Synopsis
Hi! My name is [Redacted], but most people just call me Focaccia Bread — or Foca. I’m writing this mostly for fun, but also to share my stories, my questionable life choices, and the music that somehow came out of them. Come along for the ride as I recount how I accidentally built a successful entertainment company and somehow helped create actual music legends. Fair warning: I do not tell stories in order. My brain jumps timelines like a fever dream, so expect chaos, time skips, and zero apologies. I’m weird. I’m quirky. I embrace it with both arms and half a bagel. I know — I’m cringe. But at least I’m free. XD If you wanna listen to the Jams (Music) appearing here, you can go listen to them in YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/@FocacciaBread-Music) or Spotify (https://open.spotify.com/artist/0ecDiwv85yqoktTR4h569L?si=CHJzNohaTwiTgukcKickMQ) and other streaming platforms.

Chapter 1 - A Short and Brief Introduction

Once again — hi!

My name is redacted, but outside my family everyone and their mother knows me as Focaccia Bread. Or just Foca. Like the carb.

Why hide my real name?

Simple: I'm a nepo baby. Not the cute kind — the ultra-elite old-money kind that gets whispered about in boardrooms and private schools. And honestly? I don't want people to meet me and immediately think, 'Oh, that's the rich kid.'

I wanna be known for my work, not my wallet.

People judge fast these days

Don't get it twisted though — I love being a nepo baby. I adore my family's money. I sleep like a damn angel knowing I'll never have to worry about rent. But I also know where to draw the line. I don't want my art to be seen as a 'family investment project.' I want it to stand on its own two legs like a big boy.

— Anyway, family stuff.

I've got two amazing parents and three older siblings who all have families of their own — meaning yes, I have nieces and nephews, and yes, I spoil them shamelessly.

My family babies me to hell and back — it's adorable until it's not. But at the end of the day? They ride for me. When I said I wanted to build my own entertainment company out of nowhere, they immediately went,

'Sweetie, say less. We'll invest.'

I agreed — on one condition: they get zero say inside the company. Love you mom and dad, but this is my baby. My ego project. My art. My problem.

Corporate life? Absolutely not in my DNA. That gene mutated and died before I was born. Thank God the rest of them picked it up instead.

You'll meet them eventually… assuming you keep reading. (Please keep reading...)

— About me:

Age: 25

Birthday: June 26

Ethnicity: Half-Filipino, Half-French — a combination that produces beauty, stubbornness, and multilingual swearing.

Blood type: Rh-null. Extremely rare. Half the medical community wants to study me; the other half wants to wrap me in bubble wrap.

Education: BFA Dance at Juilliard at 18. Master of Music right after. I basically lived in studios for six years and didn't touch sunlight unless required.

Favourite food: Focaccia. I'm loyal to the brand.

Instruments: Violin, viola, cello, piano, guitar, flute, lute, harp, kalimba, kulintang, koto, shamisen, guzheng… I collect instruments like other rich kids collect supercars.

Dance styles: Contemporary, Jazz, Hip-hop, Ballroom, Ballet.

Fun fact: Competed at Blackpool at 20. Didn't win, but looked immaculate doing it.

— Company Time.

I've wanted to work in the arts since I was a kid, but what finally pushed me over the edge — what ignited the unhinged, sleep-deprived passion of a young man on the brink — was an absolutely valid crash-out over a certain idol survival show.

I got so mad I made multiple life-altering decisions in one night.

Thus, Bread Music was born.

Yes, the bread theme continues.

Yes, I'm committed to the bit.

Judge me if you must — but do it from a respectable distance.
