Is musically inclined since birth and a self-taught musician from playing the guitar, drums, bass and keyboards. Started playing drums when I was 3 years of age playing with empty Nido tin cans. Learn to play the guitar by the age of 10 and then played a real drum kit during my second year in high school coz my classmate elder brothers got a band so we hang out in their house and played with it.

Formed a band and joined a song writing contest in school. I was the keyboardist, I taught our bassist to play bass and the drummer to play drums as well as our lead guitarist apart from the vocalist.

Founded Frozbyte and joined a battle of the bands in Capiz and was invited to do front act for bands like Yano, The Youth and Introvoys when these bands had their concert in Roxas City, Capiz. Had a major concert as Frozbyte during Nursing days for two consecutive years.

Came to England as an NVQ student, met English musicians and joined the band called Hampered Balls. Had some local gigs in Romsey, Nether Wallop and King Somborne, all were invitational gigs. Had the chance to jam with Jammer Project, a band from Portsmouth, UK.

Bought some gear and did a laptop digital recording. Release an album titled Key Note distributed by Reverbnation and was on iTunes for a year’s subscription and sold some copies of my songs worldwide collectively from iTunes, Reverbnation, and streaming from Spotify. Presently rank as number 2 in Reverbnation under Other/Experimental Genre as local artist in Romsey, UK. My category of music was classified as Others/Experimental because it is a mix of everything from Rock to Reggae to Jazz and a little bit of Blues plus some Ambient sound and Trance.

My Mobile Recording Studio

My mobile laptop recording studio This does not mean having a portable handheld recording device and also this is not the proper recording studio, which have all the complete amenities and gear but what I mean when I say Mobile recording studio is that this is something that can be transferred to any location and set up as quickly as you can. Like for example, in my case, I don’t have a proper recording studio or room to record so sometimes I’m doing it in our lounge or other times I will set it up in our dining area or sometimes in our bedroom. Also by saying mobile recording studio, in any case I’m moving to another place I can easily pack up things and bring it with me like for example I’m here in England as of now and if ever I’m going back home in the Philippines after my contract expires, I can easily bring my recording studio gear and equipment back home. So, this is not an on-site recording studio or a portable recording studio this is just my own mobile l...

One Love for Abra Charity Concert at The Star of Kings London

Had a wonderful time doing a charity gig for Abra, an island back home in the Philippines where children there are too eager to learn, however, they don't have a proper or decent school to study and no school supplies. The project was very successful. Port Mallilin and Carol Panday invited artists from Pilipino Musikero sa UK and loads pledged their support. Also among the acts were Arisxandra Libantino, the pride of Filipinos in Britain who was one of the finalists. I am the guitarist of Crossedwind and we are dubbed as the House Band during the gig. We opened the event and then we were the closing act. It was a fun night. There were some challenges though. Like for example, although myself and Ashley (sound director) were early to set up the amps and instruments, the pub's sound guy didn't like that we brought guitar, bass, and keyboard amps because it's going to be too loud. He just want us to use their monitor speakers and house spea...

Front Act on Introvoys Concert in Roxas City

We were invited to do a front act on Introvoys Concert in Roxas. During those time, Introvoys was a big hit especially with their song Line To Heaven and Will I Survive to name afew. There were a lot of bands that time who's going to front act and I can't remember exactly the names but there's one that I can still remember and it's called Freaky Deaky, not sure if the spelling is correct. They sang Nirvana, Offspring, Collective Soul, etc. where they almost consume the entire time for all the frontacts. We were the last band and the organizer asked us to cut short with our setlist and we ended up with just 3 songs. We were not pleased but anyhow, we still chose our 3 best songs and that were Only Wanna Be With You by Hootie And The Blowfish where I was the one who sang it, To Be With You by Mr. Big and our bassist, Dolores sang it then our last song was Hotel California by Eagles where Jingle and I blend together at the ending guitar solo and Louie sang it. The crowd...
