This site is all about me and my music. I’m a very simple man who is very passionate about music and believes that through music, I can communicate with anyone no matter where he is, what his religion maybe, or even if he can’t speak. All I have to do is to let them hear my music.I am only 23 years old, yet I have already accomplished something that only few people can. My music has been through distance and complements are coming from all around the world. It is this reward that I treasure the most. All the hard work, the sacrifices, and the cruelty of those who can’t appreciate what I do, are nothing compared to the satisfaction and fulfillment that those complements are giving. It uplifts not only my spirit but all those people who helped me achieve the goal that I was aiming. And so, I thank all those people for without you I am nothing.I am just a man who dwells in the cradle of music...I was born and raised by people with no history in music. My parents were not musically oriented nor lived in a place were music is an essential.I found my interest in music when I was already in my 5th grade in elementary. A group of people who later on became my friends were playing music near our classroom and I can hear them from were I was sitting. Every time I hear them play, I feel something different. It felt like I was deeply at peace with my self. I asked them if I can join their group and if they can teach me how to play the guitar.Five years later, I'm writing my own songs and joining various song-writing competitions such as "Himig Handog" and "Metropop". I can't sing though. As a composer, it is the dilemma that I have to live with. I am also a member of KATHA (Organization Of Filipino Composers).
