Bio
TJ Monterde (born Titus John Dabuan Monterde on December 30, 1989, in Cagayan de Oro, Philippines) is a Filipino singer-songwriter known for his heartfelt acoustic-pop ballads and contributions to Original Pilipino Music (OPM). A graduate of Development Communication from Xavier University – Ateneo de Cagayan, he first worked as a radio jockey and regional TV host before pursuing music. Monterde began uploading covers and original compositions on YouTube, where he gained an online following that eventually led to his breakthrough hit “Ikaw at Ako” and a recording deal with Polyeast Records. Over the years, he released beloved tracks such as Dating Tayo, Tulad Mo, Kahit Kunwari, Mahika, and Palagi, which solidified his reputation as one of the Philippines’ most popular singer-songwriters. In 2024, he released the album Sariling Mundo, and in February 2025, he became the first solo Filipino male artist to sell out three consecutive shows at the Smart Araneta Coliseum with his historic Sarili Nating Mundo concert series, later bringing his performances to international stages in Dubai, Singapore, and Taiwan. Known for his warm vocals and simple yet evocative songwriting, Monterde’s music resonates deeply with audiences seeking sincerity and emotional storytelling. He is married to fellow singer KZ Tandingan, with whom he has also collaborated musically, making them one of the most admired OPM power couples
