Handa na ang baguhang singer na si MJ Ringor sa kumpetisyon sa recording scene, kahit pa sa kanyang mga ka-batch sa Star In A Million Season 1 na sina Erik Santos at Christian Bautista, na parehong singing stars na ngayon.
"Opo, kaya ko na pong humarap sa kanila. Hindi naman po sa nakikipagkumpitensya ako sa kanila. I'm doing this for self-fulfillment.
"Siguro po kung may kumpetisyon man, it's going to be a friendly one. Actually, given the chance gusto ko po silang maging kaibigan. I'm sure marami akong matutunan sa mga pinagdaanan nila sa music industry," pahayag ni MJ.
Nakausap ng PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) si MJ sa presscon at launching niya bilang newest recording artist at concert performer na ginanap kagabi, September 8, sa Hai restobar sa Fort Bonifacio Global City sa Taguig.
Ayon kay MJ, pareho raw sila ng pinagdaanan ni Erik na pagkatapos manalo sa weekly finals ay natalo sa monthly finals ng Star In A Million, ang singing search ng ABS-CBN. Pero nabigyan sila ng pagkakataon na bumalik sa pamamagitan ng wildcard competition, na napanalunan ni Erik hanggang sa umabot ito ng grand finals at tanghaling champion.
Bakit hindi niya itinuloy ang pagiging singer noon?
"Siyempre po, it's but natural na ang mas mabibigyan ng atensiyon at opportunities, yung nanalo, si Erik. Pati yung grand finalists like si Sheryn Regis and then si Christian nga," sagot ni MJ.
Dahil hindi raw naging successful ang first try niya sa music scene ay itinuon na lang ni MJ ang sarili sa kanyang pagiging industrial designer hanggang sa makapagpatayo siya ng sarili niyang negosyo, ang M2 Builders Design Concepts, na involved sa construction at interior design for two years na.
SECOND CHANCE. Pero sadyang nasa puso ni MJ ang pagkanta. Kaya naman nang muling kumatok ang oportunidad ay sinunggaban na ito ni MJ.
Habang kumakanta siya sa isang event ay nagkataong naghahanap ang beauty icon na si Fanny Serrano ng baguhang singer na kakanta ng theme song ng pelikula niyang Tarima, ang "Napapagod Din Ang Puso." Nang kausapin daw siya ni Fanny ay hindi na siya nagdalawang-isip na tanggapin ang offer na mag-audition.
"Noong una po kasi, dalawa kaming nag-audition. Akala ko yung girl version na ang makukuha. I didn't know na yung lalaking version yung makukuha, which is yung sa akin.
"Kasi that time, nung nag-record kami, that time ko lang napag-aralan yung song and the lyrics. So, ni-record kaagad.
"So, akala ko, wala na. Kaya kinalimutan ko na. Sabi ko sa sarili ko, 'Ano ba 'yan, pabalik-balik yung chances na ino-offer sa akin na kumanta.' Kaya minsan, mas mabuting huwag na lang mag-expect talaga."
Pero laking tuwa niya raw nang ang version niya ang napili. Malaki nga ang pasasalamat ni MJ kay Fanny.
"Malaki po ang utang na loob ko sa kanya, kasi isang Fanny Serrano po ang nag-offer sa akin. It's an honor po na ako yung napili nila. Very happy ako. Sabi ko, 'Wow, napunta sa akin. Ito ba ay senyales na papasok ulit ako sa larangan ng musika?'
"Siyempre, kay Direk Ronald (Carballo) po, thank you, kasi malaki rin ang itinutulong niya sa akin ngayon sa career ko."
Positibo raw na hinaharap ni MJ ang second chance niya sa music scene.
"Kasi po dumating na yung chance ko ulit. Siguro live life to the fullest bago ako tumanda. Ie-enjoy ko na po ito. Ayoko nang sayangin itong opportunity na ito, so go for gold."
Naniniwala ba siya na may tamang timing din ang pagpasok sa showbiz?
"Opo, naniniwala po ako," sagot ni MJ. "Kasama po ng dasal at pagpupursige. Kasi po kung hindi naman talaga para sa inyo, hindi rin ibibigay ni God. So, sabi nga, try and try lang po talaga until you succeed."
