Ashtine Olviga has been in an exciting chapter of her career lately. Aside from her acting endeavors, the Gen Z actress has also been diving into her work as a musician. Last April, she made her debut as a solo artist with the release of her first original single, Love Like U, which has racked up an impressive 1 million streams on Spotify and 1.1 million views on YouTube.

Ashtine Olviga Nurses a Broken Heart With Her Longing Single
If Love Like U is a fun pop love song, Nasaan Ka Na? is the complete opposite in story and sound. The band-driven ballad, sung in Tagalog, centers on someone trying to move on from a failed relationship. Lyrically, it speaks to the universal experience of feeling broken when things go wrong after thinking that it was a promising relationship. But it also leaves listeners with a sense of hope that the process of finding healing, peace, and letting go to become a better person is possible.
Adding to the heartfelt track is the fact that it is Olviga’s first-ever written single. Unlike her previous song Love Like U, Olviga co-wrote the track with Thyro Alfaro, who also served as the producer, giving the ballad a more personal touch and marking the first time she helped pen the lyrics to one of her original releases. As Olviga continues to hone her musical skills, we get to see more of who she is as an artist and musician.
Sonically, the track serves as a great showcase for her vocal abilities as her voice and raw emotion lead the way in telling its story through tender lines, belts, and runs. The production plays into the track’s heartbreak, yet hopeful themes that aim straight for the heart, making it sound like a classic, Pinoy-coded breakup anthem that moves you to feel every line.
The release of the new single makes for yet another exciting addition to Olviga’s growing music career, and it won’t be long until her next endeavor. With two original songs already under her belt, she’s set to embark on her biggest musical milestone yet with her first-ever solo concert titled Love Like Ashtine, set to be held on August 22 at the New Frontier Theater.
While Olviga is no stranger to performing on stage, it will be exciting to see how she does it in her own show that is both a celebration of her years of hard work in the industry and a manifestation of the artist that she is becoming. She will most likely be performing her original tracks, maybe doing a few covers, and potentially teasing unreleased new music. Ashtine Olviga’s musician era is here, and it continues to impress.
