But anyways, my.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
Name is Charity and my name is Brent.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Welcome to another episode of Unidentified. We have so much
fun interviewing our episode one with our amazing and one
and only Sofronio Vasquez, the Voice season twenty six winner.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Yes, the pilot episode was very successful, very grateful. It
was really fun. But this week we interviewed American Idol
contestant and Pinoy Pride Mickayla Bautisa.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Well along with her father, the Prince of Ilocano Songs
then Bautista, also known as Chino Romero. And when I
saw well, when I saw her audition on American Idol
and I saw her singing and there was a familiar
face there and she didn't do it with her dad,
(01:13):
and I was like, I know this guy. I actually
sang with him in one of the shows that I've
done in Los Angeles way back years years ago, many
years ago. And so what I did was I reached
out to him and wanted to see if that's really him.
It kind of it really looked like him. Van Balutista
(01:37):
aka Gino Romero so that's when we were able to
do an interview with Mikaela and the dad himself.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Yeah, we really wanted to spotlight Michaela and her talents
of course, as well as her dad. We wanted to
help introduce her to more people through this interview, and
I think we did that really well.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Yes, and all right, I think it's about time to
watch our interview with her and her father. Are you
ready here? It is.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Hi everyone, We are here with American Idol Season twenty
three contestant Mikayla Bautista.
Speaker 4 (02:19):
Hi, thank you for having me.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Wow, this is a great opportunity. Actually, it's just we
drove from Las Vegas just to get an interview with Mikaela,
and also we did study about her. We went on
YouTube or and Instagram, Instagram, so we found out a
lot of things about her. But we want her to
(02:44):
tell you exactly about her childhood, her singing career and
all that good stuff. But first and foremost, I wanted
to ask you about you or how did you start singing?
How old you were when you started singing.
Speaker 5 (02:59):
I want to say that I started singing when I
was like two months old because it was my dad's birthday.
Speaker 4 (03:07):
So I was born September. My dad's birthdays November.
Speaker 5 (03:10):
And then when I was a baby, we had gone
to one of his shows and he had said that
he and my mom had said that when they were
saying happy birthday, I started kind of like murmuring, blabbering,
but they said it was singing, so that's what they said.
But like, I've been singing my entire life, So it's
just been something that's been a part of who I am.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
And yeah, and.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
What age did you kind of feel like, yeah, I
can sing?
Speaker 5 (03:38):
Probably five years old?
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Five?
Speaker 5 (03:40):
Yeah, because I would like I would watch like high
school Musical and those things, and I would pretend that
like I'm the character, so I get like belt to
the top of my li Like so yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
So you have pictures of that?
Speaker 5 (03:54):
I do.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
Yeah, I have a lot of pictures of that.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Okay, And so when and how did you decide to
audition for American Idol?
Speaker 5 (04:04):
It was actually it wasn't really how do I explain this.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
It wasn't.
Speaker 5 (04:12):
Something that I had planned. It was just something that
came to me. So a casting producer had actually DMed
me on Instagram and they were like, hey, like you
know we're auditioning for American Idol. We would love for
you to try out. And so I didn't really think
anything of it, and then I was just like, you
know what, let's do it. So then I ended up
like I ended up meeting with the casting producers and
(04:34):
from there they were able to kind of do like
a little zoom audition for me and then proceeds as
it goes from there.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Wow. But before that, have you been singing in front
of an audience? Or Yeah?
Speaker 5 (04:48):
So I sing, you know, I do shows with my dad,
and I also am involved ever since I was thirteen.
I'm involved with Filipino American Symphony Orchestra here in LA
and so I started off with them when I was thirteen,
and since then they always asked me back, you know,
ever so often.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
So they're a big part of why I.
Speaker 5 (05:11):
Was able to hone in my craft and and continue
my artistry with that. I also do a lot of
like local saying competitions here and there. But yeah, that's
I've been doing, you know, kind of like nothing as
big as American Idol, but I've been kind of getting
my feet wet with a lot of.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Those very nice Wow. So it runs on your blood.
Speaker 5 (05:32):
Yes, yes, yeah, I like to think so.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
So we know that we have a Pinoy pride. So
Fronio Vasquez, what do you think of him and and
everything else about it?
Speaker 5 (05:45):
I admire him so much, and he's so talented and
he has.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
You know, paved the way to be able to.
Speaker 5 (05:54):
Pave the way to show the world that Filipinos can
do anything and can do it as good as any
other person.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
He's incredible. He's such an inspiration.
Speaker 5 (06:06):
And I actually watch a lot of his interviews performances
just because I know a little bit of his backstory
and what he's gone through, and I like to kind
of use that as a motivator and inspiration to keep
going when times get tough.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
So awesome, awesome, We are so proud of you, So
Branya and of course Mikhaela, thank you.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
And as far as inspiration goes, who are your inspirations
as a singer? And I guess how does that shape
your singing style and your musical style?
