lang makasabay sa hype.

Gandang interview, splendid. Both guys eye-candies. Si Pablo kahit 29 lang ang vision to the moon. Can't take take my eyes off them both. God Bless 1Z and SB19.

1Z and SB19 breaking the norms. Let's go! Excited for your new babies.

1Z and SB19 are definitely doing what they preach. These young minds will surely flourish. People will be amazed how these boys work hard for the benefit bigger than themselves.

It is so nice to hear this conversation. Thank you Rappler for this. I’m so excited for OPM / PPop because I can feel how passionate they are to support Filipino talent. Thank you 1Z and SB19!

Sino dito ang sobrang namangha kay CEO Pablo and COO Kuya Yani 😳🤯 ….. 🙋 Me inulit ulit 3x panoorin itong interview na to ang sarap nila pakinggan mag explain and give their input and output ng mga brains nakaka mahanga talaga mag explain ni Pinuno his knowledge in Music and Life experience ay ibang level wohooooo tapos ito pang si Kuya Yani grabe. For me this is it. It’s about time for 1Z and SB19 to impart their knowledge talaga and nakaka excite sa magging next chapter ng journey nila 🥹 Nakaka proud grabe little by little its all happening their visions and advocacy is coming into reality “We are doing this out of Passion not to compete” - Kuya Yani “We want to establish our own Foot prints” - Kuya Yani “Their Legacy in the Making” - Kuya Yani “When you’re herd by an environment, there’s no where to go but Up” - Pablo 🤭 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Excited na for SB19 and 1Z Entertainment Family. Napaka swerte ng mga successful Babies ni Pablo 😄 (trainees) na makukuha nila. Ikaw ba naman ang mag mementor sayo ay isang SB19 PPOP KINGS ay panalo 💯👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😃☺️ Yehey Congratulations SB19 and 1Z Entertainment Family 🎉

Napaswerte ng magiging talent ng 1Z at SB19 kasi nasa mabubuti silang kamay. And of course because Yani is there, isa talaga siya sa matatag na haligi ng 1Z, from the start Yani is there na talaga sa SB19. Malaki talaga ang part ng SB19 si Yani. Good combination talaga si Yani at SB19.

Ang smart sumagot ni PABLO & YANI. At magaganda din mga tanong. Pero Pablo please tuloy tuloy mo ang SB19 😊 kahit magkaroon pa ng new girl group

I see any SB19 member I click! Grabe they are everywhere and my A'tin heart is satisfied.

Wow! Ang saya. I can see how Pablo is aside from being the artist but as a businessman, mentor, his visions. Thanks Sir Gelo for doing your research, asking very good sets of questions and being professional. Kudos po!

Tama si Pablo. Na realized ko lang as a dreamer na confidence takes time at dun din pumasok na a CREATIVE SPACE is a MUST.

Maganda ang advocacy , vision ng SB19, 1Z entertainment , may mental health wellness , kasi ang karanasan ng SB19 , 3 years training , muntik ng mag give up , tapos nag pandemic , 2 company , wala mentoring on mental health , kumusta na , how to face challenges tapos ng tinayo ang 1Z , trademark na problema , after that they became stronger

Just wanted to echo Yani's statement: "We're doing it for our passion, not to compete." It tells so much about how the company was built. The humility of SB19 is evident because they are also surrounded by passionate and good people. It's not driven by money, but by passion and the desire to impart knowledge sa mga kagaya nilang passionate people when it comes to their craft. Ang saya sumuporta kapah genuine! Praying for strength and wisdom on their new project/goal/journey! 🙏 Grabe no, it's always the same vision since the beginning. Kakamangha talaga.

they build their company from scratch, pero look at them, look at how they speak/talk, very deep and educated. MALAYO ANG MARARATING NG 1Z.

*napakatinding pagmamahal sa industriya meron ang SB19 ano? na sa bawat pag-angat nila, palagi nilang naiisip na dapat kasama ang iba, dapat kasama ang buong industriya. palaging ipinapaalala na hindi sila nandito para lamang sa pagsikat o pagyaman kundi para ibahagi ang kanilang talento, kaalaman at resources para na rin sa ikabubuti ng ibang artists, ibang creatives at ng buong OPM mismo. sana ay maging matagumpay pa lalo kayo SB19 at 1Z.*

Ang mga natutunan ng SB19 sa training , experience , skill, challenges ay gusto nila ituro, ipasa sa iba

Grabe intelligence level of both of them Yani and Pablo, def reaching heights

Iba talaga ang point of view at passion ng isang artist like Pablo,as a leader of sb19 he play the role of big brother na gustong mag shine lahat..sa girl group naman nila excited na siya just like a father.Amazing human being.Goodluck sa 1Z

Galing talino nilang dalawa 🙌good luck 1Z ENTERTAINMENT nandito Lang kami 🥰 good luck din sa mga mapipili ♥️❤️

