They first made waves in 2011 as the viral dancing sensation Hey Ya.</p><p>In recent years, they have performed with Philippine artists like Dingdong Avanzado, Jessa Zaragoza, and Gigi de Lana. Shortly before their stint on &quot;The Voice,&quot; they opened for Odette Quesada’s &quot;All Hits&quot; concert tour.</p><p>&quot;It all felt so fast honestly, the performances we did. We&#x27;re just so so honored to be part of such a big production, shows like &#x27;Revelation&#x27; and Odette and Gigi de Lana because they’re such amazing Filipino icons that we look up to. And being able to step next to them and sing along side their performance is so so amazing we couldn’t be anymore grateful. We&#x27;re just really really thankful,&quot; Jeremy said.</p><p>This month they graduated from Mills High School, where they also performed during the commencement ceremonies.</p><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-4" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/C7sy_43NfjT/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fnews-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A4%2C%22os%22%3A772158.5%2C%22ls%22%3A620005.1999998093%2C%22le%22%3A620296.7999999523%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="664" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-4" 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>They now look to share their talents at more events and one of the biggest stops will be on August 3 as they will take the stage for &quot;ASAP Natin &#x27;To&quot; in Ontario, California.</p><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-6" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/C7fGOfYSqnU/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fnews-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A6%2C%22os%22%3A827712.899999857%2C%22ls%22%3A620005.1999998093%2C%22le%22%3A620296.7999999523%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="718" 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>It’s a full circle moment for the twins as their parents, Choy and Nina Garcia, are former TFC North American employees.</p><p>&quot;Watching TFC growing up is really so surreal. We&#x27;re able to be on the stage with them especially at such a young age just being able to be next to people we grew up looking up to people like Gary V, Darren. They’re people we looked up to as Filipino representation. We are so so honored we’re able to be part of that group, and look up to our Filipino culture. We’re just so grateful we still can’t believe we’re able to have this experience and we’re just going to cherish this as much as we can,&quot; Jeremy said.</p><p>And no matter which stage they’re taking, they hope to bring the sounds of Pinoy pride.</p><p>&quot;We just love representing our Filipino culture and you know being both Filipino-American we love to represent the Filipino in America and that doesn’t happen often. We love to share our story and hopefully that inspires others to strive for their dream. We just love our Filipino community and we couldn’t have done it without all of their support,&quot; Justin said.</p><p>While the Garcia twins count down their return to Southern California for &quot;ASAP,&quot;  they plan on releasing original music soon.</p><div><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/2024/5/13/-asap-natin-to-returns-to-california-in-august-2242" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">ASAP Natin &#x27;To&#x27; returns to Southern California in August</a></div><div><strong>Related videos:</strong></div><div><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=msecYIN9DNg" id="isPasted">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=msecYIN9DNg</a></div><div><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IuQhD4yTsm0" id="isPasted">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IuQhD4yTsm0</a></div>
