Edward's career is manage by award-winning stage actor and singer Arnold Reyes who was impressed not just by his looks, but by Edward’s vocal range— “at ‘yung boses niya, tunog imported”.He did blind audition on The Voice in June 2013 where he sang his own version of the Bruno Mars hit “It Will Rain”.
Edward has been working hard to prove just how serious he is. He’s been doing double-time on his vocals, spending countless hours listening to music and taking in the advice that he got from the coaches and other veteran musical artists like Garry V.
What Edward Benosa is looking forward to in 2016?
Based on how his 2015 turned out, singer Edward Benosa is looking forward to a really good year in 2016.
Here are some of the newest romantic balladeer Edward's achievements in 2015:
Edward's hit song “Di Man Lang Nagpaalam” which made it to the country’s top music charts.
Edward's hit song won for him a loyal following
He won two awards - one a Best New Artist trophy from the Star Awards for Music
Best New Artist trophy from the MOR Awards of radio station 101.9FM.
He sees these awards as an affirmation that he is in the right place, and that he should continue pushing forward with his career in 2016.
“Sa isang nagsisimula na tulad ko, o kahit sinong nagsisimula, mabigyan ka ng Best New Artist of the year, parang enough reason na ‘yon na ipagpatuloy mo itong ginagawa mo. Susundan na kailangan, ipagpatuloy ang sinimulan,” he says.
Edward’s goal is to sustain the momentum of his achievements in 2016. He wants to get into new things, maybe do a concert, record another album and even try more theater.
He is making the phrase “moving forward” his goal for next year. He is happy that groups like the Philippine Movie Press Club (which is behind the annual Star Awards for Music) and MOR 101.9 have seen his potential and by giving him awards and recognition, are encouraging him to do more with what he has.
“Siguro nakikita ‘yung potential ko to be this person na malaki pa yung pwede ko ma-achieve as a singer, sa craft ko, na-a-appreciate nila na ako ‘yung bago ngayon, as a pop rock balladeer.”
His manager, stage and screen actor Arnold Cruz Reyes, believes that Edward will go pretty far in 2016. When Edward won the awards in 2015, he was surprised but says things aren’t going to stop there.
There is much more for Edward to achieve in 2016.
Arnold says it is obvious that Edward, while a newbie singer and occasional actor, is meant to go places and encourages him only to work harder and pay attention to the advice of people who want to see him succeed even more next year. “Consistent naman kasi, na-nominate siya na Best New Artist of the Year. Nu’ng nangyari nga, sabi ko, ‘Uy nakakatuwa, napapansin tayo,” says Arnold, who’s hoping Edward will be able to build on his past achievements to have an even greater year in 2016.
Edward says that one way of ensuring a better year in 2016 is also to stay positive and not to mind the bashers and critics. Like when he won those two awards, there were people who didn’t think he deserved to win and asked: “Sino siya? Hindi namin siya kilala.”
He just wants to be positive going into 2016. Regardless of what people say, he will keep pressing forward. Even if there are critics, he says, he intends to see things constructively and make positivity his motto for next year.
He just wants to take everything in a positive light, criticism or not. He has a goal, and he knows what he has to do to get there. He will not let negative talk or criticism get in the way.
“Kung meron man mang-bash, okay pa rin ‘yon, at least napag-uusapan pa rin,” says Edward. “Hindi naman maiiwasan ‘yung gano’n, kaya sabi ko, i-positivize na lang.”
Edward has high hopes for 2016. He is excited about all the new things coming his way, and is eager to get things started.
“Ang daming bonus ni God para sa akin,” he says with a big smile. Edward is grateful for all the things that happened in 2015, and is looking to make an even bigger splash in 2016.
