“Prince of the New OPM” Timmy Pavino tours U.S.A. & Canada

Vancouver, B.C. — There is no stopping to attaining superstardom (yes, read this writer’s lips: this young lad will become the next big thing!) for this dashing baritone heartthrob. Timmy Pavino’s name was an overnight household sensation when he became top 8 finalist at ABS-CBN’s The Voice of The Philippines (TVOP) Season 2, under Team Lea (Salonga). With his voice as smooth as silk, Timmy’s take on various covers, both OPM and international billboard ditties, has etched versatility without losing his vocal identity as  premier pop balladeer. He takes no qualms about being compared to other TVOP Season 2 co-alumni Jason Dy (grand prize winner), Daryl Ong, etc. who are being branded as pop R&B sensations. Timmy takes so much pride and joy in sharing his own gift of music without competing or comparing himself to anyone. For him, there is always room for everyone to excel in. He’s always grounded and generous with praises for other young artists. Such a rare trait in this time and age.

Timmy or “Tim” undeniably continues to shine in Philippine radio/television and high profile live music concerts. When “Mr. Energy” superstar himself, Gary Valenciano, mounted a 2-night major concerts entitled “Gary V Presents” at the Kia Theatre earlier this month, Timmy was amongst Gary V’s specially handpicked co-performers. “Performing with Tito Gary on one stage was my ultimate lifelong aspiration ever since I started performing as a young kid. It was a dream come true for me and I’m forever grateful to him and to Tita Angeli (née Pangilinan, Gary V’s wife) for allowing me the rare opportunity. It was one magical, unforgettable moment of my life that I will never forget”, Timmy gushed all over his social media accounts.

Another significant feather to his cap was performing alongside a stellar cast of seasoned artists (Gary V, Kyla, Janno Gibbs, Jaya, etc.) at “Instant Concert 3 in 1 — Mga Awit Nila De Pano, Marcelo at Simon” at the Music Museum on July 14, 2016. These are 3 highly acclaimed contemporary inspirational songwriters — N. Arnel de Pano (Lead Me, Lord; Lipad Ng Pangarap, etc.), Urban Music/PhilPop 2013 Awardee Jungee Marcelo (Bespren, Say Yahweh, etc.) and Elzar “Dodjie” Simon of Papuri Song Festival fame. De Pano gave a touching introduction to Timmy before performing, “Lipad Ng Pangarap”. A song De Pano penned in honor of all Filipino household helpers working overseas to support their families back home. Timmy has already sung that song many times before. But performing it all over again at the concert has given him deeper connection to the meaning of the song.

Currently touted as “Prince of the New OPM”, Timmy is managed by Stages Production Specialists and under StarMusic recording label. His first self-titled album has just been released and he will be touring Canada and the USA to promote it starting July 24 (Chapel of St. Mary, Portland, OR), July 30 (Meydenbauer, Bellevue WA), August 4 (Burnaby BC), August 6 (Mississauga ON) and August 7 (Victoria BC).
