MQuest Music partners with OPM hitmaker Vehnee Saturno

MANILA, Philippines — After venturing into filmmaking, TV production and artist management, MQuest Ventures has expanded into the music scene through a partnership with one of OPM’s most prolific hitmakers, Vehnee Saturno.

On Aug. 8, MQuest Ventures — through its music publishing and label arm, MQuest Music — sealed a joint venture agreement with Vehnee Saturno Music Corp. in a contract signing event held at the Meralco Auditorium in Ortigas.

The partnership marks another milestone for MQuest Ventures in the Philippine entertainment industry. While specific details of the deal have yet to be disclosed, it is expected to lead to the production of original music, including soundtracks for MQuest’s upcoming films, as well as the discovery and development of new singing talents.

Vehnee remains one of the Philippines’ most influential composers and producers, with a catalog of hits that have shaped the sound of modern OPM. His songwriting and producing expertise has launched, if not elevated the careers of some of the country’s biggest names in music, including Martin Nievera, Sarah Geronimo, Jessa Zaragoza and Jaya, among others.
