<p>Jason Dy took a trip back on memory lane and recalled his journey when he was still auditioning for various singing competitions to become a singer.</p><p>&quot;I auditioned for <em>Pilipinas Got Talent, X-Factor, The Voice </em>season 1. Lagi akong nare-reject noon. Maski sa mga mall screening pa lang, hindi ako nakakapasok,&quot; the singer revealed as reported by <em>Inquirer</em>.</p><p>Following the rejections, Jason vowed that <em>The Voice</em> season 2 would be his last attempt to enter a singing competition.</p><p>&quot;Kapag hindi pa rin ako makapasok sa competition na ito, hindi na ako mag-a-audition,&quot; he remarked.</p><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-6" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/CpLALdGy-3t/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fent-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A6%2C%22os%22%3A7372206.799999952%2C%22ls%22%3A6465899.699999809%2C%22le%22%3A6465903.399999857%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="722" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-6" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><p>Jason won second season of <em><strong></strong>The Voice<strong></strong></em> in 2013. &quot;Every time na naririnig ko ang intro kasi ‘di ba kababalik pa lang ng <em>The Voice</em>, kapag pinapanood ko siya, parang kinakabahan pa rin ako. Feeling ko magko-compete pa rin ako,” he confessed.</p><p>In his eight years in the industry, Jason shared the many learnings he gained throughout his journey.</p><p>&quot;Humility is important and also being kind to coworkers, ‘yung pakikisama not just to your fellow artists but also to the production staff. I’ve noticed that those who last long in the industry — our icons — are the ones who are easy to work with. They are professional so I always keep that in mind,&quot; he said as reported by <em>Philippine Star.</em></p><p>Recently, Jason signed with ABS-CBN&#x27;s Star Music which coincided with the release of his new single &quot;Ulit Ulit.&quot;</p><p>&quot;The song talks about that point in the relationship where the fights are getting repetitive. It’s just the same argument over and over and nothing gets resolved,” he shared.</p><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-7" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/CpUsgvtrjsw/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fent-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A7%2C%22os%22%3A7374054.299999952%2C%22ls%22%3A6465899.699999809%2C%22le%22%3A6465903.399999857%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="854" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-7" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><p>He added: &quot;It’s about whether the relationship is worth saving or it is heading towards the end.&quot;</p><p>On whom he wants to collaborate with in the future, Jason said that he wants to create a song with KZ Tandingan.</p><p>&quot;I’ve always wanted to work with her, like write something with her, probably a Bisaya (song), something like that,&quot; he said.<a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2020/5/23/fresh-scoops/watch-jason-dy-sings-filipino-version-of-thai-bl-27448"><strong></strong></a></p><div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2020/5/23/fresh-scoops/watch-jason-dy-sings-filipino-version-of-thai-bl-27448"><strong>READ: Jason Dy sings Filipino version of Thai BL series &#x27;2gether&#x27; OST</strong></a></div><p>After winning <em>The Voice</em>, Jason released his self-titled album <em>Jason Dy</em> in 2015.
