His passion for music started during his childhood years. He participated in various singing competitions. His best-selling albums, sold-out concerts and a demand for corporate shows, accolades from Awit Awards, Star Awards and Aliw Awards, endorsements for a bank (Bank of the Philippine Island's Express Remit), theme songs for radio stations, and even movies earned him an unusual popularity. His first single, "Pagbigyang Muli", remained number one on WRR's hit chart for more than 20 weeks together with his other songs filling up the chart simultaneously.
