was to sort of um you know cuz R&B singing lessons is my channel and I want to get down to like what artists how artists become the artists they are oh so it's like I just kind of want to give you a vibe of what I was thinking of doing because I didn't really detail to you what we're gonna do exactly yeah I've always been really interested as someone who was like a beginner singer many years ago and what one makes an artist an artist and you know when you look at an artist you just think wow they're amazing but you never think of you know what what made that person the way they are you know did they read like they did have a mentor did they read things the day where they naturally gifted or were they born into encouraging family or all this kind of things so I guess I wanted to ask you questions about you and that's cool yeah and like do some vocal stuff as well mucking around with yeah you know yeah all right so what one of the things it's not even a vocal question okay because I saw your Instagram yesterday looking at amazing with the ABS and everything how do you keep in amazing shape happy birthday by the way 38 right are we recording already yeah it's been recording from bad worries and everything no no I can kind of play with it whatever not it's fine if you if you're not comfortable with anything I can walk around oh whatever but uh-huh that's funny you know that's actually old picture that I posted yeah how old it's like a year and a half ago photo shoot but um you know a lot of it dude it's in that picture I'm telling you a lot of it it's like Photoshop and and lighting but you know you gotta keep your fitness on of course yeah and luckily for me I'm blessed with them my mother and father's genes and they're both very skinny it's very hard for them to gain weight like you know us as a family we can eat so much but never gained any weight Wow to like your you muscles is a good build so do you do you work out for your your shape yeah I try to um I try to work out I was pointed over here at the banner here so I have like a little dance studio here to where I put like a bench and I try to go in there and just do some curls you know some some bench presses everyday I've been trying to go in I've been doing it for like a month now or something maybe yeah but before you know you see I used to stay fit you know I used to be like a little bench body model you know yeah because in the when you're sorry modeling say that again I used to do underwear modeling for bands away money when I was younger yeah and like in my twenties oh it's the Brandy's bench yeah yeah okay I'll throw you my bench like bench press B okay yeah so back then you know I used to work out a lot and just recently I just started getting back back into it again because the bucket ba-ba-ba-ba video live on wish bus you look so tank there is that we're talking about thanks no actually before that this is my regular building I said it's the genes like I wasn't even working out that much around that time you know now I'm a little bit more I got a little more meeting me now compared to that Joe actually yeah yeah that's awesome so I love what you said there cuz you got it as part it's like it's it's in your lifestyle you got it in the room like where I know where you spend time and so like it's part of your it's important enough that's right there you know for sure you know everything important enough is is here within my reach just like like I was on but it's in the dance studio right so like a bench press I'm like doing like a little dance just check-in my moves see if it's still fresh yeah yeah yeah they were fresh in the concert in Sydney that was so good so I'm I was actually thinking to ask you about dancing too because I'm I'm a salsa dancer I've been doing salsa dance for like yeah I just do salsa dance shows like where you do the Samba drums and the girls with dance and a couple dancing and you do the tricks and I used to do it on like um on boats like for like a couple of hours and nice to host the show like make the jokes get the people up to dance that kind of thing it's like maybe five years old or something but then I transitioned into like doing more music stuff I'm sure all your subscribers would want to see that I have bits and pieces of me doing so so much I know already yeah so you can me watching myself do salsa classic yeah yeah it's so fun it's it's a very social thing to me my partner go Asami my girlfriend met we go every week every Wednesday night there's like a big social event yeah yeah live salsa music is amazing it's not always live but when it's live it's it's a bonus - yeah yeah for sure my sister actually back in the day when I used to do I used to sing in a group with my sister and my uncle's called the howlers we used to do lime some sauces stuff too you know because we used to be like this ballroom ballroom dancing kind of a band you know we do like the top 40s and stuff like this and you know there would be these these big Filipino crowds that would come in and just start like ballroom dancing doing a swing starts Ossining start saying you know ho man you should do all that kind of stuff we sing like Mambo number 5 and stuff like yeah what'd you sing back in the day man I used to sing back at one a lot and bailamos by Lamaze and a lot of these send me songs like let's groove tonight and it's kind of a senate kind of the stuff that I did and um in Sydney I hated like a little like a seventies medley of like Earth Wind and Fire and yeah you should do all that stuff for my Uncle Bob and my my sister Jing it was fun times man it was pretty much my training ground yeah how old were you when I started it was too young because I wasn't even old enough to get in the club right I was like 70 yeah so easy just like dress me up like really old make me look older but like a shirt on me you know like this orange dress shirt with some slacks it's not sneaky yeah man so you know I'm a little bit taller so we were just we were just doing that I was just singing in you know they weren't saying anything so okay as long as they're not saying anything I'm gonna I'm gonna make my money I'm gonna grind up in here and sing you know cuz this is my Mahina boy I like I look this is how I make a living Hannah boo hi-yah Hannah boy sorry that's interesting Wow I love it so did they encourage you the you use yours did you say your father and sister yeah yeah my uncle and my sister Santa called the howlers but my family was always encouraging me to sing you know to the point where they didn't even mind that I didn't finish my last year of high school you know they're like you know what pursue your dreams we got to it's it's fine we support you just as long as you take a GED and you pass that by and you're good so I took my GED and I pursued my my dreams but it's funny because I've what is that a junior year after my junior year in high school my parents let me do that I was in a group called first impression with with Jimmy Munna and my boys Alex vakani Mike Gabriel and Owen tomorrow we were a cappella group called first impression I even have a that's had two we were doing our thing right we were we were singing and we were getting phone around everywhere you know we even got picked up like in limousines thanks I'm a boy Ray Brown we got flown to New York to like go audition and sing in front of a def jam in front of Def Jam Wow back then right back then there was an internet so what we would do