But this victory didn’t come overnight. Like every dreamer, Vasquez had a long road to his million dreams. In 2019, he joined It’s Showtime’s Tawag ng Tanghalan and placed third in the Tawag ng Tanghalan All-Star Grand Resbak. His journey also included appearances on The Voice Philippines, where he recalled a time when no chair turned for him, exactly ten years ago. “Sumali na ako sa The Voice Philippines, walang lumingon sa akin and ten years later, napasali ako sa The Voice America and naging four-chair turner ako,” he shared in an interview with ABS-CBN, reflecting on his incredible growth.
Vasquez’s journey to The Voice wasn’t just about competition—he initially moved to the U.S. to further his dental studies. While working as a dental assistant, his professor encouraged him to embrace his singing talent, leading to his discovery of The Voice virtual auditions. “I found out that there was a program offered for international dentists in America, so I moved here. I was already working as a dental assistant, and my professor told me, ‘you’re always singing.’ And randomly, I just happened to see a post: virtual auditions for The Voice, so I signed up. Now, I’m here. Everything was falling into place,” Vasquez told Vogue.
In addition to his $100,000 cash prize, Vasquez won a record deal with Universal Music Group. His fans can look forward to hearing more from him, from viral covers of classics like “That’s What Friends Are For” and “Nothing’s Gonna Change My Love for You” to original songs like “Bakit Hindi Ko Sinabi” (2020), “Bililhon” (2022), and “Mahalaga” (2022). Sofronio Vasquez’s journey is a true testament to perseverance, and he’s just getting started.
