JunJun Merano and William Rodriguez II were
classmates during college. During that time they were already composing songs.
They tied-up when they discovered each other's talent. JunJun is a talented
guitarist who can create original sound, while William has a lot of lyrics,
where some of it were interpreted by JunJun. But the good thing about them,
they could also sing.
After graduation,
they seperated their
ways, but their love for music was still there. Their passion for creating
original songs never died. They reunited themselves this year 2011 to continue
what they had started.
Their duo's name (Poets Not Dead) speaks about
their undying love for poetry. They both believe that songs are derived from
poems. With tune and melody, it will become a song. The lyrics of Poets Not
Dead resurrected from the paper to share them to the public.
They categorized their music as alternative, or
simply as OPM. However, they are not limiting their music to one style or genre
only. It could be a love song, novelty, etc. This powerful duo is good
combination of a ballader and a rocker.