we would send a CD and it was just our music and they would hear it and they would love it they would fly us over but when they saw us is like what you're Asian hmm that's a problem no way and that happen so many times in in LA in New York you know it was like when they saw us it was like shoot there's no there's no market yet for for Asians we can't work with this and then they would want to get me a solo but you know I was really I was faithful to my it's my group you know I mean because of my boys I can't leave them so we just kept going with that to the point where some of the band members some of the group members started getting married and we're becoming a smaller group that's that's when Chris Lawrence came in he's another Filipino singer yeah honey shout out to my boy Chris yeah but uh that's when he came to the first impression and the thing with that thing is it's funny because my parents let me pursue that and after a while nothing was really happening they were okay uh what's happening with your music you need to go back to school all right you need to go back so I went to DeVry and I and I wa and I took a computer engineering for like a semester right and then I was up in there going to school and you know I don't mean to be a bad influence on kids but I just can't do classrooms you know how to say so I was there I was studying you know I mean if if I really had to you know I probably pursue that because I do kinda have a passion in in computer technology as well but what age is this that you went back for computer engineers 20 21 years old yeah I mean wouldn't call them quick wouldn't call them kids 21 yeah yeah I think it's okay yeah yeah right and my parents were like what's happening with you music you gotta go back to school you gots to go back and my uncle my uncle was all like you know what my different uncle he's also a musician too but he was talking is like you know what there's really nothing happening with your music you have to go back to school and it's funny because that's what really motivated me like oh man nothing's happening okay fine I'm gonna show all of you I'm gonna show all of you but I still you know I still obey them so went to school but that's what really what really got me was like man I gotta go to school and when like I really want to focus on my passion so I just really I just went on like fifth gear on my passion and singing and I just like finish this album out there I just started like writing I started meeting up with like different producers and my partner Ray Brown hooked me up with all this great music my first album we finished a game face and that was kind of like the turning point of everything yeah right because at that point I was kind of fed up with the American market because you know I was being rejected for how many years now yeah oh we shopped it a little bit but it was pretty much the same thing but when it got to the Philippines through my people Jillian Johan yo shout-out to theta Jillian the legend she brought it here to Universal Records and they loved it so they flew me out here for a meeting and while I was out here GMA Network the TV network they loved me too so they're like you know what Network deal and I got a record deal sells I was okay I'm gonna move to the Philippines I'm gonna start my career Wow let's go yeah what a story thanks man thank you sure that's really inspirational - so I was trying to make it quick you know I know we don't we don't have a lot of time no that was that was really quick you're telling the life story parent like that this is how I became famous in five minutes jr. that's amazing so it's weird because you like accept it but rejected you know what I mean in the in the is like the Def Jam and Americans sort of thing that you were saying it's like a weird feeling right when you get someone loves you it I don't know what it's called like they say there's no market so it gives all the new things like the way people get popular and stuff it's by things changing right yeah and yeah it's like but the voice okay what is the look after oh I just I'm just getting shocked like I right Urich I read the Wikipedia stuff about you I don't think that was in there so it's just it's amazing to stay here if you know and how you express the story and thanks so much for sharing they like you you shared a lot of things that already had written down here to ask trying to um I think a lot of this I don't really mention in interviews and I've done a bunch of interviews here in the Philippines and for some reason like that doesn't really come out but um and I've been thinking about that lately and I was like you know what I should I should probably like tell this story and it's perfect that you called me you texted me you wanted to do this or context I'll have a yeah yeah time everything it's like different times to tell different stories I guess yeah so we when you were with first impressions what kind of stuff were you singing oh man we were doing a bunch of acapella stuff beatbox we would we would start off with an acapella and then all of a sudden it would beat box with a cappella right and all of a sudden we'd be walking to to our musical instruments yeah first one would be a beat boxer so then he would transit he boxing and slowly adding the the drum set and all of a sudden I'm on I'm on the bass and I'm like I'm playing like the bass while singing like this acapella part and then the keyboards come in Chris Lawrence and then the guitar comes in and oh and whatever and then we would switch to another original song that we have you know so we do a lot of original songs when we were first impression and we would go to around like the college circuits we would go to like San Diego and a lot in LA and Michigan we would just be doing a bunch of high schools and colleges it was a fun time Wow that was a lot of my training ground as well because they showed me how to really do original music you know like how the importance of an original song is as an artist you know they showed me how to like we were we were recording on eight tracks of like this like the first digital 8-track recorders we were and making even though it didn't sound that great we were we were doing it and they were showing me that and that's how I learned Wow and now that leads into one of my questions actually um about writing like what's your purse is for writing and recording a song yeah it's different you know it's it's really just inspiration and experience right because uh there's different ways to attack writing I mean you could do writing through lyrics you can do it through melody you can do it through an instrument like a melody on piano or like not in especially now with all these synth sounds like amazing just the technology when you combine the music's you can create such beautiful sounds you know so it's it's really different like for me it's pretty broad spectrum because I produce music as well too so just making a sound is part of my writing process you know like one day I'll just I'll just think of like a little um like I'll make a kick sound and a snare sound and and that's it you know but I'll get back to and I'll use it later you know stuff like that Matt so you're really into the production side I love the production side I'm really focused on the production side right now actually yeah you know I've been really busy as an artist as jr. you know performing and this and that and I've always wanted