Sofronio Vasquez, the Season 26 winner of “The Voice USA,” is making waves in the music industry as he sets his sights on officially covering the song that propelled him to the semi-finals of the competition. The talented singer recently signed with talent label Star Magic for representation in the Philippines, marking a significant milestone in his career. The signing took place at the “It’s Showtime” studio, where Vasquez initially caught the attention of the nation during a segment of “Tawag ng Tanghalan.”
With a solid management team by his side, Vasquez is now gearing up to not only continue performing but also to release his own music. When asked about the song he would like to cover as an official release, Vasquez revealed that fans have been eager for him to cover Roy Orbison’s classic tune, “Crying,” which he delivered a memorable performance of during the playoff rounds of “The Voice.”
It was Vasquez’s rendition of “Crying” that secured his spot in the live shows, starting with the semi-finals. During his journey on the show, he showcased his versatility by performing iconic songs such as Elvis Presley’s “If I Can Dream” and The Police’s “Every Breath You Take,” the latter in a duet with fellow semi-finalist Jeremy Beloate. Both Vasquez and Beloate advanced to the finals, thanks to the overwhelming support of the public.
In the finals, Vasquez continued to impress with his powerful vocals, delivering standout performances of Sia’s “Unstoppable,” “A Million Dreams” from “The Greatest Showman,” and a duet of “Who’s Lovin’ You” with his coach, Michael Buble. Despite his success on the show, Vasquez revealed that he has been holding off on performing “Crying” in other shows, as he wants to make sure he does justice to the song that has resonated with so many fans.
Vasquez’s victory on “The Voice USA” holds special significance as he is not only the first foreign male winner but also the first Filipino to clinch the title. His win also marks him as the second winner of Asian descent in the history of the competition, solidifying his status as a trailblazer in the music industry.
As Vasquez continues to make his mark in the music world, fans can expect to see more of his incredible talent and passion for music. With his unique voice and undeniable charisma, Vasquez is set to captivate audiences both in the Philippines and beyond.