Speaker 5 (06:36):
Yeah, so I think some of my biggest inspirations is
obviously Whitney Houston, Celine Dion, Jasmine Sullivan her. I like
to kind of like make it very well rounded in
a way, so that I can pick and choose different
artists from different genres and be able to come up
with who I resonate with the most and also who
(07:00):
what kind of artists do I see myself being. But
also like the biggest inspiration is definitely my dad, because
I grew up watching him do his thing, watching him sing,
And to be able to have that person in your
life every day and kind of like see what they
go through and see how they kind of go about
(07:20):
things and who they how they become the artists that
they are, is kind of like very inspirational to me
as well.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Nice. So what what instrumental you do you play? You
mentioned about the orchestra that you were. Are you still
a member of them? You know?
Speaker 5 (07:34):
They asked me back ever so often, and so I'm
very grateful to be able to still get opportunities to
sing with the orchestra.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
But I do, excuse.
Speaker 5 (07:44):
Me, sorry, but I play guitar, I play piano, ukulele,
and then I just started learning how to play bass
and drums.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
That's what they call multi instrumentalist. Yes, not only that,
she's so so vocalist, yes, yes, wow, Yeah, that's a
talent that's really gift. So what are your plans? Have
you done any recording or original song? Since you are
a multi instrumentalist, normally you you create music every day. Yeah,
(08:17):
most every day.
Speaker 5 (08:18):
Yes, So I do have plans of, you know, one day,
releasing original music.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
I write ever so often.
Speaker 5 (08:25):
But I do believe that the biggest critic there is
is myself.
Speaker 4 (08:29):
I always kind of second guests.
Speaker 5 (08:32):
Like the things that I put out, I always compare
and it's a really bad mindset to be in. But
it's something that I'm working on, you know, like confidence
wise and trusting myself.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
You know.
Speaker 5 (08:46):
One day hopefully I'll get the courage and the confidence
to be able to really pick.
Speaker 4 (08:52):
Something and put it out.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
But I do.
Speaker 5 (08:54):
I am working on stuff. It's just a matter of
when it is the right time.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
For me to put it out and then what kind
of genre is that.
Speaker 5 (09:03):
Interestingly enough, I'm kind of bouncing around genre. So I
am trying a little bit of like your typical piano ballads, pop,
R and b H, you know.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
A little bit of like different things.
Speaker 5 (09:18):
I'm still trying to figure out who I am, and
the thing.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
Is, I do want to become a.
Speaker 5 (09:23):
Well rounded artist and us true kind of be able
to do any song, any genre.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
I think that's that adds value to a.
Speaker 5 (09:34):
Person's craft and artistry, and that's something that I strive
to be. But as of right now, there's not really
a set genre that I'm really working on. I'm kind
of dipping my feet into different genres and seeing kind
of what works and what doesn't.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
And of course you want to be original.
Speaker 4 (09:49):
Absolutely, yes, yes, yes, that's what.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
I notice about our new generation. They're more aware now,
especially as Filipino Americans, They're more aware of the originality
of not of course, you know your inspiration is with
us that you don't want to be the next you
want to be the next Michael, right, So that's what
I What do you think about? What do you want
(10:11):
to say to all the Filipino Americans or Asian Americans
that wanted to uh like K pop themselves they are
into the original originality now, uh and then now we
have Beanie maybe Beanie from Yeah, So what can you, well,
(10:32):
maybe advice to all the young generation like yourself on
originality and not not always uh you know, going for
like cover songs, Yeah, yeah, because that's what we hear
probably in our generation, my generation, we always go for UH,
you know cover songs, but with me, I do have
(10:54):
you know some you know a lot of original songs
and including brand as well. So what what's what's your
advice to the upcoming or artists, especially Asian American.
Speaker 5 (11:08):
I think that it's so important to stick to.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
What you know how to do best.
Speaker 5 (11:15):
I think it's also so important to just be genuinely you.
I think that you you're like who you are as
a person kind of translates on what you put out
and what kind of artists you are. And I feel
like it's it's it's so incredible to see artists who
(11:36):
who are vulnerable and who are like stay true to themselves.
I feel like a lot of times that you don't
want to get caught into being an impostor being someone
that you're not, because you get burnt out easily.
Speaker 4 (11:49):
And so I feel like it's.
Speaker 5 (11:50):
So important to just stay true to yourself and stay
true to who you are as a person and also
as an artist.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Also, would you be interested in if Philippines will UH
get you into contract with them in the Philippines, because
that's the thing about you know. For example, like So himself,
he didn't sign for UH, a B C. Ben, But
then I wanted to see an artist blossom here in
(12:22):
the United States or the mainstream. What's your thoughts about that?
Speaker 5 (12:28):
I think, honestly, I'm a very religious person, and so
I just believe that wherever God wants me, that's where
I'll be because it's so important to me. You could
want something, but if God doesn't want that for you,
then there's you know, nothing you can really do about it.
So I do believe that you have your own destiny,
you have your own path. If his path for me
(12:48):
is to you know, go to the Philippines and inspire
people over there, then I will gladly do so. If
his path is if his path for me is to
stay here in the US inspire people through there, I
would gladly do so. So honestly, wherever the thought hasn't
really come across, but wherever He wants me to go,
I just pray that it's it's you know what He
(13:10):
that's a great inbedience.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Yeah, and I love that you mentioned about God, because
I mean, us Filipino is a very God fearing and
it's definitely our culture that shapes us as people and
as musicians as well. So we also wanted to ask
you how does the Filipino culture shape you as a
singer and just as a person in general.
