MMG Set To Release Original RUN TO YOU Single This 4th of July!

Mark Michael Garcia is turning a new leaf in his career. The very talented man who won "Tawag ng Tanghalan" as the Ultimate Resbaker a few years ago literally got stuck in limbo when the pandemic happened just when he was about to lay plans for his career and music. This year, he's sporting a new moniker as "MMG", which makes sense as it feels more catchy and current. Aside from that, he just got the nod of composer songwriter Allan Rich who did Whitney Houston's "Run To You" single for the movie "The Bodyguard". Together with Jud Friedman, they gifted him the rights to release the actual original song this 4th of July in streaming platforms worldwide. They caught him performing his James Ingram medley on the internet and was impressed, they got in touch and yes, the rest is history! 

We heard him a few days ago and by any standards, he's magnificent! Together with the single release, he's going to have a concert entitled CODE NAME: MMG which will happen on August 2 at the Samsung Music Hall in SM Aura BGC. He promises to perform new songs and covers that you might not have heard before. This is produced by Chef Jeng Sy Flores who also owns Heavenly Desserts by Chef Jeng and District One Gastrolounge in BGC. 

Here's what happened at the press conference 

 

Tomorrow, please tune in to Cornerstone Entertainment's channels as this heavily awaited single will be shown there. 

I'll update this post with the actual RUN TO YOU (alternative version) so you could witness his great work. By the way, he won a Best Male Vocalist award in the US, and some talk of him joining THE VOICE USA is also in the works. I'm sure he's going to blow the competition away!

Congratulations MMG!

Champions RESBAK This Week on It’s Showtime

It’s Sunday but I chose to go to ABSCBN for a reveal of what’s about to happen this week in Tawag ng Tanghalan, Showtime’s segment where the greatest singers across the land battle for supremacy. In fact this time, they’re taking several contestants, semi and grand finalists from Season 1, 2, 3 and Celebrity edition and put them all together in one competition called TNT ALL STAR GRAND RESBAK. The format of which will be the same as the resbak editions of the same contest.

I got to do a live stream of it earlier so instead of explaining things, let me get you in the action earlier. This includes Matmat Centeno and Marlo Mortel so listen in!

The competition will start on Monday so make sure you watch how champions battle it out with champions of another season, plus your favorite celebrities/pro singers do what they love best which is singing. This is not a drill. They already have drawn lots and will be pitted against each other randomly.

Don’t say we didn’t warn you!
