Real name: Emy Munji

According to Pinoy Grooves:
“In the ’70s Emy Munji played the piano for several albums as Ian Hero. It was a time when original Filipino music and artists were just beginning to win acceptance among the colonial-minded masses but there was still no way for a record company to market a Filipino pianist performing foreign top 40 material. So the then management of Vicor Music Corporation decided to create this guy “Ian Hero” who shall be faceless and identity-less but because of his skill on the ivories and the all-hit line-up of cuts, he will surely sell a lot of albums. And Ian Hero did sell a lot of records and about four of them were arranged and performed by Emy Munji. ”
