MANILA, Philippines — Singer Erik Santos acknowledges that he and his contemporaries will have a harder time becoming icons compared with their predecessors.
“In the ‘80s especially, a single is played on radio for as long as two years kaya its singer stays in people’s mind. These days, three months pa lang ay pinapalitan na ang single,” he noted during the press conference for his concert at the Music Museum on <sAug. 13 and 18 (correction note: Aug 12 and 13) titled “PowER IKons.”

MANILA, Philippines – Erik Santos has set a goal of holding one concert a year as he approaches the first decade of his music career. Despite his awareness of the current concert climate’s favoritism toward foreign artists, he hopes to meet this goal by producing his own shows via his Core Events company.
Naghahanda na ngayon ang Pop Prince na si Erik Santos para sa nalalapit niyang major concert sa darating na Aug. 12 and 13. Gaganapin ang two-night show sa Music Museum kung saan makakasama ni Erik sina Angeline Quinto, Miss Saigon (Germany) Stephanie Reese, G-Force dancers, at ang Concert Queen na si Pops Fernandez.
IS ERIK SANTOS now playing beautiful music with “Star Power” winner Angeline Quinto? “No, biro-biro lang yun,” he says. “Lalo na when we guested sa show ni Ate Kris Aquino, tinutukso’t mina-match kaming dalawa. But pareho kami ni Angeline na career ang focus. But we’re friends. In September, we’ll go together to Europe to do a six-city tour for TFC.”
