Six years later, Keiko seized another opportunity to participate in ELEMENTS CAMP 2018, eager to embark on a new journey and glean insights from esteemed international Grammy Award-winning producers, as well as revered and award-winning Filipino counterparts. Notably, this edition of the camp was sponsored by Globe Telecom, underscoring its significance as a platform to showcase the abundant musical talent inherent in the Filipino populace.