Tumulo Ang luha ko sa namention ni kuya Yani ni mental health. This is so nice. Sa industry na Yan mental health is core para i-maintain Ang direction with the guidance of God and family. Thank you Pablo 1Z,

Supporting 1Z and SB19 in their vision. Has always been the same. Excited for this new path/journey that they are taking. For PPOP rise, for the Philippines to rise in general. 💙😊🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭

grabe brilliant minds talaga, pablo and kuya yani. Sana like fifth harmony, little mix, yung mga badass powervocals na may grit at gigil. hindi puro pa-cute na kpop lang na kembot lang

"ang timing pasulpot-sulpot Yan kaya dapat prepared ka" ---Pablo

Ang swerte ng girl group na mapipili kasi magiging hands on din ang mga boys to hone their talents.Good luck 1Z 💪💪

Kung sino man sila magiging part ng 1Z you are so fortunate kasi napa ka supportive nila❤❤❤

Wow sobrang na amaze ako kay pablo grabeeh knowledge it becomes business. Sa buong interview sa mulha lang ni pablo ako nakatingin sobra g guapo . Napaka lucky ng mapipiling girl group kase sila na magiging baby ni pau.

Challenge to grow, to think innovation, to be equip , to be ready

The mindset, the substance, the vision, the passion and the collaborative efforts of 1Z and SB19 will establish and achieve greater heights in PPOP community. Kudos to these people! Salute. Excited for 1Z GG,advance congratulations, you got to have this superb support system!

SB19 , each one have contribution to their music , dance , values so when they do solo project , they project their self , their idea, music, dance, visuals

1Z Entertainment and Artists' future are bright. ✨

As a fan of SB19 since 2019, seeing all their achievements now, iyak talaga ako while watching 😭😭

I see your heart, 1Z. ♥️ It's very exciting to see your development and your future groups din. Maybe sa future, you'll only be working in the background, pero I'm still rooting for you, our pinuno and the whole of 1Z. ♥️

Vote SB19 at Kid's Choice Award 2024 as Favorite Asian Act 💕

ang ganda ng vision ng 1Z. I just pray yung mapipiling mga talents wag sayangin ang opportunity na ibibigay sa kanila. Mamumuhunan ang company sa kanila. Sana in exchange iwasan muna ang mga bagay na pwepwedeng makaapekto or makadistract sa papasukin nilang field. Kung ang boys nga isinantabi muna ang lovelife kahit kung tutuusin lalaki sila hindi nabubuntis pero dahil sa passion nila mas pinili muna nila nun kesa unahin ang lovelife. Aminin natin boys will be boys pero sa girls kase once nabuntis kana at medyo nadagdagan ng age medyo magiging limited na ang opportunities na maiooffer sayo. Kaya sana wala sa kanila yung may biglang mabubuntis or mgququit kase mas pinili ang lovelife. Sana lang talaga. More than the passion and talent sana yung mga mapili eh may mas maayos na disposisyon sa buhay. Hindi sa pgiging nega pero I just really want 1Z to grow and nurture the right talents.

I love the statement na sinabi ni yani, "we're doing this out of passion, and not to compete." Nasabi din nila before na mas malaki yung nailalabas nila kesa sa naipapasok na pera, they are really investing their money for their craft, and that is trully a passion, evident naman sa music videos nila. Dito din talaga ako bilib sa SB19, yung eagerness nila na matulungan yung ph music industry. Hindi lang sila basta makapagperform okay na. Very hands-on sila.

SB19 , 1Z staff , will train , coach, mentor new talents

Kainis, naiyak ako sa sinabi ni Pablo about baby nila ang bago nilang ilalabas and they'll give to their babies everything na wala sa #SB19 nung nag uumpisa sila, yung mga nasayang nila. Naalala ko yung mga hirap nila before, lalo na nung nag start palang sila without promotions, nag show lang sa gilid gilid ng Mall pero konti ang nanonood. For sure sa mga babies nio (Girl group) na ipapakilala niyo samin, we will support them too.. So proud of you #SB19 congratulations to your new journey as a mentors and kuyas.

Being an artist , performer , need a heart that is full of passion

1Z is full of passionate and talented people, so we will not be surprised that someday they will be the leading entertainment agency in the country. ✨

So exciting! The new group will be so lucky to have A’Tins behind them!

Wow this is the first time I heared Kuya Yani & Pablo talking in business. I can't wait for the girl group under 1Z💙 nakaka excite!

God bless you SB19 & 1Z entertainment to your new endeavor! ❤

Lumabas sa dulo si Chona. 😂😂😂 Salamat po sa napaka-informative na interview!

