Some people hope that The Ridleys would become more popular. I appreciate the sentiment and the love!!! But all I want to do is to inspire people by writing excellent songs and having meaningful conversations with them. At this level of “fame,” I’m able to do this peacefully.

Hellow! Before requesting (note: requesting) anything from @TheRidleysMusic , please remember that we’re a small team of 5 people. Though we get to partner with amazing groups (e.g. minsan studio, SYQL, Underdog Music, etc.), we have no major label backing us. (1/5)

[The Ridleys @TheRidleysMusic]

Funnily enough, I remember being filled with so much anxiety and frustration during this recording time, and in the year it released — not necessarily because of the album, but because of our journey as a band and my (Benny) personal struggles.

[bennyendajets @bennymanaligod]

KALA NIYO MADALI MAGMAHAL!? HINDI. This is not a rant about my lovely marriage, but about ALL THESE AND MORE. “The Ridleys make love feel so easy.” IT’S NOT. IT REQUIRES SACRIFICE. LET’S ALL GROW UP AND GROW OUT OF THIS IDEALISM!!! LISTEN TO THE WHOLE ALBUM, AND THE ALBUMS B4 IT
