Our Mission & Values

Reclaiming Music's Participatory, Spiritual Origins

Origin Music exists in the space between worship and nightlife— creating room for spiritual music to be experienced socially, without doctrine or commercial compromise.

Why We Exist

The Third Place

Music began as something participatory and spiritual. Communities gathered, voices joined, spirits lifted. It wasn't performance—it was connection. It wasn't entertainment—it was transcendence.

Somewhere along the way, we became audiences instead of participants. Consumers instead of creators. Spectators instead of singers.

Spiritual music, in particular, lost its social home. If you want to sing meaningful songs with others, your options are limited: attend a religious service (with all its doctrinal requirements) or go to secular venues where the music rarely touches anything deeper.

"Origin Music is the third place—where spiritual music finds its social home, where participation replaces performance, where all beliefs are welcome but none are required."

We partner with premium venues on their quietest nights, transforming empty Monday spaces into rooms of shared transcendence. You choose a song that means something to you. Live musicians back you up. The community holds space. Something happens that's hard to describe but impossible to forget.

Our Community

We welcome people of all beliefs—and no beliefs. What matters isn't what you believe, but how you hold it. Can you make space for others to have their own experience? Can you participate without needing to convert or convince?

Origin Is For You If

  • You find meaning in music beyond entertainment
  • You're comfortable with spiritual exploration without needing answers
  • You can hold your beliefs lightly enough to make space for others
  • You want to participate, not just watch
  • You respect that others might connect with transcendence differently than you
  • You're curious about spiritual experience outside institutional religion

Origin Isn't For You If

  • You need to convert others to your worldview
  • You can't sit through spiritual music without mocking it
  • You feel compelled to debate the existence of God
  • You think your path is the only valid one
  • You're there to perform, not participate
  • You can't let others have their own experience without commentary

We welcome all beliefs. We don't welcome hostility.

Hostility disguised as skepticism or faith

We're here to experience, not to convince.

Artist Philosophy

Origin Music exists to support artists, not extract from them. We prioritize musicians from underrepresented communities—particularly Filipino diaspora artists—and ensure fair compensation for all who contribute.

01

Fair Pay

Every musician receives fair compensation. No "exposure" as payment. No exploitation of passion.

02

Priority Access

We actively seek artists from marginalized communities, especially Filipino musicians in Hong Kong.

03

Recording Rights

Artists retain rights to their work. Origin provides platform and support, not ownership.