Speaker 5 (13:30):
I think that I was very fortunate enough to grow
up with my great grandparents and so I was very
very fortunate.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (13:40):
So I was very fortunate.
Speaker 5 (13:41):
To be able to learn Ilocano and Tagala before I
could speak English. So I was born in the US,
but my first language is Ilocano Andalo after And so
I feel like my culture is such a big part
of who I am as a person. It makes me unique,
and it makes me really kind of be thankful and
(14:03):
grateful for what I have, because you know, my parents
were immigrants, and they sacrifice their life in the Philippines
to come here, and you know better their lives for
not only themselves, but for our family. And so I
think it's so important to be able to remember the
struggles and you know, everything that they sacrificed to be
(14:24):
able to get us here. And so that in itself
is kind of what I kind of keeps me grounded
and keeps me motivating, keeps me going. Everything that they've
sacrificed for me and everything that they've taught me is
kind of like what makes me me, and I believe
that it's very important for people to know that there
(14:46):
are you know, genuine people and artists that are able
to kind of.
Speaker 4 (14:53):
Are able to, you know, like stand up for themselves
and kind of.
Speaker 5 (14:59):
Like you know, show the world that that there is
more to the world than just kind of like meet
the eye and stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
But yes, so we also heard that you are studying psychology.
How do you use that psychology to like study your
studies in your music, because of course psychology influences us
in a lot of ways, and like you said, we're
very critical of ourselves as musicians. So how do you
think you can use psychology in your music.
Speaker 5 (15:30):
I think that what I've learned, like from psychology really
helps with like trying to understand myself as a person,
why I think the way I do, why I act
the way I do, especially when it comes to like
those negative thoughts that kind of creep into your head.
So it's really helpful to be able to learn about
those things and kind of firsthand, Hey, you know what,
(15:51):
like I need to change my mindset. I need to
be able to implement this, this and that. So it's
been it's been really cool to be able to kind
of like use what I've learned in PSI collegy into
real life to be able to kind of propel myself
as an artist and to better my mindset, to be
able to become that like artist in a way.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
Yeah, and interacting with other artists, yes, yes, yeah, very important.
And also how you I mean, were you singing with
your dad? You mentioned that he's a singer, right, I
know him so well. We did some few concerts here
and there back in the day, but I haven't seen you.
Maybe you were still in your mom's womb, because you were.
(16:33):
It was around those years when I met your dad.
So did you perform with him, like growing up when
you already started singing, like at the age of Yeah,
I did.
Speaker 4 (16:45):
We did a lot of performance growing up.
Speaker 5 (16:48):
He so from our audition, we did the prayer and
so that's a song that we've.
Speaker 4 (16:53):
Been singing since I was like five years old.
Speaker 5 (16:57):
We were wise, yes, yeah, we were very four true
enough that our old neighbors were Italian, so they helped
us with the pronunciation. So there's like these videos of
us singing. And when I was still really short, my
dad would get on one knee when we would sing
the part that comes. Yeah, So through the years, like
(17:18):
he's gone off the knee. He has to look up
now because I'm taller than him. So it's like kind
of those are the things that I think about when
it comes to like how long I have been singing
with my dad, because truly, I've been singing and performing
with my dad for for so long, whether it be
like something as big as like you know, award shows
(17:39):
or events or concerts, or even as small as like
at church when we have church and we do stuff
like that, so I've really or even karaoke, like just
little things. We've been doing it for a long time.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
So is he your number one inspiration?
Speaker 1 (17:51):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (17:52):
Absolutely, yeah, I would.
Speaker 5 (17:53):
I would not be who I am as a person
and as a singer if it.
Speaker 4 (17:57):
Weren't for him.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
I am in your mom of course. Do you want
to call your dad? Yeah, and maybe we can ask
him a few questions here. Yeah, okay, La, let me
call on Gino Romero. He's also a recording artist in
the Philippines and that's big. Hell, Okay, let me pass
(18:19):
your the mics.
Speaker 6 (18:20):
How are you shollowing?
Speaker 3 (18:21):
Very good and very good?
Speaker 2 (18:23):
And this is the first time seeing you after maybe
two decades, two decades you were born.
Speaker 7 (18:28):
Yeah, yeah, everyone, we're still young you too, but like.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
The new generation, we're like, you know, sisters and brothers.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
What's a moment that you always think of when you
think of Michaela and her singing.
Speaker 7 (18:49):
When we seen the prayer? That was she was uh
telling you guys that she was short and I was
now the other way around, so I said kneeling. Yeah,
and then so that makes me cry because I never
(19:14):
imagined that.
