Filipino rising artist MURI is set to take the stage at the 2025 South by Southwest (SXSW) Music Festival in Austin, Texas, from March 10-15, 2025.

The AXEAN Festival alumna joins an impressive roster of international talents, showcasing her unique blend of soul, indie, and jazz-pop music to a global audience.

“I feel incredibly honored to have been chosen and to be representing the Philippines on such an international stage,” MURI shares in an official statement. “I’m excited because SXSW is one of the biggest festivals for artists to showcase in, and it’ll be my first time going. Aside from playing, I’m also pretty excited to be there as an attendee, watch other artists perform, and attend all the cool talks and presentations.”

As she prepares for this significant milestone, MURI hints at even bigger plans for her music in 2025, including collaborations, new music releases, and performances all around the world. “I’m working on a few collaborations and new music this year. I’m planning to do more shows and perform in more stages around the Philippines and Europe.”

As the resident violinist of Filipino indie-folk band The Ransom Collective, MURI has recently stepped into the spotlight as a solo artist with the release of her debut EP, 11ème. The project, which deals with themes of personal growth, loss, and discovery, takes listeners on a journey through the artist’s experiences across different cultures and cities. Blending soulful pop with intricate storytelling, 11ème serves as a deeply personal reflection of MURI’s travels and relationships. 

With her upcoming appearance at SXSW 2025, Muri is poised to introduce her music to a broader international audience, marking the beginning of what promises to be an exciting year of artistic growth.
