Asia's Romantic Balladeer Christian Bautista has been one of John Rex's inspirations to become a music artist since childhood.

In a previous interview with the young singer, John revealed his desire to collaborate once again with his idol, this time for a love song.

"Kung bibigyan ako ng chance sana, sana, maka-collaborate ko si Kuya Christian sa isang love song," John happily expressed.

In a recent interview with GMANetwork.com, Christian responded to the singer's request, stating, "Definitely open for a collaboration."

The balladeer also expressed his eagerness to collaborate again with John, recalling their last team-up for the winning song "Oras Ko 'To."

"So, happy nga na yung first single niya yung winning song is a song I wrote as well 'Oras Ko 'To' and he sang it very well. Very emotional time for him pero he sang it very well. We should collab ulit soon brother," Christian said.

The Kapuso singer mentioned he wanted to try writing their song together and he also sees a lot of genres and music that they can create as a pair.

"We started with 'Oras Ko 'To,' [it] was an inspirational song, so I guess pwede naman din namin gawin like a duet, (like) 'Ebony and Ivory' duet, na parang possibly pwede rin about brotherhood. Many naman and topics na puwede," he said.

Currently, the Kapuso balladeer is gearing up for his upcoming projects, including a soon-to-be-announced project in Indonesia. Christian will also make a return as an actor this year and is open to being back on the theater stage for a musical show.

Meanwhile, John Rex recently released his first single under GMA Music titled "Someday in Your Life" on February 16.
