I was just a dancer/choreographer for almost 20 years aside from being an ECE. I don’t have any musical background. I don’t even know how to play the guitar. But with pure determination and prayers, I was able to write 42 songs last year on my first year as a songwriter. I also learned how to play an acoustic guitar, bass guitar, electric guitar, ukulele, piano and keyboard. So far, only 26 songs were recorded in Kalye Musika (Cebu) because I’m working in Singapore. If I can do it, there’s no reason you can’t do it.
I want to promote Bisaya songs as well as Cebu English songs. I am very proud being a Cebuano however, we must not limit ourselves to Bisaya songs. I believe that Cebu music should be listened, understood and loved by all. Me, Franco and Ashley Go will push for Cebu English music. We have so many good musicians and singers in Cebu but only few are writing songs. My role is to give an opportunity to all great Cebuano artists to have their own original song. It’s different when you have your own music than just covering songs. There’s so much pride and satisfaction if you see your name in iTunes, Spotify, Amazon music, Deezer, Google Play, Napster, emusic, etc.. Especially if you see other people singing or listening on your own original music. Now, I have 27 great singers in my group of artists. 17 of them already recorded some of my songs, another 10 will be recording this year. As long as you have the right voice and the right attitude to record an original song, I will help you. 'Sorry if naay nabalibaran' (sorry if there were some who got rejected) make it as a challenge for yourself to be a better singer. You are a good singer, it’s just not the right time to record. Someday you might be a part of our group. Practice and continue to pray. I believe that we have so many good songwriters in the future. One good example is Ashley Go. At a young age, she’s very good already Just imagine how good she will be after 5 years? The SECRET is ….. pure determination and a strong faith in God. If you are determined, you will make a lot of efforts to improve. And if you have a strong faith in God, you always aim to be a better person…. to be a good example in your community. And God will bless you more. Amen!"
