He has the soothing voice that will make angels cry. 

 

Walang makakapigil sa success nitong si Kito Romualdez as he make waves in the Philippine music industry with his single, Ready ka na ba?

 

Ang dating Most Wanted Song ng DWLS 97.1 ngayon ay currently nasa top nine ng The Big 10 at patuloy pa rin ang pag-akyat. 

 

Last July 9, bumisita ang Filipino-Canadian sa Sikat sa Barangay kung saan nakipagkulitan si Mama Belle sa up-and-coming singer. Ayon kay Kito, he used to be a banker in Canada, before he decided to try his luck in the Philippines. 

 

“Kasi naman before when I was in Canada I was at school tapos I work in a bank. I was a banker so talagang really distant. I’ve always loved music. It’s always been my passion so parang my mom convinced me to try before I turned mid 20s or 30s. I can always go back to bank naman so no problem.”

 

Dadag niya, “I started working in a back when I was 17. I was the youngest person they have ever hired. Basic customer service relations also referral for investment advisers so we have like a client come in who has substantial amount of capital we help invest it for them, whether it's government bonds, securities.”

 

Confident ang 21 years old na binata on what he could offer sa Filipino audience that sets him apart from other OPM singers.

 

“I think I don’t want naman say, that like coming from North America is like an advantage or something. There is a different sound from that part of the world compared to this part of the world, so I think if I can bring that sound here to just kinda spice things up [or] change the sounds that everyone is used to hear... that is I think my advantage,” saad nito. 

 

Sa tanong naman ni Mama Belle na kung ano'ng Filipino delicacy ang pinakapaborito niya, natatawang inamin ng singer na lahat naman daw ay kinakain niya except ang dinuguan at adobong pusit.
 

“Hirap eh. Wala namang favorite basta hindi dinuguan. I don’t [eat] adobong pusit. I like everything naman, basta hindi pusit, tapos hindi diniguan."
