JC Regino gets emotional as he remembered his late dad April Boy during his contract signing with GMA Music
"Gusto ko po talagang bumalik sa musika para kay daddy at para na rin po sa sarili ko." - JC Regino
JC Regino, the son of OPM icon April Boy Regino, expressed nothing but gratitude for the opportunity to be back in the music scene as he officially became part of GMA Music's talented musicians after his virtual contract signing on Tuesday, January 24.
The singer-songwriter signed his contract in the presence of Artist and Repertoire Manager and in-house producer Kedy Sanchez and Artist & Repertoire Officer and in-house producer Paulo Agudelo.
"Una po sa lahat nagpapasalamat po muna ako kay God sa ibinigay niya pong opportunity na ito. Sobrang nagpapasalamat po ako at masayang-masaya po ako dahil kinuha po ako ng GMA Music. Maraming salamat po GMA Music sa tiwala po, sa ipinagkaloob ninyong pagkakataon. Masaya po ako dahil sa inyo po ako napunta at matutupad na po 'yung mga plano namin ni dad bago pa po siya mawala na makabalik po ulit ako sa music," JC shared.
He continued, "Sobrang saya ko po dahil talagang unang pinag-usapan po namin ni daddy dati na... kasi nasa U.S. na po ako nung time na 'yun and nag-stop na po ako sa pagkanta, tapos sabi sa akin ng daddy ko po, 'Anak bumalik ka ulit dito, ipagpatuloy mo 'yung pagkanta mo tapos talagang nag-name drop po siya, 'Kausapin mo si Sir Kedy.' Tapos nagkausap po kami ni Sir Kedy."
JC has been writing songs for many years now. He recently wrote a song as a tribute to his father, who passed away two years ago, and decided to release the track through the Kapuso record label.
Asked what his late father would say now that he has returned to the music industry, JC couldn't help but be emotional as he answered, "Siguro po ang sasabihin niya po sa akin, 'Anak, I'm so proud of you.' Kasi iyon po talaga 'yung huling pinag-usapan namin na pangarap n'ya po sa akin na bumalik sa musika.”
"Gusto ko po talagang bumalik sa musika para kay daddy at para na rin po sa sarili ko," aniya.
According to JC, music has always been his passion and the source of his bonding with his dad, who taught him to sing and write songs.
