During the press conference last Wednesday at Eclipse Bar in Solaire Resort & Casino, Erik spilled that directing is one of his dreams and he is thankful to have been given this opportunity to try it. Though he didn’t take formal classes in directing, he got tips by observing directors he has worked with throughout his career.
Erik further added that he is both excited and pressured about his upcoming concert because it is a concert of “firsts” — it is his first time to direct a show and to perform at The Theater Solaire.
When asked how he juggles his roles as director and performer, he admitted that it was challenging, though he added nothing is more challenging than singing legendary songs by OPM icons in a ballad version. It is his goal to rekindle people’s love for the greatest OPM classics and put the spotlight back on Original Pinoy Music through this concert.
