Since his album went #1 on iTunes, Elmo was asked about piracy and he said he wants people to start buying physical CDs again, he believes that "piracy is something we can control".
He spends time enjoying the music of Zayn, Drake, The Strokes, Passion Pit, The Beatles and of course, his legendary dad.
When asked about his father, the rising pop singer said his dad, Mr. Francis Magalona, would like what he's doing — which is not being enclosed in a box in terms of craft. He is taking the path he chose himself, just like what Francis M. did in his days. He would like to cover the songs "Cold Summer Nights", "Three Stars and A Sun" and "Mga Kababayan Ko" by his father. Elmo also revealed that his dad has unreleased materials he wants to cover and that Mr. Francis M. has recorded about 15 unreleased songs.
"ELMO" features dance tracks, love songs and song covers. When asked about performances, Elmo Magalona wants to do shows with a concept no one has ever thought of.
With a chart topping pop album, song and a music video, Elmo Magalona cannot be stopped as he delves into the music scene with his pop music — in his own path.
