STAYING relevant as an artist in the ever-changing and ever-evolving entertainment industry can be difficult.
But veteran performer Gary Valenciano has managed to survive for almost four decades, thanks to his eagerness to constantly improve himself over the years.
“I think that it’s not a conscious effort really,” said Gary during a live interview with host G3 San Diego on Monday. “But I think it comes with the profession, which is like doctors who are constantly… You know, just because you’re a doctor, it doesn’t mean that that’s it. You have to continue to study because things change, and then you learn. And that’s what I’ve done.”
He gave credit to his children Paolo, Gab, and Kiana for being instrumental in how he is able to keep up with the times.
“I have three children, Paolo, Gab, and Kiana, and even Samantha (Paolo’s wife), who are all creative in their own right. And they are able to feed me with ideas, feed me with the dos and don’ts,” said Gary.
While he agrees that staying relevant in a constantly changing world is certainly a challenge, the 56-year-old singer said it’s a challenge he’s willing to take on anyhow.(Push)
