As he rides on his success, a stronger and edgier persona has taken shape with a special mission not only to make more music but more importantly to give back to the supportive industry that molded him as an artist.

Through this ambitious resolve and as a fan of taking on new challenges, Bamboo now sits on the famous red chair as one of the mentors in ABS-CBN’s nationwide talent search franchise The Voice of the Philippines. Alongside co-mentors Lea Salonga, Sarah Geronimo and Apple.De.Ap, he has taken yet another opportunity to prove his mastery of the craft and reach out to more talented individuals to help them hone their music and guide them towards a well-deserved chance to be recognized in the industry.
