Gary V. on Higher Ground
at The Music Museum
Gary V. opens the summer season with a series of 8 sizzling hot concerts at the Music Museum, marking his 29th anniversary in the industry and also to celebrate the 25th year of his company Manila Genesis Entertainment and management Inc. Even though he is stricken with Type 1 juvenile diabetes for 30 years now, his relentless energy to perform and entertain his fans made him the one and only Mr. Pure Energy.
He has done it all from a singer, musician, songwriter, video producer, dancer, actor, musical arranger and a multi-awarded television host/perforer for 9 years on the top-rated musical variety show "ASAP".
After visiting typhoon victims in Cagayan De Oro and Iligan for UNICEF, Gary V jump started the year with a new segment on "ASAP 2012" entitled "With Love: Gary V." The segment features Gary as he showcases stories of love, forgiveness, redemption and faith while he sings songs that celebrate the beauty and goodness of humanity. All these efforts let led to "On Higher Ground", a fundraiser for UNICEF and Shining Light Foundation, two faithful partners dear to Gary V. who has been the National Ambassador for UNICEF for 14 years now.
Also a part of Gary is Coca-Cola with who whom he had a contract for over ten years. 2 years ago, he was tapped to launch their refreshing product, Real Leaf, and this year was invited again to record "Tuloy ang Happiness" the 100th Year official anthem of Coca-Cola with Sarah Geronimo and Someday Dream.
Expect Gary V. in his best element as he performs his greatest hits as well as some of today's hottest chart toppers, party anthems, and homegrown favorites. Fans can also expect groundbreaking and pioneering technology with excellent audio visuals through their corporate partners Videosonic and Soundcheck.
"I'm very excited and at the same time nervous because we have come up with new routines and a lot of surprises for this series," says Gary. "I am particularly excited for our opening production number. It will be awesome, I really hope it works the way I envisioned it." Gary V will be performing with 2 world-class musicians, Awit Awards 2008 Best Female/ Best New Female Singer Julianne and Juan Miguel Salvador, formerly of Rage Band and now the musical director of Authority, which represented the country in the 2005 Global Battle of the Bands in London.