Speaker 6 (19:17):
She's gonna be a singer like me.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
Gino Romero as she's known as Gino Romero, not as
Boutista and other songs. But he did a lot of
hit songs in the Philippines for all the people that
didn't know. And that's the reason why I met Gino
because of all the concerts that we've done here in
California mostly, and also I wanted to ask you, Gino,
(19:45):
that's that's how I know you. I'm more comfortable in
in uh calling you that. So is there a time
that you, I know, you've been singing with her? Was
there like a thought of like one day she's going
to be an American idol or one day she's going
to be so successful. I know she's graduating. Congratulations. What
(20:11):
was your like vision of her? Like growing up as
as early as five, you know, as parents, we would
always like I can see that she's going to be
this way or you know, so what was your vision?
Speaker 7 (20:26):
I also dreamed that she would join the American Idol
like this time, because I know that you need to
practice more, you need to listen to every kind of
genre songs.
Speaker 6 (20:42):
So I think this is the right time.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
I was.
Speaker 6 (20:47):
I was thinking too for her to join the American Idol.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Were you one of the people around her that encourage
her to join the American Idol?
Speaker 6 (20:58):
I was telling her, But it's up, it's up to her.
Speaker 8 (21:02):
Like.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
Are you that's a strict stricter that And when it
comes to singing or no are you? Or no you
are okay?
Speaker 4 (21:18):
Well my dad Yes, what my dad used to do
when I was younger.
Speaker 5 (21:22):
The reason why I sing the songs I do is
because he always challenges me.
Speaker 4 (21:26):
He's always like, you have to sing this song or
else you're not a real singer.
Speaker 5 (21:30):
And so it's songs like through the Fire all by myself.
You said, Yeah, So a lot of those songs like
he always challenged me in that sense, and so I'm
very competitive. I got that from doing taekwon No that
I'm very competitive. So whenever he says that, says that
to me, it kind of like irritates me. But also
(21:50):
I know I know that he's saying it because he
knows that I can do it.
Speaker 4 (21:54):
I just need a little bit of encouragement.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
But yeah, yeah, as Filipinos, especially the you know, we
always want our kids or our you know, I'm a
vocal coach, so we always want them to like reach
the highest note. Yeah, if they can do it, if
we need some can do it, we can do it too,
you know. But then it's it's it's not really the
(22:18):
reality of it is not because as a vocal coach,
I think you have to use your own voice. So
the reason why we use in our Selenia was able
to reach those notes because they were using their own
voice and originality. So but then of course, growing up
you kind of wanted them, like like yourself to to
(22:38):
to have that. Oh yeah, you can reach that, so
you can join American Idol, you can be the champion
of any competition. So what are your as a dad,
what are your plans for her. I know she's graduating
and she's very successful, very good parents. That guy that
(22:59):
you molded you to who you are now, so what
are your plans for her? And now that she's I
can say she's successful in what she does.
Speaker 7 (23:11):
Now just support her, support her passion. And yeah, we'll
be here, my wife and I will be here to
support you all the way.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
You're gonna make me cry too, So our last questions
before we we move on.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
Or I just wanted to say that I love that
you have a lot of interests diving, getting your feet
wet with psychology, taekwon do, with singing. I love that, yeah,
monta instrumentalist. It's just very fun to see that you
have those interests and because it kind of mimics like me, yes,
(24:00):
and it's like I love exploring different things.
Speaker 4 (24:03):
I love being adventurous.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
I love that you're like adventurous as well. And we
just wanted to say thank you so much for just
inviting us to your home allowing us to interview you.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
We invited ourselves, that's what happened. Yeah, thank you Gino
for your time. And it was just a little conversation
we haven't seen in like two decades. And all of
a sudden, I was like, hey, g no, do you
remember me? Of course we did. Means yeah, so we
(24:38):
have to live to that and we have to. Anyways,
I'm so happy you are truly an American idol you
in that sense, and we're so proud of you. We
will support you all the way. Like your dad, We're
so proud that you are in one of our episodes,
and of unidentified, she truly is identified, uh today in
(25:01):
this episode. So is there any more advice or words
for words to y? Yeah, encouragement.
Speaker 5 (25:10):
Yeah, I've always you know, I've always had inspirations of
my own, like Jessica Sanchez is also a big inspiration,
especially here in America. And I just think that it's
an honor, it's a privilege, and I also believe that
it's a responsibility that I have to represent not only
(25:31):
you know, the Filipinos, the Filipino Americans, but also the
young dreamers out there. My goal is to at the
end of the day, is to inspire people through music.
And so my advice was just to be keep dreaming.
It's very very cliche, but keep dreaming, keep going because
one day you'll look back at everything and you'll not
(25:53):
you won't know how, but you made it.
Speaker 4 (25:55):
You'll have just made it. And so that's something that
I live by.
Speaker 5 (25:59):
Another thing that I if that would just be rejection
doesn't always mean that it's the end of the road.
Speaker 4 (26:04):
Rejection is always redirection for something that God has planned
for you.
Speaker 5 (26:08):
And so just trust in it, trust in yourself and
like my dad said, dream big because it's unlimited. So yeah,
and it's free and it's free, it's free.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
I love that quote. Redirection is I know, rejection is redirection.
You have to write that, kids or people, so anything
that you want to say, Gino.
