Music has been my passion for more than 20 years. I started performing at local events, restaurants, private parties, and special occasions in the Philippines, where I developed my skills as a singer, guitarist, drummer, keyboard player, arranger, and composer.

Over the years, I expanded from being a solo performer into a One-Man Band, using professional equipment to create the sound and energy of a full band while maintaining the personal touch of a live acoustic performance. My repertoire includes hundreds of classic hits from the 1960s through today’s favorites, featuring artists such as James Taylor, Dan Fogelberg, Lionel Richie, Eric Clapton, Frank Sinatra, Bread, Eagles, Air Supply, The Beatles, Chicago, Queen, Toto, OPM classics, and many more.

In addition to performing, I have worked as a music instructor, teaching guitar to students of all ages and skill levels. I also have experience in music arrangement, sound production, graphics design, video editing, website development

I’ve been most influenced by legendary singer-songwriters and classic artists whose music emphasizes strong melodies, meaningful lyrics, and timeless performances. Artists such as James Taylor, Dan Fogelberg, Michael Johnson, Kenny Rankin, Don McLean, Eric Clapton, Lionel Richie, David Pomeranz, Barry Manilow, Frank Sinatra, and James Ingram have greatly shaped my musical style. I also draw inspiration from iconic bands like Bread, America, The Beatles, Eagles, Chicago, Air Supply, Toto, Queen, Bee Gees, Earth, Wind & Fire, Fra Lippo Lippi, and R.E.M.

If I had to choose one favorite artist, it would be James Taylor. His warm vocals, exceptional songwriting, and heartfelt performances have inspired me throughout my musical journey. His songs demonstrate that simple arrangements and sincere storytelling can create a lasting emotional connection with listeners.

As for the greatest song of all time, that’s a difficult choice because music is deeply personal. For me, “You’ve Got a Friend”

I am a versatile musician, one-man band performer, music instructor, arranger, and entertainer with many years of experience performing for different audiences and events. My passion is creating memorable moments through music by connecting with people and providing the right atmosphere for every occasion.

I perform acoustic guitar, vocals, keyboard, and live accompaniment, with a wide repertoire that includes pop, rock, classic hits, ballads, easy listening, Filipino favorites, and songs from different generations. I can adjust my performance style depending on the event, whether it is a relaxing restaurant set, wedding reception, private celebration, corporate gathering, or a lively entertainment venue.

I typically arrive 60–90 minutes before the event to allow ample time for unloading, setting up my sound system, performing a sound check, and ensuring everything is ready before guests arrive.

* Setup Time: 45–60 minutes
* Sound Check: 10–15 minutes
* Performance Length: Usually 2–3 hours, with flexible scheduling depending on the event.
* Breaks: For performances longer than 2 hours, I typically take one or two 10–15 minute breaks, unless otherwise requested.
* Teardown Time: Approximately 30–45 minutes after the performance.

As a self-contained performer, I provide my own professional PA system, microphones, mixer, and instruments, making setup efficient and hassle-free for event organizers.

I always strive to arrive early, be fully prepared, and start on time to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience for both the client and their guests.
