Viray’s journey began during his college years when he would sing and sideline as a means of expression and additional income. However, after graduation, he temporarily paused his singing pursuits to focus on passing the board exams for electronics engineering.
“During college, kumakanta ako, suma-sideline ako. Right after graduation po, nag-stop ako sa singing, nag-take ako ng boards. Luckily, napasa po yung boards.
