  Robin Nievera said the song that most describes his hosting style is "Crazy" by Seal.   "Because the chorus is, "We're never gonna survive unless we are a little crazy," which I totally agree with," he said.

But even so, Robin said he doesn't expect to win.

"No way. I didn't even expect to get in. Yeah, when they called me, I was like 'Really? That's nice.'"

WAGYU. Wagyu, a name that sounds like the name for a Korean beef dish, was not named "after the beef." "We're just being silly!" laughed Robin.

He added, "We have no specific genre for it. It is rock, it is indie rock. Some people say alternative, some people say prog, progressive. I call it indie rock."

Robin said he does not sound like his parents when he sings. "When it's Wagyu, I sound like...I don't even know. People say I kinda sound like John Mayer; I disagree with that. But I don't really know."

But he gets singing lessons from his parents every so often.

"There are times when we're in the car, in the States, I'll play a song, and he'll say, 'This is how you sing.' So I get free lessons from my mom and my dad. You don't get that every day, so I take what I can get."

NO ACTING. Showbiz for Robin should stop at music. He is not planning to be an actor; he just wants to make people laugh by being a "goofball" in front of the camera.

"I don't like memorizing lines. I can't cry on the spot. I just want to make people laugh. I'm really kulit. I look like I'm always on a standstill but I'm really kulit on the camera," he said.

Why comedy?

"Because I'm a goofball. I can't be quiet for very long. My humor is not like my dad, who's very energetic. I tend to be quiet and say something out of nowhere and it's really funny. My humor is at the right time, the right place."

Robin said he got his humor from his parents. "Mom is the sarcastic witty one, my dad is the timing."

Having great potential for hosting does not mean Robin is closing  doors to any other venture though.

"I don't know. For me anything goes. Whatever I get," he said.
