But the journey didn't end there: Alejo would soon be in charge of publications she would start with various other partners, then work for a major broadsheet, work for the Araneta Group of companies and now, with a chain of hotels, and writes every now and then on the side. The one constant: music, whether it be writing or initiating campaigns or projects that would both involve and help support local music. #BehindTheStagePH host Joey D. (who has worked with Alejo throughout the years...) enjoys and asks for more interesting stories of Alejo's decades-spanning mission to champion local music.
