JUAN MINUTE: Enrique is the "King of the Gil"

Fresh from the success of She's The One, Enrique Gil is set to a bigger stage with one of his best asset as an artist, his dance moves. Dubbed as Philippine showbiz’s ‘Dougie King’ he is ready to conquer the Smart-Araneta Coliseum this November as he brings his own swag and delight his supporters at his first ever concert titled “King of the Gil.”

Enrique has also been in Kapamilya projects like "Princess and I" , "Muling Buksan ang Puso", MMK and  in several music videos with Kapamilya artists like Zia Quizon and Myrtle. He is also a YouTube hit for his dance moves especially  when he performed for the "I-Vice Ganda Mo Ako Concert".

In the recent BlogCon with Enrique, he confirms that half of his talent fee will be donated to the victims of the storm in Visayas. He also shares that dancing comes naturally when the music starts to play. He did not expect that his moves for "Teach Me How To Dougie" and "Gentleman" were dancing hits to many. And with a string of dance hits with his moves, this gave way for the album "King of the Gil" made by Star Records and a possible new album after the concert.
