Yanan & Siegfried

Genre-Defying Musicality, Poetry in Motion

Hailing from Cagayan de Oro, Philippines, Yanan Melo is an artist who seeks to bridge the gap between theological mysticism and artistic curiosity. Compelled by the tragic tale of Siegfried, a Germanic hero, Yanan created the music project Yanan & Siegfried as a meditation on spiritual decay and eucharistic descent.

Yanan crafts a unique, genre-defying neoclassical sound with a diversity of inspirations, ranging from post-rock to hip-hop and house music. With his music, the Filipino composer divulges the experience of doubt and restlessness as a means of grace — a painful, yet growing journey to touch the fingertips of the divine.
