I didn't realize this but if I was really determined in my past and stuck to one goal, I could probably be somebody by now. With that said, I just found out that one of my closest friends in the phil has recorded is own cd! I knew this guy would go places and now it has been proven. God I miss those days, days of the voltes 5 of sta. lucia, days at the beach, days jet skiing, days in baguio!, days at the carnival, days at the club just swimming and eating, days when 5 families bonded and had the greatest time together. Sleepovers, freak outs with ouija boards (which I did not partake in), chillin at tara's house, dinners, tagaytay. We did it all! and now we're all separated. Glad to know that one of us has achieved success!! .... best of luck GELO!

and here's a review:
Galaxy Records presents the Philippines’ first New Age artist of this generation. Angelo Ortiz, a 21-year-old instrumental pianist, took his classical training from such schools as the Trebel Piano Studio, Yamaha Music Studio, Greenhills Music Studio and at University of the Philippines Extension Program for piano. The numerous recitals he joined frequently featured him as the finale.
In 2002, Angelo decided to play professionally, getting regular gigs at The Podium and Cravings Katipunan, as well as at the opening of the newly refurbished SM Makati.
Inspired by the music of Jim Chapell, Jim Brickman, Yanni and David Lanz, Angelo recorded his debut entitled SERENITY.
The album contains pieces that range from the slow haunting melody of “Dawn” to the sexy, romantic serenade of “Endearment”. The album also contains the poignant “Once upon a Love”, the uplifting and light “A New Hope” and “Tears in the Ocean”, which is a tribute to the victims of the recent tsunami disaster in 11 Asian countries.
The prolific pianist now adds “New Age Christmas Bliss” to his body of works. The album is a collection of classic Christmas melodies all arranged by Angelo. Elegantly rendered carols like “Christmas Song” and “Angels We Have Heard on High” is sure to inspire Christmas spirit in everyone.