to get back to my my production side because it's a passion for mine to to write for other artists who make songs for other artists and stuff you know and what I like about it it's the chemistry the the collaboration the whole process of it of just like growing with this other artist because you learn so much from from working with different people mm-hm and for me you know you never stop growing you never stop learning and that's what I want to keep doing keep elevating and it's been an amazing ride just just meeting new artists and working with them like I'm working right now with my niece DJ Whoo she's like evolving as an artist and we created this song and the guy who's called nothing new now it's called like I'm melting you know it's a love song love and it's just it's just so fun when you're mixing that when I'm mixing it and you're getting the sound that you want and she sounds so great on it's like it's so fulfilling and then I'm working with this other artist oh it says my connection isn't stable there we go yeah hey first heard of it who you going like this but then it came back yeah you working with us almost with his other artist Jana Garcia and she is so amazing oh my gosh like hands down to this girl shut up Ilona she's she's only 17 years old she's writing amazing melodies and lyrics and I'm producing these tracks first she's actually giving me like a sound she's kind of like dictating the whole thing and I and I come in as a producer to kind of put her her vision to life yeah and this chemistry that we're going through and I I love you because I'm learning so much from this 17 year old girl she's like half my age I mean she's at my age yeah exactly so but you know I'm learning from a 17 year old you know and that's what's amazing about music were you just doing your maths just then talking so much okay maybe I should let no way I love it I love it you're so talkative you like me that's why my reactions are so long and I'm not even talking to anyone I'm talking to myself you're crazy no I love it I love it yeah keep it up I love to hear what you're passionate about and I'm feeling your energy man it's it's amazing you said elevate is elevate one of your old songs or an album name yeah yeah I don't have stuff yet but yeah okay here's my last last album before the album you're working right now yeah yeah it's called elevated yeah elevated yeah I need to check out your some of your previous stuff cuz I've only cuz I'm like an obsessive listening now once I listen to like an album or something I just listen to it over and over and over so it takes a while before I'm ready to like listen to a new album do you not have him I'm the same way I'm the same way yeah I don't know why I just like to repeat it until it's like internalized or something right yeah it's like I feel like I can connect more when I hear the song several times so they want to hear it again maybe a few months down the track I'm like I mean it you know and you know you transform me because I'd never listened to another language that was R&B style I don't listen to I'm Lebanese background so listen say Lebanese growing up but I mostly knew what the words meant and everything so it was my first time listening to another language taggle tagalog yeah without understanding it but fully like listening to it over and over it's an interesting experience you know that's so cool mumbling words that like don't make in a sense like you know what is it that you got attracted to I mean was it the melody was it the the the language or everything about your voice and the production like the the production sounds the way it sounds and your your vocals I'm very usually obsessed with people's vocals but then I also realize that I am drawn to particular kinds of writing like melodic writing so I noticed there was some artists that I really loved that did a few tracks maybe other people wrote for them or something like that and I notice I didn't love the song them I didn't like listening to it that much which is what made me realize that it's not just the voice that I love it's actually the voice this song the production it's the mix of everything and that happened with yours like the language almost it wasn't it's not even like a player in the game almost we have that connection because we're like nineties kids you know we listen to that kind of R&B and yeah that's our style you know yeah and I think that's why it's like when you hear when I do a run and you try to do it it's like you can do it because it's like it's we have the same influence you know yeah which gets on to what I was gonna ask you as well who's your influences so you had first impressions but before that oh yeah was it influence for sure as my family dude my family has been like singing like I hear them sing since I was born you know and there's music all around me all the time when I'm with my family because there's so much of us my uncle's my aunt's my cousin's my sister's my brothers my my mom and dad you know everyone's musical and they're really good at it too it's not like just some regular stuff you know they're like really good so they made really influenced me so but you know on an international level you know for sure Brian McKnight man and and boys to men there's back in the dates heaven Campbell and and Darnell Jones and blackstreet Stevie Wonder Luther Vandross James Ingram rest in peace even like a wreath of no not Aretha not much but what's her name sure New York Hillary Dane I used to listen to Taylor Dayne all the time and I haven't heard that one is it a guy or a girl yes she's a girl god smoke gets in your eyes I used to put that on repeat all the time but in in Filipino in the Filipino world I used to listen to Gary Vee all the time he was a man Leia Salonga yeah those are the two that he solicits to all the time Regine Velasquez you know these are like kind of like the big names when I was growing up in the States and it's crazy because you know there was an internet back then and I used to like hear of them still and that's why I was so intrigued I was like wow these four the people sing is they're amazing you know used to gravitate towards that Wow nice do you have like a particular voice that you would have wanted to sound like yeah you know I forgot to mention uh sure uh sure was a major influence on me you know I used to want to sound like uh sure all the time yeah Matt actually your voice yeah it really cuz you got the look when Tasha talks it's very similar to your to your deepness your bass in your voice and he's got that falsetto thing happening you know is that he's also quite high to so yeah actually makes sense yes your voice yeah has that cuz yeah you know I think sometimes we gravitate towards artists that have a similar vocal like an angel whatever like to us them timbre is that we call yeah I'm BER yeah like I I gravitated originally to like Craig David McDavid is I noticed my range everything was similan exactly the same you know your voice is never exactly like another artists like etc like I gravitated there like Cisco Andrew Hill oh yes tank yeah ven aqui little mommy whatever I see the way yeah so this guy like blew my mind back then you know incomplete all those tracks but yeah at maze I think maybe we gravitate towards that like initially or something you know yeah I missed that kind of music you know yeah which they would do more like that I mean they kind of bring in the back now with the remakes