Michael first created a buzz in the music scene in June 202 with his song “Pac-man”, a tribute to his dad, boxing legend Manny Pacquiao.
The title “Pac-Man” references Manny's nickname on the ring and even features Michael Buffer's iconic catchphrase, “Let's get ready to rumble.”

In an interview in Unang Hirit in July, the rising artist shared that he's been enthusiastic about music since he was a child.
“Music has been a part of me na ever since nu'ng bata pa ako and I think it grew throughout the years,” he said.
“Nabuo ko ito ["Pac-man"] with my friend. So, kanya 'yun and he hit me up sa Instagram and then he asked to like if I can be featured in it. And then I said yes. Nangyari lang all of a sudden,” he added.
Just a month after its release, “Pac-Man” has already garnered more than two million views on YouTube.
Meanwhile, Manny has also released songs in the past including “Lalaban Ako" and "Para Sa'yo ang Laban na Na'to." His album “Laban Nating Lahat Ito," which was released in 2006, even went platinum.
