Energize. Elevate,” serves as a celebration of his second winning anniversary and his birthday.</p><p>Joining him at the concert are Tawag ng Tanghalan duets champion JM Dela Cerna and Marielle Montellano, Elvis Presley of Japan Douglas Masuda, and Joey San Andres.</p><p>During a press conference on Friday, Khimo shared some of his preparations for the upcoming concert.</p><p>“Ako po ngayon focused ako dito sa concert na &#x27;to and preparing-wise para akong sundalo ngayon na gumigising ng maaga to prepare, nag-aaral ng kanta. &#x27;Yun po same same Khimo pero times two na,” Khimo said.</p><p>According to Khimo, winning the grand title for the second season of &quot;Idol Philippines&quot; pushed him to take his music career to another level and establish a name in the industry.</p><p>“Siguro po after ng &#x27;Idol Philippines&#x27; I’m grateful na nangyari &#x27;yun and also I have to do something after nun and for me siguro dumaan siya parang I have to do something better kasi &#x27;yun nga sooner or later &#x27;yung title na &#x27;yun, it will fade away. &#x27;Yung matitira na lang is &#x27;yung pangalan mo and &#x27;yung mga current na accomplishments mo,” he said.</p><p>“Nangyari siya and na-experience ko siya and ang masasabi ko lang is naging phase ko siya, naging fuel ko rin siya at the same time na I&#x27;ll have to do something better every day and &#x27;yun naman talaga &#x27;yung parang essence ng pagiging performer. You have to do better everyday in order for you to make relevance sa maraming tao and to make people happy,” he added.</p><p>Khimo considers his father who is a former member of a band, and OPM artists like Basil Valdez, Martin Nievera, Ogie Alcasid, Janno Gibbs, and Gary Valenciano as his music influences.</p><p>“Talagang &#x27;yun po &#x27;yung nakalakihan kong tunog sa bahay and somehow naging influences ko din po sila and up until now dala ko pa rin po &#x27;yun. Siguro &#x27;yun &#x27;yung DNA na kinuha na nakikita nyo ngayon,” he said.</p><p>If given a chance, Khimo hopes to do a music collaboration with KZ Tandingan.</p><p>“Parang we have the same genre and same wavelength when it comes to performing,” he said.</p><p>Khimo also mentioned being open to acting offers in the future.</p><p>“Bago po ako nag-perform sa showbusiness, teatro po talaga ako nung college and siguro kung magiging kung gagawin ko &#x27;yung pag-arte siguro sa mga susunod na taon or next year, konting adjustment lang po pero siguro &#x27;di po ako mara-rattle if bibigyan ako ng offer. Kukunin at kukunin ko,” he said.</p><div><br/></div><div><strong>RELATED VIDEOS:</strong></div><div><span class="fr-video fr-deletable fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable" contenteditable="false" draggable="true"><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/nun_PbL21gw?&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe></span><br/></div><div><span class="fr-video fr-deletable fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable" contenteditable="false" draggable="true"><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/GY7zP8iCoWU?&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe></span><br/></div><div><span class="fr-video fr-deletable fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable" contenteditable="false" draggable="true"><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/BIsKknQ13SM?&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe></span><br/></div><div><br/></div>
