esseca

Ayn Escalona, professionally known as esseca (stylized in lowercase), is a Filipino singer-songwriter, record producer, composer, and multi-instrumentalist from Rizal, Philippines. Drawing from contemporary pop, R&B, and soul, his music blends cinematic production with deeply personal storytelling, creating songs that explore love, heartbreak, healing, and growth. Originally releasing music independently on SoundCloud in 2018, esseca quickly built a following that led to a recording deal with Viva Records in 2019. After several years of collaborations and releases, he returned to independence and co-founded 314 Studios, where he now leads his music and creative vision without compromise. Beyond his own catalog, esseca has established himself as a songwriter and producer, contributing music for Filipino artists including BINI and Bugoy Drilon, while continuing to shape the sound of a new generation of OPM artists. With standout releases such as “Pananlandian,” “PABORITO ,” “PAHIMAKAS ,” and “Malisya” , esseca continues to evolve as an artist whose music balances emotional honesty with polished, genre-blurring production, crafting records that feel as intimate as they are timeless.
