Manila, Philippines and Toronto, Ontario
What is your ethnic background?
Filipino
What does it mean to be Canadian?
To me being Canadian means - high taxes but free health care. Being able to learn and experience almost every kind of culture the world has to offer. Being passionate about hockey, and learning how to cope with –20 degree weather.
What inspires you?
Everyday life inspires me. Whether it is music, a film, a person - anything really at any given time can spark inspiration into my brain.
What do you want to be remembered for?
I want to be remembered for creating good music and being a good person.
Who are my heroes?
My parents, for having the courage to pick up and move everything we had in the Philippines to come to Canada for the opportunity for a better life.
What makes you happy?
Music, family & friends
Tell us something about you that no one knows?
When eating I don’t like to have different foods touch each other on the plate.
What social cause is most important to you?
Tough to choose just one but if I had to, It’d be poverty.
