The American singer described his brief stay here as "fun" and "exciting."
In such a short span of time, he finished a mini-serye with TV5, recorded an OPM album, and bagged an endorsement.
For the latter, he was launched as the new face of Bench Fix via a musical show held last Friday, February 14, at the Trinoma Activity Center.

"Thank you for making it here...This is the last time I'm performing in the Philippines...Thank you," said the 21-year-old singer, who wore a "Nandito Ako sa Bench" shirt.
