His passion for singing and his love for the musical are the reasons why he really tried to bag the role.
He said, “Before I went into acting, I really love singing talaga. So nakita ko 'yung chance na 'to na open for auditions ang Rak of Aegis so nag-audition talaga ako. Kasi nakita ko na rin siya before. I watched it and I became a fan and now I am here doing it, so talagang nakakatuwa.”
