Enzo Morales: En Route to Singing Stardom?

Despite being born into a family of music lovers, his parents spotted potential in him–as he began singing at the age of six or seven. During family gatherings, his singer-father would prod him to sing. 

According to Enzo Morales, now 28, “Singing is our brand of bonding whenever there’s a gathering in the house. At first, my dad and my mom pushed me to sing. I have two older sisters who sing as well. They also made an impact to pursue this passion of mine.”

Morales describes himself as an in-denial artist. 

Despite his doubts about his singing talent, he was already a choir member in his primary school from grade three to six at Nagcarlan Montessori Center. He continued singing in the choir during his third and fourth years in high school at St Mary’s Academy of Nagcarlan.

“I am a very shy type and joining different contests is not my thing. Don’t get me wrong I love music, but I’m just really shy. I’m not the type who frequently joins (kontesero) singing competitions.