and stuff you know Chris Brown got that do-do-do-do-do didn't do that man that came out when I was like in fifth grade or something like that and everyone was jamming to that but you keep bringing back these old songs and it's kind of cool because that's that's our era yeah and I loved I loved your album because I was like man this is like new R&B it's so hot you know and did I sound old you know it didn't sound like early 90s or something it just sounded like its own new thing and I love that you know because you know some people say bring this back bring this back but it's like well you can never really bring something exactly back you know because people are always evolving and you just want people to make something maybe that has a similar similar flavors but not exactly the same necessarily because how can I be exactly the same so that's why I really appreciated your album every track bro I'm not just saying it like every time for like two weeks was on just replay just replay you know and and I don't even speak the language so you definitely like so he showed me man I could this R&B artists killing it and they're not just recycling stuff and you didn't just like do different kinds of sounds completely like trap or EDM or something you you're literally made it yeah so I'm talking it up there I really really love it - older us - oh yeah yeah elevated check it out yeah you know I come out with like seven albums already yeah and I remember my first couple albums I was like man is Philippines gonna be ready for this cuz you know even back then when I was 21 years old I was like this is a little bit ahead of Philippines time you know so when you listen to it I mean it's you can tell it's in like the early 2000 that's recorded but you know I I think it could still stay up to par for with the sound game today's game face and I also have another one a self-titled junior yeah that came up the first two albums yeah I got chicken all out bro check them all Jerry um and I'm gonna message you as well a man listening to this I love with this or whatever I'm feeling a man I don't like this on MAGIX yeah you gotta change this one um do you have any vocal mentors did you ever have a time when someone said to you hey dude do this with your voice well this is right this is wrong anything like that yeah growing up as a kid was my sister Jing she would teach me how to riff how to do vibrato how to sustain my my notes and then my mom used to give me a ginger to Raj injure to eat all the time to really eat this this is good for your voice I was like wait it's it's like it's so spicy you know good for your voice all right okay don't just swallow it suck on it how much like this much of ginger is Oh Sam you know so but now it's like I love ginger you know I'll just eat ginger now and I just always remember my mom my mom saying it's good for your voice I don't even know if it's true but you know what whatever it's a placebo effect right yeah it's true so how when Jing was teaching I was like I was like man young like maybe like eight damn 16 or something that she would teach me and then after that I kind of stopped because I went through puberty and from me singing Mariah Carey songs whistling and everything like that like without without breaking a sweat like range like all the way up there right Wow after I hit Rudy I couldn't sing at anything at all like I remember doing a show going through puberty and there was like you know at the time like a thousand people that's like a freaking stadium to me you know anything so I was like 16 years old and I was singing in front of a sudden I cracked and on stage I said the f-word I was like oh [ __ ] because I cracked mom I gotta go so I stopped my mom was like you know what never do that she would train which is like even though if you crack just keep going don't don't don't let them see that you messed up you know she was constantly training me same with my sister but after that when I came back finally the singing was around first impression around 18 years old I finally came back to it and then Chris Lawrence was a major influence on me because he had such a higher range than you know I was like why does this guy have a higher range than me you know and I said like you know I want that high range too so you know we started singing together and I guess we would pick up each other's tips because you know like my riffing capability like he started picking up as well too and I started getting like a higher range so he was like Chris was a major influence in my singing as well oh nice so that explains like the synergy I felt when I watched your your guys performance wherever you wait if you do yeah yeah yeah yeah damn those guys are insane man like yeah so that explains it you guys sing a lot together since I was like 20 years old man people told me like commenters and stuff is oh sorry yeah yeah commenters told me you guys were friends and stuff but um but that extends to the story that you bounce off each other and learn of each other as well yeah yeah yeah yes lucky that you had that and thanks so much for telling me you know because when you just watch someone the the common thing to think is other talented I'll never be like that in the talent they gifted you know they're just and then here you are telling me you know your sister was teaching you riffs teaching you vibrato teaching you sustaining notes I remembered everything said they're good because it clicks with me because those things are so important you know like sustaining a note there's the difference between singing and speaking you know like when we speak we don't sustain anything we just everything's like bah bah bah bah bah but when you sing the the thing that makes you look like you're singing is being able to just hold the note right yeah yeah yeah and then the vibrato adds the extra effect so it's not just all steel tones or straight tones and then the rugs add an exciting effect because it's fast it's like hey not only can I hold a note not only can I do a vibrato effect on it but I can do notes blazing-fast right and you just said them she don't had a rhythm out of her brother she told me had it you know this is like the most standout things you know that make an artist sound intermediate ish to advanced / expert you know what I mean so in that expert zone when you're doing vibrato when you can hold notes when you can do really fast runs and then you know you got the production side and the writing side as well which is a whole other level and the mindset and you're so lucky you know for your mom to tell you cracking is so embarrassing isn't it it is it's so embarrassing I mean like you don't know how much crap I get on YouTube if I put up a cover and there's like not even maybe not even a full crack but just maybe a little crack oh we're about to crack you know when the note doesn't sound quite strong and I'm like you know you can easily fall into that oh you know I don't want to do it anymore I'm gonna you know throw this out there I don't know perform anymore I don't wanna and I'm like hey then I learnt this is the best I can do right now you know this is me now so we're just gonna own it you know and if I need to correct 20 times before I learn how to do a note without cracking and those 20 times happen to be maybe onstage Oh in front of an audience like that's part of the process and that's part of the process you know it's a mindset you're right it's my mindset