The Clash Season 1 finalist and Kapuso Soul Balladeer Garrett Bolden recently won the New Male Recording Artist of the Year award at the recent 11th PMPC Star Awards for Music.
Garrett has years of singing experience to back him up. In fact, he can already be considered a veteran when it comes to reality singing competitions, having joined countless contests plus he also have a band which is why he is no longer considered a newbie when it comes to singing.
"I still can't believe that I won. Win or lose, I really wanted to attend the awards show as it was my first nomination from a major award-giving body. I wasn't really expecting to win," said Garrett, who rose to fame after competing in The Clash on GMA Network.
In his acceptance speech at the 11th PMPC Star Awards for Music, Garrett said the award was special because he has been joining singing contests and auditioning for years and this was his first major recognition.
Garrett launched his first ever single "Lilipad Na" in time for Valentine's Day last year 2019. According to the singer, the song talks about taking risks for the person you love. The music video is directed by comedian Philip Lazaro who revealed that he is a huge fan of the up-and-comer.
When asked about his musical influences, Garrett said his favorites growing up include Boyz II Men, Brian McKnight, Peabo Bryson, and the late James Ingram plus Jay Durias of South Border.
Garrett sung some sample songs during his Blogger's Conference.
In a radio interview, Garrett also shared that his supporters can look forward to new songs personally written by him.
