During the media conference for his sophomore single release Sa Tuwing Umuulan, Tiangco shared what kind of artist he wants to be.
“Gusto ko talaga na ma-highlight ako as a Soul R&B singer po talaga. Soul R&B. Kasi, ngayon po madami nagfi-fifty-fifty na artists. Lalo na ‘yung mga batang artists.”
Tiangco then shared his music artists that influenced his singing style.
“Syempre po si Mama, tinuturuan po ako ng mga classic like kanta po nila Karen Carpenter. Tapos dun naman po nagsimula. Naging influence ko po sila Stevie Wonder, Luther Vandross.
“Actually, madami pong nagtatanong na, ‘uy ang bata mo pa, pero ‘yung music mo.’ Old soul po talaga ako.”
He then revealed that he wants to release retro soul music Extended Play tracklist or Album similar to Bruno Mars.
“Gusto ko po retro talaga. Retro, Soul Classic talaga kasi as of now po, gusto ko po talaga i-showcase kung ano ako as a singer and artist. Kasi para po sa akin, iba ‘yung singer, iba ‘yung artist.
“Hopefully, ‘yung ganong klaseng album. Retro, parang Bruno Mars-type of ano, or VST Company, Solid. ‘Yung mga ganong type of songs po. Gusto ko pong ibalik ‘yung past sa present.”
Tiangco also highlighted that he’s currently applying for a musical course in vocals and instruments at Berkley College of Music.
“Lately po nag-aaral po ako mag-produce ng music. Kasi hindi naman po ako music production na graduate or what. Mass Communications po tayo, so medyo malayo.
“Ngayon po may pinagkaka-abalahan po ako sa US. Sa Berkley College of Music. Hopefully, nag-apply po ako for their music talaga ng course. So sana, hopefully, makapasok po tayo sa scholarship nila.”
