Arnel Pineda shared that he waited 38 years for this moment, and praised Steve Perry for being one of his heroes and silent mentors.
Steve Perry was the lead singer of Journey in 1977 when the band first rose to stardom. The hitmakers known for ‘Don’t Stop Believing’ (among others) changed lead singers numerous times until Arnel Pineda was discovered through YouTube.
This was truly one legendary meeting! Good for you, Arnel!
