tender. is a DJ whose sets blend the soulful pulse of house music with the nostalgic charm of 80s/90s R&B and pop, the smooth stylings of yacht rock, and the rich emotional textures of Original Pilipino Music (OPM). With an ear for deep cuts and crowd-pleasers alike, tender. builds sonic experiences that feel both familiar and fresh—rooted in groove, emotion, and cultural connection. Whether behind the decks at a lounge, a late-night party, or a sun-soaked day event, tender. brings a thoughtful approach to track selection and flow, creating moments that invite people in and keep them moving. Known for setting an intentional mood without ever missing a beat, tender. delivers sets that are smooth, soulful, and unmistakably their own.
