Biography

What’s the story behind “I belong to the zoo”?

I started performing acoustic solo shows way back in 2002 as myself. Nahirapan ako na ipromote yung sarili ko as Argee Guerrero dahil feeling ko ang yabang ko when I say “listen to MY music, hanapin mo lang Argee Guerrero.” So from then on, I used a monicker instead of my real name. Back then, Fireplace Letters pa yung solo project ko. Then I stopped when I focused on Tonight We Sleep.
 
I Belong to the Zoo came about around 2014. I wrote a couple of songs about feelings that I couldn’t share even to my closest friends. My initial plan was to just release anonymous songs as a form of an outlet for such feelings/events. I made some of my friends listen to it and from there, i got invited to play shows tapos nagtuloy tuloy na.I Belong to the Zoo yung name kasi madami akong insecurities siguro dahil narin sa mga nangaasar sakin. So in a way, parang inuunahan ko na yung mga haters or manglalait sakin na sana pakinggan nalang nila yung music sincerely instead of judging ibttz by how they see me.