Speaker 7 (26:36):

Name is Charity and my name is Brent.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Welcome to another episode of Unidentified. We have so much
fun interviewing our episode one with our amazing and one
and only Sofronio Vasquez, the Voice season twenty six winner.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Yes, the pilot episode was very successful, very grateful. It
was really fun. But this week we interviewed American Idol
contestant and Pinoy Pride Mickayla Bautisa.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Well along with her father, the Prince of Ilocano Songs
then Bautista, also known as Chino Romero. And when I
saw well, when I saw her audition on American Idol
and I saw her singing and there was a familiar
face there and she didn't do it with her dad,
(01:13):
and I was like, I know this guy. I actually
sang with him in one of the shows that I've
done in Los Angeles way back years years ago, many
years ago. And so what I did was I reached
out to him and wanted to see if that's really him.
It kind of it really looked like him. Van Balutista
(01:37):
aka Gino Romero so that's when we were able to
do an interview with Mikaela and the dad himself.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Yeah, we really wanted to spotlight Michaela and her talents
of course, as well as her dad. We wanted to
help introduce her to more people through this interview, and
I think we did that really well.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Yes, and all right, I think it's about time to
watch our interview with her and her father. Are you
ready here? It is.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Hi everyone, We are here with American Idol Season twenty
three contestant Mikayla Bautista.
Speaker 4 (02:19):
Hi, thank you for having me.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Wow, this is a great opportunity. Actually, it's just we
drove from Las Vegas just to get an interview with Mikaela,
and also we did study about her. We went on
YouTube or and Instagram, Instagram, so we found out a
lot of things about her. But we want her to
(02:44):
tell you exactly about her childhood, her singing career and
all that good stuff. But first and foremost, I wanted
to ask you about you or how did you start singing?
How old you were when you started singing.
Speaker 5 (02:59):
I want to say that I started singing when I
was like two months old because it was my dad's birthday.
Speaker 4 (03:07):
So I was born September. My dad's birthdays November.
Speaker 5 (03:10):
And then when I was a baby, we had gone
to one of his shows and he had said that
he and my mom had said that when they were
saying happy birthday, I started kind of like murmuring, blabbering,
but they said it was singing, so that's what they said.
But like, I've been singing my entire life, So it's
just been something that's been a part of who I am.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
And yeah, and.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
What age did you kind of feel like, yeah, I
can sing?
Speaker 5 (03:38):
Probably five years old?
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Five?
Speaker 5 (03:40):
Yeah, because I would like I would watch like high
school Musical and those things, and I would pretend that
like I'm the character, so I get like belt to
the top of my li Like so yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
So you have pictures of that?
Speaker 5 (03:54):
I do.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
Yeah, I have a lot of pictures of that.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Okay, And so when and how did you decide to
audition for American Idol?
Speaker 5 (04:04):
It was actually it wasn't really how do I explain this.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
It wasn't.
Speaker 5 (04:12):
Something that I had planned. It was just something that
came to me. So a casting producer had actually DMed
me on Instagram and they were like, hey, like you
know we're auditioning for American Idol. We would love for
you to try out. And so I didn't really think
anything of it, and then I was just like, you
know what, let's do it. So then I ended up
like I ended up meeting with the casting producers and
(04:34):
from there they were able to kind of do like
a little zoom audition for me and then proceeds as
it goes from there.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Wow. But before that, have you been singing in front
of an audience? Or Yeah?
Speaker 5 (04:48):
So I sing, you know, I do shows with my dad,
and I also am involved ever since I was thirteen.
I'm involved with Filipino American Symphony Orchestra here in LA
and so I started off with them when I was thirteen,
and since then they always asked me back, you know,
ever so often.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
So they're a big part of why I.
Speaker 5 (05:11):
Was able to hone in my craft and and continue
my artistry with that. I also do a lot of
like local saying competitions here and there. But yeah, that's
I've been doing, you know, kind of like nothing as
big as American Idol, but I've been kind of getting
my feet wet with a lot of.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Those very nice Wow. So it runs on your blood.
Speaker 5 (05:32):
Yes, yes, yeah, I like to think so.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
So we know that we have a Pinoy pride. So
Fronio Vasquez, what do you think of him and and
everything else about it?
Speaker 5 (05:45):
I admire him so much, and he's so talented and
he has.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
You know, paved the way to be able to.
Speaker 5 (05:54):
Pave the way to show the world that Filipinos can
do anything and can do it as good as any
other person.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
He's incredible. He's such an inspiration.
Speaker 5 (06:06):
And I actually watch a lot of his interviews performances
just because I know a little bit of his backstory
and what he's gone through, and I like to kind
of use that as a motivator and inspiration to keep
going when times get tough.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
So awesome, awesome, We are so proud of you, So
Branya and of course Mikhaela, thank you.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
And as far as inspiration goes, who are your inspirations
as a singer? And I guess how does that shape
your singing style and your musical style?