because you could be the most talented performer artist but if your mindset is wrong you're not gonna go anywhere yeah I love they said that and I love how you had there there's one of my questions yeah I got the questions here have you had struggles amongst your success and you know that to me sound like a typical this struggle story look you know I wanted to stop for these few years kind of thing yeah yeah yeah but you know after after my stuff started popping off like the gameface album you know it's it's really it's a real struggle because it's hard to top a hit song you know it's like how do you be better than that it's it's really hard and I've been trying it's but you know it doesn't discourage me because you know like I'm different as an artist 17 years ago what yeah Oh 1617 years ago when I started wow it feels way too right when you say like that yeah alright because I read you similar yeah yeah it's like half our age man so I'm different now you know and I'm satisfied with the music that I make it's different from what I was doing before but and you know maybe someday I could I could do another hit like bucket but but to but you know my music has changed already from them and I still do that song I love that song and I appreciate and I would never ever grow tired of that song ever I'd perform it at every performance so the day I die you know but I would love to make another song that that can you hop that you know you know I would say just from the kamusta Caliban like that to me it's it's hard when you say a song to top another song because songs all feel different and they fit different moods do you know what I mean like you can say how much how much sales a song got or how popular a god and how much people wanted you to sing it in concerts and stuff but to me like all the songs on that album they have their own thing about them like the one you did with Mika Tomica yeah you're right I was able I loved it the mood just the main man they killed her on this track like it was so different and unique and and the slow Jamaica Blanco and eenie meenie all the like they'll have their own vibes you know so I would say I wouldn't say that you're not topping like bucket papa or any previous success you've had and just saying maybe it just doesn't it just doesn't get as popular but I might not be I appreciate that I'm gonna be writing what I'm saying but I enjoy listening to you the same level you know that's what I mean I feel you I totally feel you cuz you're an artist so so and you know you know what I'm feeling and I totally feel what you're talking about but it's kind of hard to gauge because you know we see uh we see Chris Brown's on on the radio we see Bruno Mars on the radio and a psych hit after hit after hit you know and it's like you idolize these kind of people and you want to be like them and you know that that's what I want to do you know I want to I want to make a hit after hit but it's really hard you know I mean there's really an art to to marketing as well you know it's not just the music it's there's a there's so many aspects to it and like I said I'm always learning and I'm always growing and I'm here I'm never going to stop you know I it's this is what I love I love a man so you talked about a lot of this stuff back I'll just I'll just put these out to you you know what music a listening to it right now I've been listening a lot to her H dot e dot R yeah yeah man she's crazy she's actually a half Filipino half black and she's an amazing writer and like her music it's such right up my alley cuz her R&B it's so just suave and laid-back but she's really saying something with lyrics it's not just you know usually our B it's about lust and it's about love you know love her Z it's about yeah it's about love also but in the clever way it's different you know so I've been kind of like studying that sound and that's kind of like what I'm trying to do for Ilona as well - it's kind of like that sound for of her and I've been listening a lot - fkj fresh fresh Kiwi juice they're this he's this instrumentalist it's kind of like R&B ish type stuff it's pretty cool man man check it out oh yeah whoo I love you a description suave and laid-back army that's mad that's so you not on every track but you know on a lot of the tracks do you have any recommends holes you said that when did you start singing did you start around 800 yeah nah earlier man but I remember my first gig was for a pageant for little kids and I was like around yeah like around 8 years old I sang Unchained Melody did you save everything yeah it was my first gig cuz I got paid I got paid $100 Friday zone yeah that was like the biggest check that I ever got to until like maybe 22 years old for singing because you know I remember getting paid with my uncle's band we're gonna be like like $60 you know we would do 3 sets and I'd be over there lugging the big-ass speakers and there the mixers and wiring everything up and then taking it down taking off all the Y's taking off of the speakers putting the truck right and then going back home and then unloading it into the garage and we get paid 60 bucks but at 8 years old I got paid a hundred one saw I'll pay you heaps kid oh yeah I think my parents have video of it but it's like lost now oh I remember that their dresses and I was serenading like these pageant little girls it was like maybe six of them and I was going through oh yeah with a little bit of the falsetto from that but I think even before that I was singing because my mom used to tell me is to copy Michael Jackson all the time just as a yeah I don't know like I don't maybe like three years old or something came up so as soon as speech was possible as soon as a sounds was possible know what you needed by the kind of run you would do are you crying of it or that means milk I love it when did singing become your career mmm you kind of answered it well you know I guess I would consider it my career when I was finally sustaining myself which was at the age of 22 years old okay so I was pretty much living on my own at 22 singing and that's when I moved to the Philippines so I had a show that I was doing on TV every week every Sunday it was called sop it was a number-one show in Philippines it was on the opposite network that I've been working on with now GMA and that was pretty much my work and while I was doing that I put out bucket baba first I put out design for love and backup of my two singles and while doing SOP it was like this great combination because they would love my song hearing it on the radio and then they would see me singing every Sunday on TV so it kind of like was this perfect combination of marketing for me at the time and that's when I started getting all the gigs you know I would they would fly me all over the Philippines to to sing you know first it started off at little bars and stuff like this and I would go out I would sing I'll do my sets and then it would be like for events for bigger companies and then all of a sudden like all out of the world you know doing world tours and next thing you know I'm just like you know just making a living off singing and just loving every minute of it well how big were the crowds that you sing - well you know at first when I was in the bar is you know the bars would fill up I mean the capacity would be like sometimes I you know 80 people but like 300 people would be either but uh hey these kids saying I can know at the time you know no