The show landmarks Nonoy’s commitment to seriously support fresh talents in the music industry. It’s his pay-it-forward thing for his 45 years as a singer of much-loved songs.

Nonoy Zuñiga’s singing career spans more than 3 decades, as a folk singer from 1971 to 1975 and then as one of the lead singers of the Family Birth Control Band which performed in venues like Philippine Plaza, Holiday Inn, and the Manila Hotel from 1975 – 1980. All his performances in the United States from 1983 to the present are well-acclaimed. He has also performed in various countries such as Australia, Japan, South Korea, China and New Zealand.