Speaker 5 (06:36):
Yeah, so I think some of my biggest inspirations is
obviously Whitney Houston, Celine Dion, Jasmine Sullivan her. I like
to kind of like make it very well rounded in
a way, so that I can pick and choose different
artists from different genres and be able to come up
with who I resonate with the most and also who
(07:00):
what kind of artists do I see myself being. But
also like the biggest inspiration is definitely my dad, because
I grew up watching him do his thing, watching him sing,
And to be able to have that person in your
life every day and kind of like see what they
go through and see how they kind of go about
(07:20):
things and who they how they become the artists that
they are, is kind of like very inspirational to me
as well.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Nice. So what what instrumental you do you play? You
mentioned about the orchestra that you were. Are you still
a member of them? You know?
Speaker 5 (07:34):
They asked me back ever so often, and so I'm
very grateful to be able to still get opportunities to
sing with the orchestra.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
But I do, excuse.
Speaker 5 (07:44):
Me, sorry, but I play guitar, I play piano, ukulele,
and then I just started learning how to play bass
and drums.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
That's what they call multi instrumentalist. Yes, not only that,
she's so so vocalist, yes, yes, wow, Yeah, that's a
talent that's really gift. So what are your plans? Have
you done any recording or original song? Since you are
a multi instrumentalist, normally you you create music every day. Yeah,
(08:17):
most every day.
Speaker 5 (08:18):
Yes, So I do have plans of, you know, one day,
releasing original music.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
I write ever so often.
Speaker 5 (08:25):
But I do believe that the biggest critic there is
is myself.
Speaker 4 (08:29):
I always kind of second guests.
Speaker 5 (08:32):
Like the things that I put out, I always compare
and it's a really bad mindset to be in. But
it's something that I'm working on, you know, like confidence
wise and trusting myself.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
You know.
Speaker 5 (08:46):
One day hopefully I'll get the courage and the confidence
to be able to really pick.
Speaker 4 (08:52):
Something and put it out.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
But I do.
Speaker 5 (08:54):
I am working on stuff. It's just a matter of
when it is the right time.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
For me to put it out and then what kind
of genre is that.
Speaker 5 (09:03):
Interestingly enough, I'm kind of bouncing around genre. So I
am trying a little bit of like your typical piano ballads, pop,
R and b H, you know.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
A little bit of like different things.
Speaker 5 (09:18):
I'm still trying to figure out who I am, and
the thing.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
Is, I do want to become a.
Speaker 5 (09:23):
Well rounded artist and us true kind of be able
to do any song, any genre.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
I think that's that adds value to a.
Speaker 5 (09:34):
Person's craft and artistry, and that's something that I strive
to be. But as of right now, there's not really
a set genre that I'm really working on. I'm kind
of dipping my feet into different genres and seeing kind
of what works and what doesn't.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
And of course you want to be original.
Speaker 4 (09:49):
Absolutely, yes, yes, yes, that's what.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
I notice about our new generation. They're more aware now,
especially as Filipino Americans, They're more aware of the originality
of not of course, you know your inspiration is with
us that you don't want to be the next you
want to be the next Michael, right, So that's what
I What do you think about? What do you want
(10:11):
to say to all the Filipino Americans or Asian Americans
that wanted to uh like K pop themselves they are
into the original originality now, uh and then now we
have Beanie maybe Beanie from Yeah, So what can you, well,
(10:32):
maybe advice to all the young generation like yourself on
originality and not not always uh you know, going for
like cover songs, Yeah, yeah, because that's what we hear
probably in our generation, my generation, we always go for UH,
you know cover songs, but with me, I do have
(10:54):
you know some you know a lot of original songs
and including brand as well. So what what's what's your
advice to the upcoming or artists, especially Asian American.
Speaker 5 (11:08):
I think that it's so important to stick to.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
What you know how to do best.
Speaker 5 (11:15):
I think it's also so important to just be genuinely you.
I think that you you're like who you are as
a person kind of translates on what you put out
and what kind of artists you are. And I feel
like it's it's it's so incredible to see artists who
(11:36):
who are vulnerable and who are like stay true to themselves.
I feel like a lot of times that you don't
want to get caught into being an impostor being someone
that you're not, because you get burnt out easily.
Speaker 4 (11:49):
And so I feel like it's.
Speaker 5 (11:50):
So important to just stay true to yourself and stay
true to who you are as a person and also
as an artist.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Also, would you be interested in if Philippines will UH
get you into contract with them in the Philippines, because
that's the thing about you know. For example, like So himself,
he didn't sign for UH, a B C. Ben, But
then I wanted to see an artist blossom here in
(12:22):
the United States or the mainstream. What's your thoughts about that?
Speaker 5 (12:28):
I think, honestly, I'm a very religious person, and so
I just believe that wherever God wants me, that's where
I'll be because it's so important to me. You could
want something, but if God doesn't want that for you,
then there's you know, nothing you can really do about it.
So I do believe that you have your own destiny,
you have your own path. If his path for me
(12:48):
is to you know, go to the Philippines and inspire
people over there, then I will gladly do so. If
his path is if his path for me is to
stay here in the US inspire people through there, I
would gladly do so. So honestly, wherever the thought hasn't
really come across, but wherever He wants me to go,
I just pray that it's it's you know what He
(13:10):
that's a great inbedience.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Yeah, and I love that you mentioned about God, because
I mean, us Filipino is a very God fearing and
it's definitely our culture that shapes us as people and
as musicians as well. So we also wanted to ask
you how does the Filipino culture shape you as a
singer and just as a person in general.
