I arranged an acoustic rock version of "All Of Me" by John Legend, with a little string quartet accompaniment at the end. I know I covered this song really late compared to others, but better late than NEVER, right? 

This whole track was produced by myself. All the instruments, writing, drum programming, recording and playing of the saxophone, mixing, mastering, etc. were all done by yours truly!

Thank you guys and I hope you enjoy listening! :)

Whitney Houston left us too early, wouldn't you agree? This is my tribute to the famous, spectacular singer we all look up to! "Run To You" is one of many songs from the 1992 film titled The Bodyguard, which marks her debut in acting.

"Forevermore" tells a story of a person who expresses their undying love for someone they thought would never love them back, but happily turns out that their love isn't one-sided after all. A story of the classic lover who would do anything for their soul mate. This is an immensely popular song for weddings or any sort of romantic occasion, also being among one of OPM's finest songs ever produced, composed and performed by the country's most renowned band--Side A.

I hope you enjoy listening to my cover!

This is my all-time favorite Earth, Wind & Fire songs ever made. Aside from that, it was co-written by none other than David Foster, also among one of my favorite lyricists/composers/arrangers.

"After The Love Has Gone" details a love affair that eventually turns sour. Written in 1979 by David Foster, Jay Graydon and Bill Champlin, it's a soulful song filled with many close harmonies and a riveting horn section.

The melody is played on the alto saxophone, and the harmonies are played on the soprano saxophone. I hope you enjoy listening!

You Are So Beautiful To Me-Joe Cocker (Acoustic Cover)

This is, without a doubt, one of my favorite and most-played songs in my repertoire. I almost cannot perform at a gig or event without playing this song.

Composed by David Foster, this song's melody was written with Chaka in mind because he utterly believed that Chaka would be the one to perform it. Through the years, many have covered and did their take on this daring song, but few have surpassed the level that Chaka Khan sings it at. It is physically-demanding to perform, and requires a keen sense of pitch and an aggressive approach.

I hope you enjoy listening! Please continue to play and share my songs here on SoundCloud! :)

A beautiful melody amidst a solemn yet powerful instrumentation, "Kahit Kailan" ("Whenever" or "No Matter When") is a song detailing someone's never-ending love for another. The composer of this song is none other than Jay Durias, member of the hit pop/R&B band, South Border. 

I hope you enjoy listening!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Performed by Martina McBride and composed by Jim Brickman, "Valentine" is the perfect song to sing or play for your loved one on--you guessed it--Valentine's Day! The song is about one's undying love for another, "even if the sun refused to shine, even if romance ran out of rhyme."

I hope you enjoy listening!

"More Than Words" is a ballad written and performed by the rock band, Extreme. The song describes how some people say "I love you" with no meaningful feeling, and their actions definitely show that. A gorgeous melody with an equally exquisite harmony, I did not hesitate to make a cover of this. A relaxing song to play to calm your mood. 

Using my soprano saxophone, I recorded the melody with its accompanying second and/or third voice.

I hope you guys enjoy listening! :)

A gorgeous song with simple lyrics yet a wonderful melody. "You Are So Beautiful" stands out in the list of most romantic songs in music history. Covered by many artists such as Jessica Sanchez, Westlife, Babyface, Kenny Rogers and countless others, even more would agree that this is a song that will never die.

I hope you enjoy listening to my cover! :)

Another majestic, powerful song, "Just Once" encompasses the story of two lovers who just can't seem to get along, despite their love for each other. In my eyes, this song is a lyrical and musical masterpiece.

I hope you enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed playing this one. :)

Christina Perri's "A Thousand Years" is a heartfelt song depicting a lover's never-ending patience and gratitude for their special other.

Many have requested me to cover this song, and so I finally did! Sorry for the long wait! Every time I hear this song brings back memories.

I hope you enjoy listening to my saxophone cover! Please like and subscribe! Muchos gracias! :)

A groovy reggae song by Brownman Revival, "Binibini" depicts a woman so beautiful that the guy endlessly thinks about her. This song's original artist, however, is The Rainmakers way back in the 70's. "Binibini" is a Tagalog term for "miss" or "young lady," commonly used for Filipina beauty pageants. Speaking of which, it has been a secret dream of mine to be able to serenade at a beauty contest with this song.

I sequenced all the instruments (piano, electric guitar, percussion, etc.) in this arrangement myself. 

Anyways, I hope you enjoy listening to this classic OPM song. And please subscribe, like and comment this song! Thank you!