one's seen anyone like me it so you know it was a little bit new and everyone was trying to get a glimpse of it so from the boys I would move up to uh you know like my first concert was was that the folks art folk arts theatre that was like 8,000 people go over there yeah yeah and then I started doing bigger venues like the last one I did in Dubai it was like 60,000 people Wow yeah yeah I've never done anything like that man that's mr. Wow but you know like we would do like a doughnut there's like 20,000 and that's kind of like a normal Coliseum first out here it's like 12,000 normal I'll put these on the room in your world Morris I think it's like twenty-five thirty thousand you know but you know we would we would do these kinds of venues and but it's not like those are those are the venues that we do all the time you know I mean I'm still doing venues where there's like a hundred people and those are actually the venues that are that are more nerve-wracking when this is like so instrument and you're like face to face would you just looking at you and it's so raw you know yeah at least one it's like a sea of people 60,000 you know everyone is excited and everyone is feeling each other's energy so you know there's a there's more of an applause you know and you could feel that and you you you go with that but 100 you gotta work for that you know you got to work for that applause ah do something to really get that energy out of the Memphis cuz you know it's real real timid at first you know they're just trying to feel you out it's interesting yeah I've only had never done this small venues like when I was doing dance shows and when I used to do some singing shows as well when I was a teacher as well in school there was a lot of performances and you'd perform a lot for your classes like bits and pieces and show them back when I wasn't that good but you would feel that you know because you can see everyone's face right it's like it's scary especially like auditions for shows and stuff like that it's just you and two people two judges or two juices it's like whoa scary man see yeah yeah it's funny because there's that awkwardness as an artist and as an audience right when it's an intimate crowd like that because as an artist you're you're supposed to sing to the crowd you're supposed to make eye contact you're supposed to exude that energy so they can take it in right but at the same time it's like you've never met these people before so there's an awkwardness with that alone but you also see that as the audience because sometimes when I'm trying to sing to someone you can tell like you know they're like kind of like shy and awkward and they don't know where to look there that you know yeah so that back and forth so you really have to gain that trust mmm we have to make connection where it's like where you can look them in the eye and it's like oh I'm feeling this you know yeah oh good and when you did that in Sydney I was just like wow man he knows how to work the audience make everyone comfortable everyone I think some people saw some of the footage I might have poured if people were like hugging you I've never been to a concert like that it was so amazing you like see jump enough in between the crowd it's like the state you got the stage and you're coming into the crowd it was so I loved how you did it man this dude this is personal yeah you know you got it you got to earn that respect and that energy back I loved I loved it I think oh yeah one other thing what's that do you do you have hobbies outside of your music yeah recently I've I like to bike around my neighborhood I like to my pack of dogs and just go around the neighborhood and just you know just get some exercise and III like you when they're following me I can hear their their nails just like lying on this on the concrete following me like what kind of bike I have a little mountain bike that I bought oh yeah and what what I saw I liked basketball sometime Oh Gracie mousekeball lately it's oh I got a switch that I've been playing Smash Brothers a lot just trying to practice cuz it's like really competitive when you're playing my friends you know you gotta be best Smash Brothers what else do I like to do I mean I've been watching a lot of Joe Rogan oh yeah youth yeah he's freaking crazy man that guy what topic oh yeah I guess that's that's a hobby I mean my guess a hundred percent yeah watch you achieve a lot like I watched like a TED Talks and all random stuff draw whatever on YouTube oh yeah like I'm I'm vegan so there's a lot of like vegan drama um this all kinds of stuff all kinds of interesting stuff oh yeah since um nearly eight years now I think yeah yeah yeah a while ago right for a few reasons I'm to help with my migraines and and then I didn't fully help with it but then I just ended up enjoying it and I'm liking liking like the ethical side of it as well and it tasted side so yeah I stuck with it so it's nice yeah I heard about that there must be hard for you to sing we migrated are the migraines yeah um at a pressure in this upper area yeah well I I stopped doing shows because of because of it because you know when you get it it's it's hard to if you have a show it's hard to drop everything and say I'll go to migraine you know what I mean it's not fair for like the people you're working for so I decided you know if I'm gonna do music and stuff I'll have to do it in a way that where I can control it and it doesn't really affect anyone negatively so I stick to the YouTube site because you know that's enough yeah I can do singing on YouTube and put it up whenever I want and if I'm not well I don't have to and if I have lessons I can cancel and it's only on one person it's not to be give a deal they can just reschedule and do another day so I was watching that song that you did the greatest showmen what was the title again yeah never enough you did a great job by the way thank you very good but I was thinking about that while you were holding those long notes and I was like oh man I hope you know he doesn't get a migraine after this because I know about you know you're funny but one thing to where you were like holding a known you were like this it's really good what that really meant was oh I didn't expect it's gonna be this long because I got learned the song in three days oh yeah when I'm walking home I brought I watched it with my brother and I like really cried when I heard that song and it really hit me in the movie and I'm then a few days later the song came up somehow and I was like you know I wanna step out of my books I've been thinking for a while to do like some musical songs just to change my change it up a bit you know because musical songs have a bit of a different feel then the normal stuff that I was already singing and they usually have a bit of a big impact I go if that song can make me cry like that that means it's got a big impact and I want to learn to create that impact in my own voice so I was like when I walk home that's when I listen to music you know yeah what kind of yeah yes yeah so when I'm walking how am I listen and so that's when I kind of lent it so like it takes about 20 minutes to walk home so for three days I walked home listening and then I did one session at home where I practiced properly and luck loudly and like broke down all the the high notes and the holes and everything yeah and then I did that cover so it was really fun and it came out pretty good you