Sofronio Vasquez, a 32-year-old Filipino, has made history by becoming the first Filipino and Asian to win the prestigious 'The Voice' singing competition on Season 26. He shares his journey, his mentor Michael Bublé, and his future aspirations.
Dreams do come true, and for Sofronio Vasquez, 32, who became the first Filipino and the first Asian to win the coveted 'The Voice' singing contest on Season 26. Born to Aida Parojinog and Oniol Vasquez, the charming and humble Sofronio calls his growing up years in Ozamiz, Misamis Occidental as the “best part of his life because it made me who I am today.
” Winning $100,000 and a record deal with Universal Music Group, Sofronio advises his young followers, “never to stop dreaming and not be afraid to fail because there is always room for learning and improvement.” We interviewed the “Tawag ng Tanghalan” third-place winner virtually and below he talks about his historic win, his mentor Michael Buble and what he learned from him, his other dreams, and why he will keep on joining contests. Congratulations on winning Season 26 of “The Voice” and becoming the first Filipino and first Asian to do so! Can you please tell me what was going through your mind on finale night? Did you have any special good luck charms or habits that you did before you went onstage?I do a lot of stuff like first of all, I pray alone in a corner every time before I go onstage. I always pray on the side before I go on. I have some secret potions, but I do not want to share them right now. As Filipinos, we usually believe in things that give us good luck. So far, they have worked! Your family was present that night, correct? Who was present and supported you? My sibling and the family who adopted us while we are here in the U.S. So, I was very happy that I have a family here. What do you think made you win or be able to reach the finale? That is a good question. I was never asked that question. I really showed how you can be a vulnerable person no matter how big a person or an artist you are. All you have to do is show your heart. I know everyone in the Top 5 poured their hearts out. I was able to use my Filipino traits of being polite, and respectful. I respect everybod
