The dreamer has to show persistence, passion, and patience.
It's safe to say that Sofronio Vasquez, a Pinoy and Mindanaoan, has taken that to heart.
It could be attributed to his successful participation in the recently-concluded season 26 of "The Voice USA" and to his eventual and convincing win.
Just like most Pinoys who have dreamed of a singing and recording career, Sofronio, now a Utica, New York resident, had to start somewhere, such as joining a local or national singing contest.
He displayed his talent in the "Tawag ng Tanghalan" ("TNT") segment of the Kapamilya noontime show, "It's Showtime," going through the daily rounds and getting constructive comments from the hurados or judges.
Sofronio also participated in the "TNT All Star Grand Resbak" as a contender and a grand finalist, where he gave his own rendition of Feeling Good. Yes, his "The Voice" USA coach Michael Bublé also had a recording and a cover of such a song.
There, he showcased his versatility by performing English and Filipino tunes.
Two years ago, he moved to the US with the initial plans to pursue dentistry, but he couldn't resist the call of singing, according to available online reports.
With that, he tried his hand again at joining a singing contest, which is "The Voice" USA.
