Generally - Whistler events/festivals:
- Beer festival, Ski and Snowboard festivals, Cornucopia , Winetastic, Whistler Art on the Lake events.
Why? - people from all parts of the world come to Whistler. You get to do your best to make everyone have fun and appreciate different genres.

I played at almost all sorts of events but corporate events and festivals as there's a technical team ready to take care of musicians too.
The festivals are cool to enjoy as well if time permits.

I began my musical journey as a church musician in 1992, which taught me a lot about key changes, adapting songs, and handling technical challenges on the spot. Later, I played with showbands and several underground bands in Manila. After moving to Canada, I met excellent musicians in Whistler and Metro Vancouver and have continued playing with them.

Favorite influential artist: "Michael Jackson"

I normally setup in 1 hour

I am flexible and can perform both indoors and outdoors

Preferably - setlists and repertoire since I'm plying with the band

Previous bands and production managers describe me as steady and structured person and "in the pocket" when playing bass.