came up pretty good I'm hard memorizing songs isn't it when it's new yeah it's like when you haven't listened to a song you know dozens of times like like we have with a lot of songs that we know you know older songs it's like it's a different process to learn it quickly like in a couple of days because we got we know so many songs we know so many lyrics and we only have so many terabytes way more than Sarah yeah funny and in your case II you know you've got like Tara Tara or whatever Googler bites and mine is more like bits the smaller not bites but bits when it comes to remembering runs and stuff compared to your ability in harmony I had one other one for you what is it how do you keep your voice in shape that's just a good question well it's all about warming up it's all about warming up like when you wake up in the morning it's not like it's like it's ready to go you know or it's not like if I'm gonna do a show it's like my voice is like ready to go and do all these high notes you really have to warm it up you know it's kind of I mean I think you as a as a vocal teacher you must tell your students that a psyche a muscle is kind of like a muscle right you got to stretch it out you got to warm it up and it's pretty much that I do a little process of I have my own little scales you know I have eye makeup make a little scales with rifts in it and I just repeat it and and make it like you know step up and step up you know and go down and then but what I usually do is I sing the song over and over again really lightly really lightly oh my god I love what is saying keep going sorry don't see why because you know what you tend to do is is like you go straight to the hardest part when you're warming up you you go to like the belting part right away and you start like trying to do that right away and singing that register right away which is totally wrong I feel like that's how you develop nodules so what I like to do is I like to sing the whole song until I get to the high parts and even the high parts I'm not gonna melt it out right away I'm gonna sing it in a way maybe if you know it depends it depends on my voice if it's too tired then I'll probably start with falsetto first but if not I'm gonna start with it's like I don't even know how you call it but it's like when you kind of like pinch pinch your vocal chords together yeah it's like a light instead of pushing full volume is that what you mean but you're not like it's not like the stage way yeah exactly what's important for me is like practicing also and making sure that I'm not flat not sharp and then while doing that it's like I'm warming it up to the point where I could finally belt it out you know and like maybe I'll sing a song maybe like four or five six times before really trying to belt it out you know I love it I love was saying man because there's a big gun thing where with teachers and students they think they're not sure like what warming up can be doesn't have to be necessarily like a CD of scales or like a predefined patterns it can be just singing but in in controlled ways like you said lightly so shut up - falsetto which not everyone can do you're lucky you can do that really that's like--that's a telling in itself no way knowing when to do that you know so that you don't over tire your voice I love what you're saying yeah I personally do like when I train my voice I do like um like who I said the scale riffs thing but actually take songs like let's say I want to learn your kamusta car yeah you know like let's say I wanna learn like the the run in that that you do at the end of a so I would take yeah are no not the falsetto that when you go go second that the thing yeah so like okay almost it sounds a bit different though I don't fully have it I want to study it but I would take it and I would loop it so I got like a program like an app that loops it you know yeah then I would slow it down so that it's at my level of what I can hear clearly and execute clearly and then I would change the key you can change the key on the program to an easy key Wow so I'll be like and then I'll gradually work it up so it's exactly like what you're describing except um no it is exactly we're describing except sometimes it might be more focused on a bit that like I don't know how to do so I might be trying to learn the actual notes or something yeah yeah that's so cool right I mean what's the app called I use amazing slow down ah it's amazing slow down yeah it looks like that amazing slow down ah it's on my website I'll send it to you I'll send you all this stuff for it but I'm look I'll show you just a quick example of what I mean so let's say where we songs yeah you bring it up come oh that's so cool yeah through the courts actually completely revolutionized how I train of over the years I was back in the day you would have to listen to the radio and recorder on the cassette tape oh yeah and I did it play it learn never cook okay rewind it okay yeah yeah over and over a rewinding over and over so this way it's for when you can't figure out stuff on your own you can slow it down and change the case so that it fits your voice so you can easily warm up instead of having to switch to falsetto or do the light pinch thing like you said oh yeah so you can do like a scale type thing with it so yeah yeah so let's say I want to do that sock I can store it in loops I'll just store it sits in the loop now decided combo cool come back to it yeah so now I just slow it down so I can hear it properly and I'll just drop the key maybe - oh my gosh now do with it [Music] no that's the beginning so like I look at it sometimes in pieces so then so so that was a bit tricky that middle bid so I would go over over that like maybe 10 20 times until that's exactly what I used to do yeah with Brian hey I used to learn like the first part like first three notes of it real quick okay master that and then I'll add on to it but with the cassette tape you know it's like we won yeah it's how funny we learn similar way except you could have slowed down on the cassette tape a no listen pick it up yet right yeah actually I think um I was able to back in the day but I didn't realize that I could learn by slowing it down ah I've done that before it was like speed speed knob on it oh wait I didn't think of that man maybe because you had you you know your your sis your sister and people helping you go to the level where you could pick stuff up without needing to slow down as much I guess it probably would help them listening to bloody boys to men runs and oh my god Steve and Brian yeah oh this one yeas man they're doing just fine Ron's like this [Music] it's like I don't even know it's doing that until I slide it down it's like is that what he's doing he's so fast uh it's free money Ellen that Karen yeah they were out here for a while they were with the Divas in me yeah I have to watch this video I love that they there I'm collaborating with Filipino artist like that it's so inspiring yeah that's really cool can we sing a little bit yeah man what do you want to do what you think can you can you harmonize with you oh oh we can I don't think we can harmonize because of the delay oh really that's the problem yeah okay so we have to like pass it back and forward okay yeah like watch let me show you what happens if we try to harmonize go try to harmonize it still sounds good it just comes in a little later like you probably do it back and forth and we'll try