Speaker 5 (13:30):
I think that I was very fortunate enough to grow
up with my great grandparents and so I was very
very fortunate.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (13:40):
So I was very fortunate.
Speaker 5 (13:41):
To be able to learn Ilocano and Tagala before I
could speak English. So I was born in the US,
but my first language is Ilocano Andalo after And so
I feel like my culture is such a big part
of who I am as a person. It makes me unique,
and it makes me really kind of be thankful and
(14:03):
grateful for what I have, because you know, my parents
were immigrants, and they sacrifice their life in the Philippines
to come here, and you know better their lives for
not only themselves, but for our family. And so I
think it's so important to be able to remember the
struggles and you know, everything that they sacrificed to be
(14:24):
able to get us here. And so that in itself
is kind of what I kind of keeps me grounded
and keeps me motivating, keeps me going. Everything that they've
sacrificed for me and everything that they've taught me is
kind of like what makes me me, and I believe
that it's very important for people to know that there
(14:46):
are you know, genuine people and artists that are able
to kind of.
Speaker 4 (14:53):
Are able to, you know, like stand up for themselves
and kind of.
Speaker 5 (14:59):
Like you know, show the world that that there is
more to the world than just kind of like meet
the eye and stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
But yes, so we also heard that you are studying psychology.
How do you use that psychology to like study your
studies in your music, because of course psychology influences us
in a lot of ways, and like you said, we're
very critical of ourselves as musicians. So how do you
think you can use psychology in your music.
Speaker 5 (15:30):
I think that what I've learned, like from psychology really
helps with like trying to understand myself as a person,
why I think the way I do, why I act
the way I do, especially when it comes to like
those negative thoughts that kind of creep into your head.
So it's really helpful to be able to learn about
those things and kind of firsthand, Hey, you know what,
(15:51):
like I need to change my mindset. I need to
be able to implement this, this and that. So it's
been it's been really cool to be able to kind
of like use what I've learned in PSI collegy into
real life to be able to kind of propel myself
as an artist and to better my mindset, to be
able to become that like artist in a way.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
Yeah, and interacting with other artists, yes, yes, yeah, very important.
And also how you I mean, were you singing with
your dad? You mentioned that he's a singer, right, I
know him so well. We did some few concerts here
and there back in the day, but I haven't seen you.
Maybe you were still in your mom's womb, because you were.
(16:33):
It was around those years when I met your dad.
So did you perform with him, like growing up when
you already started singing, like at the age of Yeah,
I did.
Speaker 4 (16:45):
We did a lot of performance growing up.
Speaker 5 (16:48):
He so from our audition, we did the prayer and
so that's a song that we've.
Speaker 4 (16:53):
Been singing since I was like five years old.
Speaker 5 (16:57):
We were wise, yes, yeah, we were very four true
enough that our old neighbors were Italian, so they helped
us with the pronunciation. So there's like these videos of
us singing. And when I was still really short, my
dad would get on one knee when we would sing
the part that comes. Yeah, So through the years, like
(17:18):
he's gone off the knee. He has to look up
now because I'm taller than him. So it's like kind
of those are the things that I think about when
it comes to like how long I have been singing
with my dad, because truly, I've been singing and performing
with my dad for for so long, whether it be
like something as big as like you know, award shows
(17:39):
or events or concerts, or even as small as like
at church when we have church and we do stuff
like that, so I've really or even karaoke, like just
little things. We've been doing it for a long time.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
So is he your number one inspiration?
Speaker 1 (17:51):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (17:52):
Absolutely, yeah, I would.
Speaker 5 (17:53):
I would not be who I am as a person
and as a singer if it.
Speaker 4 (17:57):
Weren't for him.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
I am in your mom of course. Do you want
to call your dad? Yeah, and maybe we can ask
him a few questions here. Yeah, okay, La, let me
call on Gino Romero. He's also a recording artist in
the Philippines and that's big. Hell, Okay, let me pass
(18:19):
your the mics.
Speaker 6 (18:20):
How are you shollowing?
Speaker 3 (18:21):
Very good and very good?
Speaker 2 (18:23):
And this is the first time seeing you after maybe
two decades, two decades you were born.
Speaker 7 (18:28):
Yeah, yeah, everyone, we're still young you too, but like.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
The new generation, we're like, you know, sisters and brothers.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
What's a moment that you always think of when you
think of Michaela and her singing.
Speaker 7 (18:49):
When we seen the prayer? That was she was uh
telling you guys that she was short and I was
now the other way around, so I said kneeling. Yeah,
and then so that makes me cry because I never
(19:14):
imagined that.
