Troy Javelona – WHAT’S A GUY GOTTA DO

British-Filipino artist Troy Javelona returns with one of our favourite songs of the week, called ‘WHAT’S A GUY GOTTA DO’.

The track was recorded between Troy’s bedroom and a professional London studio, giving it a distinctive feel that is somehow both ‘DIY’ and polished. This adds to the raw emotion that the lyrics deliver, of which Troy explains:

“When my girlfriend and I broke up we lived a couple doors down from each other, so some of the lyrics touch upon that. I poured my guts into that song.”

Since last featuring Troy on Alfitude back in 2023, he’s gone on to build a huge global fanbase, amassing more than 30 million career streams and commanding more than 589k monthly listeners on Spotify.

Hailing from the UK is promising Filipino singer, songwriter and producer Troy Javelona.

Inspired by the likes of Tom Misch and Daniel Caesar, Javelona creates a distinct sound that effortlessly fuses stripped-back soul with R&B and pop, resulting in songs that are melodic, emotive and absolutely mesmerising to experience.

To date, Troy has only released three songs on Spotify and already garnered more than 600k streams, with ‘Go Away’ becoming a viral hit across social media. There’s no doubt in our minds that this is one talent destined for big things.
