They say that when something ends, something always begins. And for Billy Crawford, a lot will be beginning.<\/p>\n

Thirty-five-year-old Billy is facing new beginnings this 2018. Apart from Pilipinas Got Talent (PGT) getting a new season, Billy is having a new co-host, Toni Gonzaga. He is also looking forward to a new life by tying the knot with his fianc\u00e9e Colleen Garcia. But apart from these blessings so he speaks, Billy is also welcoming another new thing in his life.<\/p>\n

After 10 years of being with ALV Entertainment, the R&B star and host transferred under Viva Artists Agency (VAA) on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cAng pinagsamahan din namin ni<\/em>\u00a0(What) Arnold (and I had) is 10 years. He is very helpful and nice to me throughout my journey sa<\/em>\u00a0(in) ABS-[CBN] and outside ABS-[CBN] as well,\u201d Billy said in an interview with Push.<\/p>\n

\u201cActually, sa totoo lang, kami n<\/em>i Arnold (and I), we don\u2019t have a contract together. It\u2019s just verbal agreement,\u201d he added, emphasizing that there was no bad blood between them.<\/p>\n

For Billy, \u201cSiguro<\/em> (Maybe), for me it\u2019s a new beginning. Bago<\/em> eh (It is new) especially this year na ikakasal na ako <\/em>(that I will get married),\u201d Billy added.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a lot of changes in my life where I need to focus on my performance, my work, and also my albums, my songwriting, my production,\u201d he elaborated.<\/p>\n

Billy said that it will most likely triple his workload as Viva \u201cis wide and is global.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI figured that I needed something new. May kailangan akong baguhin kasi may bagong<\/em> I need to change something and this is a new chapter na nga sa buhay ko na mangyayari <\/em>(in my life that will happen). I\u2019m not getting any younger, I\u2019m 35 this year,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n

\u201cA lot of my friends are also from Viva. Nagkataon lang na, siguro the decision that I made was quite drastic, mabilisan<\/em> (quick),\u201d the It\u2019s Showtime host added.<\/p>\n

However, Billy stressed that none of his friends forced or influenced him to join Viva.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