too hard I just harmonized a junior yeah [Laughter] I was I was hoping maybe like for fun you could you could help me with a like a line of bucket baba or something like that okay okay cool yeah and then jam with that yeah let me let me bring up the the lyric yeah we can do the Corey's yeah this is the chorus cuz it's my weakest oh that's it yeah get the key [Music] [Laughter] [Music] and then what I like to do is like visit dips on it dee dee it kind of like go yet slightly up yeah it goes like that you know a slide up slide yet this is a tea try to teach it to my students is really hard doing the slides so really hard because it's a quick yeah cuz they're two notes and they like meshed together right yeah yeah dee yeah yeah you got that which see see see there's like there's like slides it on one scene uh fun seeing No well uh that control right let me try let me try Dean up unseen nah well big monkey something I'm dying sorry I don't want a fan boy too hot in you buddy your voice your voice I can't focus now oh can you can you hear that line again please please so big oh all right these are on for Sarah for the Catalan and uh yeah and then see the end of the end of the vibrato has like a like a volume control in it Oh softer yeah [Music] that's hard tisn't doing the right over trying to drop the volume as well Dan levels that's not exactly that because there's like a cool texture of like it's like a breathy and it's like chopped up at the end of it you know so it's just like a extra texture on it oh I love it I love it I'm getting a singing listen yeah alright yeah bagi how do you say the ink ìbig know that after that a lie you say like that ah with a big hug big baggy baggy big mom oh damn it's hard I really know cuz you got it like him to two tries no no no my fault Sarah is so crackling though right did you ever have that issue like I try to do it I try to I try to emulate that mmm that crackly sound oh no no I mean your falsetto feels like it cuts like a knife like it sounds like CERN so thick the sound I feel like mine it's gotten better over the last two years or I really focused on it better feel like it's almost like it's feels like it's gonna crack a pot easy or something what is it too much air or something maybe yeah do you control do you think about that when you do it or yeah I try to throw in as much air as I can oh purpose so that's you trying to do it Airy yeah damn it might just be the vocal tone might just be the difference in our times oh yeah see your quality it's like we're singing the same notes right but the quality of it's totally different yeah and it's nice though it's really open and it's big and broad you know Airy hmm that's really mean I like it is thank you good talk and I'm really I'm really noticing the difficulty because there's someone breath to that phrase yeah I'm really trying to like go get the air like still happening into the phrase while controlling the vibrato and the volume a lot lowering like you said to do yeah I love it all right see can you show me like a high bit okay no you don't have to do it if you don't want to sing it so that you can cut them we can do that same part just in chest voice yeah okay yeah yeah whoa the pinch that pinch yeah yeah they won't warming up into it it's perfect but it sounds like beast like that to me that's how I executed though I have that pinched in it all the time like all my my loud belting it all says that yes stretching you know I mean yeah I mean that's the wrong way of singing it's amazing no I don't I don't criticize singers that sound amazing that kind of teacher like I'm not sound amazing so what you're doing is right that's it to me you know because even the most amazing singers they get hurt from just over doing like over singing it's just you know your voice has a limit you know before you can get like ass like RSA or something you everyone has a limit so but but some teachers try to say all that you're singing wrong you singer I do I do believe we can sing wrong but you're you're controlling it right there that that's the control method and I know exactly what you're talking about because I had the problem where I'll crack so often and I realized I wasn't doing what you're doing like a while like from if to three years back I was like someone this amazing singer I'm very similar to you he said to me at karaoke he goes man he came he went serious on me because he's like a goofy guy but he's an incredible singer he hugged me and goes your voice is so good now cuz he's seen me over the years get better and he's I you just got to get one thing down you got to stop cracking and he just he just made it he acted on my mind you know and he was serious like he wanted it for me you know so I was like he's right like a goat Alexa learning learn to like reduce that from happening and the method you said is exactly what I did that painting a lot what's happening is when upcoming artists upcoming singers watch professionals belt their first reaction is to yell it out hmm which is great training to but it's like after you learned how to yell out and hit those notes it's like you have to learn how to control it now because you get fatigued if you just keep doing that that's when you start cracking yeah it's like yelling at a club and then you yelling at the club you're not controlling it you know unless you're walking up to people yes sounds good alright quickly yeah hey that's easy for you no no no no it's it's different when you're doing it slower so fast it's like it's like a steer yeah it's hard to do fast maybe with some warm-ups what it's okay yeah yeah right it's really Thank You Man you know a big thing for me was hanging out with singers that were better than me and hearing them and it it outlined for me the things I needed to work on even without them having to tell me sir I love hearing you do it better than me like right in person because I can be like I can hear the thing that I'm not noticing cuz it's like if it's like immediate feedback even though you're not saying it with words you are you're showing me with the action like this is what it's supposed to sound like Brown right it's about when I'm singing with Daryl on I'm like dude I'm intimidated man when I'm singing yeah it's like these guys man they're like they're coming up with new stuff to changing the game and it's like I love it you know I'm learning them too and because it's like singing with other people and learning from them it's the same for me yeah it's amazing to hear you say that like like I see any shows like no matter what level you are you always feeling like that that's nice it never ends yeah then Darrell is crazy bad boy bad boy he's always making my my goosebumps yeah that's mad that's Sam and he freaked me I don't know yeah Darryl what would you watch pardon oh yeah what she's thinking out loud I was like damn these boys creative oh yeah he changes like how does he find these notes just like the immediate that the primal the primal Envy emotion it just comes right and then you got to be like hey man be cool appreciative that you know I'd say yeah he doesn't get to his head and he's just there to make good music and work and just be a good humble person like that all right man let's Jim can we leave one more time just sing out yeah just um can I do back at one let's do back I want yeah there's a girl you want to start you started off I don't start any Keith whatever whatever comes to mind it's
