📝 Poppet Celdrán — Official Spotify Bio · Ready to Paste
Poppet Celdrán is a Filipino storyteller, entrepreneur, and the voice behind Longing Celebrations — a 12-track debut album born from 30 years of living, building, and dreaming across Southeast Asia.

Growing up Filipino and building businesses from Ho Chi Minh City to Manila, Poppet knows what it means to miss home while celebrating everything it made you. Longing Celebrations is that contradiction made musical — five songs about the ache of distance, seven songs about the joy of who we are.

The carrying single, Kahit Saan, SariKo, is a love letter to the sari-sari store — the original Filipino community hub, the first place that ever felt like home. Featuring vocalist Khitz Alcala from Saigon, it is OPM for the diaspora: warm, uplifting, and unmistakably atin.

Sari-sari ko 'to.
