The digital era has reshaped how artists break through, with platforms now acting as global stages for emerging talent. Among these is MyTalent — a fast-growing hub where musicians and creators showcase their work, connect with audiences, and compete for industry recognition.
One of the standout acts rising through the platform is Disc Error, a high-energy band from Zamboanga City. With a rapidly growing online presence—now surpassing 20,000 followers—the group is turning heads with their raw sound and relentless drive. As they continue their run in the MyTalent competition, Disc Error is proving they are more than just another internet discovery.
We spoke with the band about their beginnings, their evolving sound, and what lies ahead.
On Their Origins
Take us back to the beginning—how did Disc Error come together?
Disc Error traces its roots to Zamboanga City, where the band was formed in 2024 by a group of high school friends who eventually came together under one name. Drawing heavy inspiration from Slapshock, they channel a distinctly Filipino metal energy—loud, passionate, and deeply connected to their identity.
Defining the Sound
How would you define your sound today?
The band describes their music as something that goes beyond traditional metal boundaries. “We don’t just play for the headbangers,” they explain. “We play to get the whole crowd moving.”
Discovering the Platform
How did you first come across MyTalent?
The group recalls discovering MyTalent through a video featuring Lean Ansing, which immediately sparked their interest and led them to explore the platform further.
The Importance of Exposure
In your view, how vital are platforms like MyTalent for emerging artists today?
For Disc Error, the answer is clear. Platforms like MyTalent are not just optional—they are essential. In today’s saturated digital landscape, they see it as a critical tool for visibility, growth, and survival as an independent act.
Looking Ahead
What are your priorities for the next year?
The band is focused on refining its identity. While their sound is rooted in the influence of Slapshock, Disc Error is determined to carve out a voice that is entirely their own. Over the next year, they plan to focus on writing, recording, and collaborating, with the goal of delivering a strong and lasting first official release.
What’s Coming Next
What should fans be watching for?
Fans can expect new music, high-energy live performances, and digital releases through MyTalent. The band also emphasizes their commitment to bringing back a raw, nu-metal-driven energy to the scene.
Dream Collaborations
If you could collaborate with any artist, who would it be?
Disc Error points to Setsuna and Lean Ansing of Slapshock as their dream collaborators—artists who played a major role in shaping their musical direction.
Defining Moments
What has been the defining moment of your journey so far?
For the band, it was the realization that they wanted to represent the music scene from the southernmost part of the country. Embracing their roots in Zamboanga City while aiming for a national platform gave them a clear purpose: to prove that a powerful, passionate sound can come from anywhere.
Building a Platform for Discovery
Supporting this movement is Stine Bendiksen of The Cocktail Slippers, who now serves as Chief Artist & Industry Relations Officer at MyTalent.
Bendiksen emphasizes the importance of community within the industry:
“This is what we all need: a community that works together within the music business. Every branch of the industry can benefit from building a platform like this. As a musician and booker, I know how difficult it is to find venues, connect with local scenes, and secure fair opportunities. We need a common space to support each other.”
She adds that the platform was built with a clear mission:
“We created this so bands who deserve to be seen can get discovered, while also building a community where the industry supports one another in a space that has traditionally been difficult to access.”
