Now 25, how was it living under the shadow of his more popular parents? "I wasn't just their son, I was their number one fan. They started my love for music and they inspired me to do what they do. Although we're into different music styles, I learned so much from them. My goal now is to be a Filipino artist with a different sound that's why I came up with all original songs, no covers."
His songs are bluesy type of rock, exploring the moods of Bon Iver and Dave Matthews Band, with his guitar dexterity reminiscent of John Mayer and the late Jimi Hendrix. The title of his album "Overwait" is a play on his being overweight before. How did he lose weight? "Diet, gym work, and I run a lot. The title 'Overwait' also refers to my waiting so long before the album finally got launched. I've been planning it since I was 15. But it's really worth the long wait."
The carrier single is the waltzy "In 3's", now available for downloads at mymusicstore.com. "All the ten songs in my album tell a story," he adds. "And they all sound differently from each other." The other cuts in his album are "Sexy Strut", "Lost", "Smile", "Delight", "Beautiful", "Sing Along", "Sound Tripping", "Blindsided" and "Untitled".
