Cayabyab exuded authority in career he chose; OPM reshaped amid globalization

The Ramon Magsaysay Award Foundation recognized his unparalleled contributions as a composer, director, and performer that largely defined contemporary Philippine music.

While best known for mellow ballads—“Kailan,” “Tuwing Umuulan At Kapiling Ka,” “Can This Be Love,”—the maestro also wrote probing, critical songs like “Freedom” and “Paraiso”. But he later established his own school in 1986, the Music School of Ryan Cayabyab, built for hobbyists and professionals who want to still hone their skills for musical art, despite having lack of funds.

“There are many people who do not want to go to college, they do not want to pursue Bachelor’s degree or Certificate degree in performance or music but they love music. There are also a lot of professionals who do not have a music degree that’s why we provide additional training for them especially those who are not literate to music,” he said.“So, when people say you’re spilling too many secrets to them they might get better than you.

“But the influence of music in me is very strong. Even as a kid, we had 10 borders in the house, all of them are music students, so everybody was playing, singing. Maybe it really runs in my blood,” he added. “One afternoon, Doy Laurel invited me to his office and asked me why I was taking up accounting. Then he started telling me that I do not see why you are not studying music, we see your talent as a musician and you should give to your community. You have to be an authority, you have to be the best,” he said.“So I went home that night and I tell my dad, the Laurels are giving me a scholarship in music, this is 12 in the evening, and then he said, how old are you now? I’m 18.