Music is language of the heart , touches the heart

Shine bright like diamonds in the sky ✨️ 🙌 God bless sa mga mapipili. You can see how excited Pinuno is, you can see his heart here na ibubuhos niya lahat ng makakaya niya sa mga magiging talents nila... way to go 1Z ❤

Walang Duda that they release a girl group with so much to show

To the new girl group, congrats in advance. You have the best mentors, sufficient resources and best company

1Z MISSION AND VISION, is highlighted in the interview. I really appreciate the audition for Girl Group, by SUBMITTING VIDEO CLIPS ONLINE RATHER than personal with hundred or thousand auditionees under the sun. Honestly it is time consuming and costly sa mga magaudition for transportation, foods etc. Hopefully other network maconsided yung ganitong sistema para nman hindi masyadong madaming tao.

This is what i'm waiting!a girl group created by sb19 & their 1Z company!❤❤

Go go go 1Z, go go go sb19...so proud of you... we'll support you all the way...God bless...

Very well said. I remember and learn from guru's like Sir Joey de leon in making the Starstruck batch 1 - about sustainability. The talent is there, the looks are in place, physique is given. Sustainability is a big challenge in the business - in our society. He said: Character , how to deal with people, your human interaction are the main ingredient to sustain. Many are called but few are chosen. Goal-oriented and being passionate in your / our craft soars us high. And being with a group, a society, a community with great minds, modest, passionate, positive attitude, and eager to share their knowledge - makes a big difference and as an artist or as a person that is contagious in our part to be the best. Kung baga our wit and character is our chief assets. Kudos to SB19 and 1Z entertainment! good luck on your future endeavours. SB19's goal to embrace, accept Ppop by Filipinos and worldwide is now slowly clearing the sky and a light in the end of the tunnel. Ppop.Rise! Thank you Rappler for making this happen.

ang smart tlga ng amo namin. mas lalong nakakahanga ,d nkakasawang manood at makinig sa mga interviews😍😍😍

Thank you for allowing us to listen to your intelligent discussion.

I'm excited for their new "BABIES" ❤

Napakahumble kaya sobrang binibless sila. ❤ Hindi ako nagkamali ng inistan 🤘🏻🫶🏻

Truly astounding. Being young businessmen, I can't help but be amazed by these two. PASSION. They said this word so many times because it is their driving force. As Pablo once said, even if people forget the name SB19, as long as people remember the music, then he would be happy. My hatdog heart is so happy for you, my dear CEO. We will always push for you and your brothers' success. Thanks, Rappler, for this interview!

Eversince pa tlga pag eto c pablo ngsasalita or my interview hindi ku tlga papalagpasin ,yung ang sarap niya panuorin ,pakinggan the way he talked ,ang gaan ng aura niya tlga na iwan ,diku ma explain 😊..basta kahit pa buong araw pa siya jan mgsasalita tlgang pakiknggan ko xia ,i dont wanna missed even single word na sasabihin niya.. ❤alam niyo yung prang may gayuma 😂😂😂

Yani de dios & john Paulo nase combo as CEO & COO are lit & fire.. Intimidating but subtle on biz aura!!!!

Ppop , OPM is flourishing , thriving and interest to listen to Filipino music

It's so nice to hear them consider their future trainees' emotional wellness as part of their training program

Mindset, journey , you must know what you will face , prepare your mind not only talent , be ready to music journey

Gusto ko yung isasama nila ang importance ng mental health sa wellness program ng magiging trainees nila. It is one of the common problems ng mga idol trainees esp. kpop dahil sa pressure na naeexperience nila.

More of this kind of interviews please from kuya Yani and Pablo. Grabe mga minds. Tatalino

This is such a fun and very insightful interview. I'm excited of what's to come for 1Z Entertainment and SB19! More powers to you boys and the whole team.

Philippines is an amazing country!! I'm from Malaysia, but I love your Philippines very much. From the people, the culture, to the food.Everything is great!!❤❤

I like girl group who can also play instruments like guitar, piano ang drums.

Thank you for this interview Rappler! I like the flow of the interview and the questions thrown, very relevant sa topic and agenda. SB19 has been always on top of their game and the standard of PPOP, and to impart those skills and knowledge, sobrang swerte na lang talaga ng magiging baby girl group nila. Yani is a revelation too, very eloquent, sumagot. Pablo naman very consistent from the very start, a visionary.

This interview embodies overall description of SB19! Not just singers but artists with long-term visions for the P-Pop and OPM music industry. Everyone should go on board, hand in hand, so Filipino Music Industry will leave a distinctive mark in the world! Congrats, Sir Yani and CEO Pau! Both of you are well-versed indeed!

nakakaExcite na yung Talents na gusto ni Pablo, ay maging Self-sufficient. Marunong Gumawa ng Sariling Music at magChoreo ng Sariling Dance, hindi tulad ng mga Existing na Girl Groups ngayon na masyadong nakaasa sa Management.

i have high expectation na katulad ng SB19 ang values and virtues ng new gg na ito dahil everyone knows kung paano nagsimula ang mga boys... yung virtue of humility and patience ng mga boys ang dapat tularan.. goodluck sa mga mapili😊

We support our beloved MAHALIMA 100% support para sa girl group 💙
