<div> </div><div> </div>With his new song &quot;Para Na Muna,&quot; written by Joven Tan and released by Star Music, up-and-coming singer-actor Dwayne Garcia is more focused on his showbiz career than he is on pursuing a career in business.Garcia&#x27;s parents own a successful construction and beauty company, making him the only member of the family who enjoys entertainment.“I&#x27;ve wanted to be a singer and an actor since I was a child,” he said. “Passion ko po ito. Pinilit ko po sila nung bata ako. Sabi ko, ‘Mommy, gusto ko pong mag-workshop sa Star Magic.’ ‘Yung support po nila ang nag-help sa akin,” he added.While his parents encourage him to follow in their footsteps in business, they do not discourage him from entering the entertainment industry.“They always encourage and guide me. Suportado po nila ako,” he shared.<div> </div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1758845218508image0 (8).jpeg" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt="Dwayne Garcia talks about music.

Nakapag-workshop na rin po ako sa Star Magic. Gusto ko naman pong i-try ‘yung action. Mahilig po talaga ako sa action movies katulad ng FPJ movies. Napapanood ko po nung bata ako kasama ang lolo ko,” he stated.His current favorite actor is Elijah Canlas, whose performances have captured his attention. “Ina-idolize ko po si Elijah Canlas. Gusto ko po siyang makatrabaho. Natural na natural po siya,” he declared.Speaking to the press, Garcia praised Canlas&#x27; ability to portray complicated characters with nuances that topped it all.What&#x27;s next in his acting career? He responded, “Sa ngayon, may mga niluluto po kaming projects after ‘Outside de Familia.’”During the launch of his song “Para Na Muna,” Jonathan Manalo of Star Music was also present to express his support.<div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1758845370647image2 (5).jpeg" class="fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px" alt="Dwayne Garcia with Star Music executive Jonathan Manalo.

It&#x27;s also about pausing when things are going bad to examine what went wrong,” he explained.He added, “Maraming makaka-relate sa song na ito. Sana kapag pinakinggan nila, ma-realize nila na kailangan natin ng break. Kailangan po natin ng time to restore, repair. Hopefully, ma-LSS po sila.”Star Music&#x27;s &quot;Para Na Muna&quot; is now available on Spotify and other digital music platforms.
