Erik Santos recently reflected on his two-decade music journey, from being a boyband member, to singing champ, to the accomplished artist he’s now.
Even before he became the first Star in a Million champion, he harnessed the power of manifestation in achieving his dreams of becoming a solo artist.
Before Star in a Million, Erik was part of a boyband in late 2001. After the band did an album, singles, music videos and TV guestings, he began to feel it wasn’t going anywhere. Incidentally, a former member introduced him to seasoned talent manager and “king of talk” Boy Abunda in 2003.He recalled, “I actually auditioned inside Tito Boy Abunda’s van. He expressed interest naman in managing me but parang ‘di pa niya alam anong gagawin sa akin kung singer ba or pwedeng actor.
“Because when I won, there were a lot of inquiries for acting projects and all, but Tito Boy, lagi niya sinasabi sa akin, Erik, let’s not rush, let’s establish you first as a singer, as a concert artist, recording artist because that’s really your first love and dyan ka talaga nakilala,” he said. Without going into detail, he could say he had his baptism of fire and share of detractors, but what served as his “weapon” was two core values that his parents taught him. “Gratitude — kahit ano pa naman success mo, small or big, you have to grateful to all the people who have been instrumental in achieving your dreams. Humility — hindi lang kapag in times of success and victory, nagkaroon ka ng humility. Dapat baon mo rin yun in times of defeat.
“If you ask me, kumusta na ako, sa ngayon, hindi ko masasabi na OK ako, but I am looking forward to Oct. 6 because ito din gusto ng parents ko to celebrate my 20 years with the people who have loved and supported me from Day 1. Ito rin yung gusto ng parents ko maging way ko to say thank you to them.”“Yung Nanay ko siya yung klase ng supporter na walang ibang magaling na singer sa kanya kundi si Erik Santos. Yung Tatay ko naman, very straightforward, my critic, very objective.
