FELIP: A Multi-Hyphenate Visionary of Sound, Style, and Self-Expression

FELIP (Felip Jhon Suson) is more than an artist—he is a force that seamlessly weaves music, fashion, movement, and visual storytelling into a singular, unapologetically raw expression of self. Best known as the bold, enigmatic Ken of SB19, FELIP’s solo journey has established him as one of the most genre-defying, fashion-forward, and artistically hands-on figures in the P-pop scene today.

FELIP as a Fashion Enthusiast and Designer

Fashion is FELIP’s personal language—one he’s been fluent in since childhood. Even before the spotlight, he was styling himself, customizing clothes, experimenting with silhouettes, and stitching his own looks by hand. Today, that DIY spirit lives on in his brand SuperiorSon, a clothing line he designs, models, and visually directs himself. He doesn’t just wear fashion—he sketches it, constructs it, and performs it.

His personal aesthetic leans toward the anime-meets-streetwear spectrum—often drawing comparisons to stylized anime characters with evolving hair colors and futuristic silhouettes. His signature look includes a preference for black, his favorite color, as well as heavy layering, deconstructed tailoring, and genderless styling. FELIP’s hairstyles have also become a visual trademark, shifting with each creative era—from platinum blond and mullet cuts to crimson reds and sleek jet black.

A dedicated fan of Vetements, Balenciaga, Rick Owens, and Chrome Hearts, FELIP’s love for fashion extends into accessories, often donning bold rings, layered chains, and one-of-a-kind pieces that he either handpicks or makes himself. His artistry is present even in the tiniest fashion detail—whether it’s a scarf worn as a twilly, or a custom hat stitched to perfection.

Beyond the personal, FELIP also styles for the stage. He has taken charge of styling his looks in various SB19 performances and notably served as visual and fashion lead for his music videos with PLAYERTWO, including “Pagdali” and “FLYYY.” His fashion choices aren’t just outfits—they are extensions of his stories.

FELIP as a Musician, Composer, and Producer

Coming from a family of musically inclined Christians, FELIP grew up surrounded by worship songs, instruments, and soulful harmonies. Music was a constant presence in their home—whether through Sunday worship or jam sessions with relatives. He learned to sing early and was exposed to instruments through his uncle, who once told him that music is meant to be felt, not just sung. This emotional connection to music shaped his creative spirit and built the foundation for the multi-layered artist he would become.

Today, when FELIP creates music, he doesn’t stop at writing lyrics or delivering vocals—he builds from the ground up. A true musician’s musician, he composes, produces, writes, arranges, and mixes his own tracks. His sound is unconfined—blurring the lines between hip-hop, rock, R&B, metal, punk, trap, and Cebuano lyricism—earning him the title of a genre-bending multi-hyphenate.

His first solo EP, COMPLEX, and debut album, 7sins, are testaments to his relentless work ethic. These projects were born from sleepless nights, emotional toil, and uncompromising creative vision. Despite the exhaustion behind the scenes, FELIP remains proud of what he’s built—his pain and passion captured in every beat.

Tracks like “Palayo,” “Kanako,” “Fake Faces,” and “Straydogs” offer sonic experiences that challenge norms and redefine what it means to be a Filipino solo act. His ability to inject visual themes into his sound—like mythology in “Bulan” or emotional duality in “7sins”—reflects his instinct to treat each release like an immersive world.

His first major solo concert at Space, One Ayala marked a full-circle moment for 7sins, followed by his historic first solo international concert in Japan—making him the first solo P-pop artist to headline overseas. He’s also brought his music to stages like We Play Here, band-backed Superior Sessions Live, and countless other venues where his raw intensity as a performer electrifies audiences.

FELIP as a Performer

Whether as FELIP or as Ken of SB19, he commands the stage with a powerful blend of grace, strength, and emotion. As SB19’s main dancer and one of its strongest vocalists, he brings technical precision, layered storytelling, and physicality to every live performance. His ability to shift personas—cool and composed one moment, wild and unchained the next—cements his status as one of the most compelling performers in P-pop.

FELIP’s Athletic Side

What makes FELIP even more impressive is his athletic background. A former varsity sepak takraw player, he brings an athlete’s discipline, agility, and sharp physical control into his performance style. His movement is not just choreographed—it’s powered by years of competitive sports training.

Today, that athletic spirit lives on in his lifestyle and style choices. He incorporates Nike gear into both his active routines and his streetwear fits, often spotted playing basketball or engaging in high-energy physical activities. Whether on stage or on the court, FELIP moves with power, precision, and purpose.

FELIP as a Visual Artist

Beyond music and fashion, FELIP is also a visual creator. With a strong background in drawing and design, he takes an artist’s approach to every aspect of his work—whether it’s sketching out concepts for his clothing line, illustrating stage visuals, or collaborating on the set design of his music videos. His notebooks are filled with scribbles and sketches that often manifest as full-blown visual campaigns.

His artistry is not bound by one medium—his visuals speak just as loudly as his music, and the two are always in dialogue.

FELIP as a Brand Collaborator

As his solo career continues to rise, so does his appeal as a brand ambassador. In 2024, FELIP joined forces with PUBG Mobile Philippines, voicing game prompts and curating in-game missions for his fanbase. In 2025, he became the face (and voice) of Closeup’s interactive music video campaign Moving Closer, where he starred in dual versions of the song—From the Café and From the Lounge—alongside DonBelle (Donny and Belle) and Barda (Barbie and David).

These partnerships reflect FELIP’s expanding influence—not just as a singer or performer, but as a cultural figure who bridges industries.

More Than an Artist

FELIP doesn’t just create music or fashion—he builds experiences. Every lyric, look, and live moment is crafted with thought, intention, and a deep sense of personal identity. He is part rebel, part visionary—forever pushing forward, forever grounded in his roots.

From underground gigs to arena stages, anime-inspired fits to high-fashion pieces, beat-making to brand-building—FELIP is rewriting what it means to be an artist in this generation.