Speaker 6 (19:17):
She's gonna be a singer like me.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
Gino Romero as she's known as Gino Romero, not as
Boutista and other songs. But he did a lot of
hit songs in the Philippines for all the people that
didn't know. And that's the reason why I met Gino
because of all the concerts that we've done here in
California mostly, and also I wanted to ask you, Gino,
(19:45):
that's that's how I know you. I'm more comfortable in
in uh calling you that. So is there a time
that you, I know, you've been singing with her? Was
there like a thought of like one day she's going
to be an American idol or one day she's going
to be so successful. I know she's graduating. Congratulations. What
(20:11):
was your like vision of her? Like growing up as
as early as five, you know, as parents, we would
always like I can see that she's going to be
this way or you know, so what was your vision?
Speaker 7 (20:26):
I also dreamed that she would join the American Idol
like this time, because I know that you need to
practice more, you need to listen to every kind of
genre songs.
Speaker 6 (20:42):
So I think this is the right time.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
I was.
Speaker 6 (20:47):
I was thinking too for her to join the American Idol.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Were you one of the people around her that encourage
her to join the American Idol?
Speaker 6 (20:58):
I was telling her, But it's up, it's up to her.
Speaker 8 (21:02):
Like.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
Are you that's a strict stricter that And when it
comes to singing or no are you? Or no you
are okay?
Speaker 4 (21:18):
Well my dad Yes, what my dad used to do
when I was younger.
Speaker 5 (21:22):
The reason why I sing the songs I do is
because he always challenges me.
Speaker 4 (21:26):
He's always like, you have to sing this song or
else you're not a real singer.
Speaker 5 (21:30):
And so it's songs like through the Fire all by myself.
You said, Yeah, So a lot of those songs like
he always challenged me in that sense, and so I'm
very competitive. I got that from doing taekwon No that
I'm very competitive. So whenever he says that, says that
to me, it kind of like irritates me. But also
(21:50):
I know I know that he's saying it because he
knows that I can do it.
Speaker 4 (21:54):
I just need a little bit of encouragement.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
But yeah, yeah, as Filipinos, especially the you know, we
always want our kids or our you know, I'm a
vocal coach, so we always want them to like reach
the highest note. Yeah, if they can do it, if
we need some can do it, we can do it too,
you know. But then it's it's it's not really the
(22:18):
reality of it is not because as a vocal coach,
I think you have to use your own voice. So
the reason why we use in our Selenia was able
to reach those notes because they were using their own
voice and originality. So but then of course, growing up
you kind of wanted them, like like yourself to to
(22:38):
to have that. Oh yeah, you can reach that, so
you can join American Idol, you can be the champion
of any competition. So what are your as a dad,
what are your plans for her. I know she's graduating
and she's very successful, very good parents. That guy that
(22:59):
you molded you to who you are now, so what
are your plans for her? And now that she's I
can say she's successful in what she does.
Speaker 7 (23:11):
Now just support her, support her passion. And yeah, we'll
be here, my wife and I will be here to
support you all the way.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
You're gonna make me cry too, So our last questions
before we we move on.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
Or I just wanted to say that I love that
you have a lot of interests diving, getting your feet
wet with psychology, taekwon do, with singing. I love that, yeah,
monta instrumentalist. It's just very fun to see that you
have those interests and because it kind of mimics like me, yes,
(24:00):
and it's like I love exploring different things.
Speaker 4 (24:03):
I love being adventurous.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
I love that you're like adventurous as well. And we
just wanted to say thank you so much for just
inviting us to your home allowing us to interview you.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
We invited ourselves, that's what happened. Yeah, thank you Gino
for your time. And it was just a little conversation
we haven't seen in like two decades. And all of
a sudden, I was like, hey, g no, do you
remember me? Of course we did. Means yeah, so we
(24:38):
have to live to that and we have to. Anyways,
I'm so happy you are truly an American idol you
in that sense, and we're so proud of you. We
will support you all the way. Like your dad, We're
so proud that you are in one of our episodes,
and of unidentified, she truly is identified, uh today in
(25:01):
this episode. So is there any more advice or words
for words to y? Yeah, encouragement.
Speaker 5 (25:10):
Yeah, I've always you know, I've always had inspirations of
my own, like Jessica Sanchez is also a big inspiration,
especially here in America. And I just think that it's
an honor, it's a privilege, and I also believe that
it's a responsibility that I have to represent not only
(25:31):
you know, the Filipinos, the Filipino Americans, but also the
young dreamers out there. My goal is to at the
end of the day, is to inspire people through music.
And so my advice was just to be keep dreaming.
It's very very cliche, but keep dreaming, keep going because
one day you'll look back at everything and you'll not
(25:53):
you won't know how, but you made it.
Speaker 4 (25:55):
You'll have just made it. And so that's something that
I live by.
Speaker 5 (25:59):
Another thing that I if that would just be rejection
doesn't always mean that it's the end of the road.
Speaker 4 (26:04):
Rejection is always redirection for something that God has planned
for you.
Speaker 5 (26:08):
And so just trust in it, trust in yourself and
like my dad said, dream big because it's unlimited. So yeah,
and it's free and it's free, it's free.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
I love that quote. Redirection is I know, rejection is redirection.
You have to write that, kids or people, so anything
that you want to say, Gino.
