He was invited to perform as part of a Filipino heritage night celebration.
According to Inigo, “If only I could talk to my younger self and tell him that it would one day happen… I used to pass by Staples Center coming from the airport and I would always say ‘one day, I’ll be performing in there.'”
On Instagram, he added, “I’ve grown to love and appreciate my homeland, language, and heritage deeply after moving back [to Manila]. I’m 22 now, and one of my personal goals as an artist is to be able to be part of that Generation that is able to bring OPM to the World Stage. I knew that I would forever be singing Tagalog songs still anywhere I go. 7 to 22 … I did not think this whole thing would happen. I dreamt of performing at Staples Center and being able to share the music from my homeland… It was a dream…”
Dreams do come true!
