Amiel Sol turns everyday emotions into melodies, making his music the perfect soundtrack for love, longing, and everything in between.
Love might not have a formula, but Amiel Sol sure knows how to turn it into music. Whether you’re staring out of a bus window pretending you’re in a heart-wrenching movie, slow dancing in your living room, or overthinking a three-word text, chances are he’s already written the perfect song for it.
From the viral success of “Ikaw Lang Patutunguhan” to the chart-topping “Sa Bawat Sandali,” Amiel has mastered the art of capturing emotions in their rawest, most nostalgic form. With every song, he proves that OPM isn’t just about melodies. It carries stories, emotions, and memories, and Amiel has a song for every chapter of life.

Before his songs became the soundtrack to late-night senti sessions, Amiel was surrounded by music in the most organic way—through his parents, who were both choir members. Growing up, he found himself immersed in harmonies long before he knew he’d one day create his own. But even as he carved his place in the music scene, he never expected “Sa Bawat Sandali” to explode the way it did.
Now, here’s where things get cinematic. Just imagine: you’re binge-watching a show, totally invested in the characters, when suddenly, a song plays in the background—and it just hits. That’s exactly what happened when “Sa Bawat Sandali” became the official theme song of Viva One’s Ang Mutya ng Section E (AMNSE). The song fit so well with the story that it felt like a character of its own. And when the music video dropped starring AMNSE leads Ashtine Olviga and Andres Muhlach, it sealed the deal. Currently, the song has amassed over 35.7 million streams on Spotify.
So, when is the best time to listen to “Sa Bawat Sandali”? Probably when you’re reminiscing about that one person who made time feel like it was slipping through your fingers. Or when you’re lying in bed, staring at the ceiling, and feeling everything all at once.
No Expectations, Just Emotions
Amiel never writes with the goal of going viral. Each song starts from something real—an emotion, a fleeting thought, or even a phrase he overhears in passing. He has a habit of taking note of interesting lines, letting them marinate, and then building an entire song around them. Maybe that’s why his music feels so natural. It’s rooted in words that people have actually said, in feelings that people have actually felt.
So, when his songs started topping charts and racking up millions of streams, he was just as surprised as everyone else. He never saw it coming because, for him, music isn’t about chasing numbers. It’s about capturing the feeling of that one moment you can’t seem to forget.
Beyond Love Songs and Viral Hits
While Amiel’s songs often revolve around love, he’s drawn to music that feels, no matter the theme. He looks up to artists like Ebe Dancel, not just for his songwriting but for the way he carries himself as a person. And if he could collaborate with anyone in the future, Earl Agustin and Janine Teñoso are at the top of his list.
And even though he holds a degree in Mathematics, he firmly believes there’s no formula for love. Unlike numbers, love is subjective—unpredictable, messy, and entirely unique to each person. It’s the same way with music; there’s no perfect equation, just raw emotions waiting to be turned into songs.
If you’re feeling hopelessly in love and want a song to capture that exact feeling, Amiel’s got you. If you’re completely burned out and need a soundtrack for that emotional exhaustion, he also has you. Because his current go-to song is Sugarfree’s “Burnout”, and really, same.
Meanwhile, the music video for “Sa Bawat Sandali” has garnered over 5.7 million views as of writing.
