You may remember DK Tijam as a grand finalist in season 1 of Star In A Million, where it produced the likes of Erik Santos, Christian Bautista, and Sheryn Regis. He was just 16 years old then.
He is best known for his versions of “Run To You” and Ella Mae Saison’s “Til My Heartaches End”, which he recorded and released in 2003. With his raspy and soulful voice, he has been called the R&B heartthrob back then.
He also released a self-titled album under Star Records around the same time and suddenly left for Canada in 2006 leaving everything behind.
He has since been working as a barista and voice coach in Canada and has been constantly recording and sharing his covers on Soundcloud and other social media sites. This was his way of keeping in touch with his fans and the local music industry.
Fast forward to 2017, he is back in Manila for a homecoming show entitled Restart, 8 p.m. tomorrow at Teatrino in Greenhills, San Juan.
Aside from it being a homecoming show, it is also his first major concert since his Star In A Million days and many are asking if he is back for good to restart his career.
Joining him in are long-time friends Musica Cristobal, Tim Pavino, Froilan Canlas (“Tawag ng Tanghalan” grand finalist), Erik Santos and their fellow Star In A Million season 1 finalists and the R&B Princess, Kyla. Front acts include Soundcloud Philippines and Elements (DK’s voice students in Canada).
Restart is a concert 11 years in the making and hopefully this show would pave the way for a new beginning in DK’s singing career.
Tickets are available at all Ticketworld outlets, online at ticketworld.com.ph, call 891-9999 or at Teatrino.
