00:00The happiness that I feel inside when I'm performing
00:03and when I'm looking at the audience, at their eyes,
00:08it makes me feel loved.
00:12My first singing career started when I was seven years old.
00:19I started competing,
00:22Popstar Kids, and then I got into Tawag ng Tanghalan.
00:25And when I met my band,
00:29my growth started there.
00:31My mom, when she discovered that I can sing.
00:35And in that moment, I started to listen to Celine Dion,
00:40Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, and Regine Velasquez.
00:46But mostly when I was a teenager,
00:52maybe 14, 15, or 13 years old,
00:54I started listening to Hayley Williams.
00:57I started listening to Avril Lavigne songs.
00:59To Alanis Morissette songs,
01:01because I really, really love alternative.
01:03I love how they sing.
01:06It's full of truth.
01:11That's what I wanted with my music.
01:14Actually, it's so overwhelming to see the people again.
01:18And the happiness that I feel inside when I'm performing
01:23and when I'm looking at the audience, at their eyes,
01:29it makes me feel loved.
01:32And I can see the life.
01:33It's uncomparable through online,
01:35just performing online because I can see your faces.
01:39I want to see your passion through music.
01:41I want to see your soul.
01:43It's like when I'm singing in live,
01:46when I look at the people,
01:50it's like I'm going through their minds.
01:52It's like I'm telling them my story
01:55and them telling theirs.
01:58Music is my passion,
02:00but I will take every opportunities,
02:04like acting, dancing, hosting.
02:06I love acting also,
02:08because when I started acting,
02:13I really felt that it's really different from singing.
02:17It's more on putting your emotions on that character.
02:23It's becoming that character.
02:25Five years ago, I was really, really depressed.
02:28I don't think of pursuing my career anymore.
02:30I was rejected by auditions,
02:34and I'm too lazy.
02:38Five years ago, I'm too lazy to pursue my own career.
02:41I don't know where I'm going.
02:43I don't know what kind of music that I want.
02:46My mom's sick, stage four breast cancer,
02:50and I don't know what to do.
02:53But when the band came over,
02:59they told me, never give up,
03:03because this is your dream, this is your passion.
03:05You don't have to let that emotions pull you down,
03:14and trust him.
03:16You have to trust him, and I did.
03:19Actually, my inspiration is my band,
03:22really.
03:24They're my inspiration,
03:26and then I got to know my new management.
03:30They made my life bloom.
03:36All of the people that I know now,
03:40they are really, really good to me,
03:43and they made all of this possible.
03:46It's all about how you surround yourself
03:49to people that will give you your growth.
03:52And teach you in life.
