As a new milestone in his career, he thanked his fans for their support in giving him a full house on both concert dates. He promised an unforgettable night for them: &ldquo;Ang gusto ko po, uuwi ang fans ko na ayaw na nila umuwi. Kumbaga, tapos na 'yung concert, nakaupo pa rin sila doon.&rdquo;
The soloist also mentioned that his upcoming concert is not just for the fans but also for the OPM artists he looks up to. His guests include icons such as Ebe Dancel, Johnoy Danao, and Sitti, with new-gen artists Cesca, Angela Ken, and Nameless Kids.
&ldquo;It&rsquo;s a full circle moment for me to stand and to be able to sing with the people that I admire so so much, lalo na sa OPM. Most of my fans are Gen Zs. Gusto kong maparinig sa kanila kung saan ako nanggaling, kung ano 'yung roots ko, [at kung] paano nagkaroon ng ganitong song,&rdquo; he said. &nbsp;
