A dream come true! I’ve always wanted to be featured in Entrepreneur Magazine. I didn’t think it would happen so soon. Thanks to all the editors and staff for the superstar treatment. A shoutout goes out to Candace Quimpo, Rocel Junio and Eileen Ang of Entrepreneur. Photographer At Maculangan and make-up artist Tricia Miranda for making me look good. And Jeni and Nick of FED.

What a privilege in being tasked to select the best songs of the year for this year’s Awit Awards.

Reev and Vida get interviewed by DJ Owie at The Edge Radio, a local Christian radio station in Makati, about producing the NXTGen Kids Choir’s album GENERATIONS.

Joyce Titular, thanks for inviting us over. Owie Burns, Ron Titular and The Edge crew made us feel so much at home. It is always a pleasure to meet fellow Christians who are passionate about using the arts for ministry. Vida, as always, excellent job. You really sing so well when there’s something wrong with your throat. Haha. Special thanks to Xyza de Guzman for documenting the interview.
