T.Y. OZ REO Brothers

Together with my student Trinity, we will be supporting and singing for Pinoy Beatles, the Reo Brothers of the Philippines. They will be having a concert on the 22nd March 2015, 3:30pm Sunday at Entertainment Dome, Burwood RSL Club. Supporting this charity concert are Brian Lorenz, Tina Bangel & One Voice and Alwyn de los Santos! My fellow coasties let me know how many tickets you are after. 

I love a concert for a cause. 

Below is a short story about Reo Brothers.

The brothers are part of the Otic family, originally based in Tacloban, one of the places worst hit by supertyphoon Haiyan (Yolanda) in November 2013.

The family survived, but lost everything they owned which forced them to become homeless and penniless. They eventually managed to contact relatives in the Manila, and decided to make a move to the capital for a fresh start.

In order to make a living and forge a career in music, the four brothers in the band, which they started as a hobby in 2009, found the courage to contact a well-connected man who saw them in Tacloban previously and offered his help.

Since then, the group appeared in numerous TV shows including Rated K on ABS-CBN in the Philippines, and even The Dr Oz Show in the US. They have also performed on various concerts around the world, including Tokyo, California, New York and United Kingdom.

The Voice Kids 2014 (1st Season)

It had been a very busy 2014 I admit so it looks like I have an excuse for not updating my blog! Hurray!

Well, there are going to be a lot of things going on this year but let me go back to last year's memorable achievement to start off.

It is of great pride to congratulate my daughter TRINITY for making it to the first season of The Voice Kids 2014 here in Australia! She was one of the youngest artist of the television show showed in Channel 9!

She managed to let 4 judges turned around for her during her blind audition (live audition) which made her an official team member of The Madden brothers!

What a brilliant achievement for an 8 year-old! Watch her sing a beautiful song by Minnie Riperton "Loving You".

Once again, congratulations Trinity!

Dreamquest Talent Showcase and Karaoke 2013

It had been a successful show and the venue proved to be small for my students first talent showcase last 7th November 2013. N Thai Sing restaurant where we held our show was full! We did have a couple of people who wants to purchase tickets but we couldn't fit them in the venue hehehe. The tickets were sold out one month before the show! Big thanks to those who have been very patient with us on that night. 

There are a couple of people I would like to thank for being so supportive. First off, thank you to my amazing students, Angelique Goss, Danikka Vassallo, Trinity Young, Remalyn Burlat and Daniela Vassallo. You all made me very proud and the audience loved all your performances! 

To the parents, for your love and continued support to your children. You sure surprised me with a bouquet of roses at the end of the show. Thank you very much indeed!

Thank you Frankie Bundang and Violeta Bundang of Karaoke4U dot Com for providing us a fantastic sound!

To Emz Layco, owner of Masarap Breads and Cakes for celebrating your birthday with us. Those cupcakes were just delicious! I think it was one of the highlights on the night. 

Thank you Sam, owner of N Thai Sing Restaurant, Toukley!

To the family, friends and to all of you who came to witness the incredible talents of the Central Coast Dreamquest students, thank you for coming!

Last but not the least to Melissiah, founder of Dreamquest Singing Academy thank you so much for your endless support! 

God bless us all!

The 38th Central Coast Eisteddfod

Congratulations to one of my students Remalyn Burlat for receiving a Highly Commended Award at the Central Coast Eisteddfod this morning! I am proud of you and your attitude towards all these competitions is just wonderful! See you in your next performance.

First Contest Is Always Frightening

Three more students joined in talent quest this month, I am very proud of them! First contest is always frightening. So many things go into your mind, the "what if.." is a killer and I applaud them for the courage to go on stage. Big artist like Beyonce, Aretha Franklin, Bruno Mars, Justin Timberlake, Stevie Wonder and all great singers started just like any other beginners. The first step is very important and I am simply happy that they did it. 

Congratulations to Angelique Goss, Chloe McDonald and Remalyn Burlat for participating! I hope to see you all compete again ;) .

Remalyn, do you have a photo last Tuesday that we can share here?

God bless everyone!
