I Feel It's My Job To Continue

I Am So Proud And So Happy To Be Filipino.

You Aspire To Be As Great As Michael Jackson Is As An Artist. I Don't Think Any Artist In Pop, Rock Or Hip-hop Has Ever Done It Any Bigger Than Him. You Know What I Mean? He's The Man.

It's Dedicating Yourself To Your Craft. Spending Thousands Of Hours In A Studio Learning How To Write A Song, Learning How To Play Different Chords, Training Yourself To Sing. You Know, To Get Better And Better.

I Think Everybody Don't Know What Color I Am. It's Like, "he's Not Black Enough. He's Not White Enough. He's Got A Latin Last Name But He Doesn't Have - He Doesn't Speak Spanish. Who Are We Selling This To? Are You Making Urban Music? Are You Making Pop Music? What Kind Of Music Are You Making?"

Any Young, Aspiring Musicians Out There, If Music Is What You Want To Do, If Music Is What You Love And Your Passion. It Doesn't Take A Fragrance, It's Not About The Tabloids, It's About You Putting In The Work, Practicing Every Day, Practicing Your Vocals, Practicing Your Instrument, Practicing Songwriting. Hopefully One Day You Write The Song The Whole World Wants To Get Down To. I Promise You, If You Go Out There And Sing And You Put Your Heart And Soul Into It And You Follow Your Dream, One Day You're Going To Be Sitting Next To Ellen Degeneres Talking About How You Broke Records And Rocked The Super Bowl.
