“Well, you know, it's really funny because I never really expected it. But when the opportunity arrived, I was really excited because MYX is a household name in music sa Pilipinas,” Robbie told Metro.Style, adding that it was such a big privilege, especially since his love for music runs deep.

But being a VJ is more than just introducing songs or reading off a cue card. The fresh-faced artist quickly discovered the role goes deeper: building real connections with artists, fans, and the music itself—it’s all about standing as a bridge. Robbie joins MYX’s new gen roster of VJs, which also includes Ameera “Eya“ Almamari, Ella Regudo, Kring Prologo, Ozzie Llige, Jarren Garcia, and longtime VJ Samm Alvero.

“You're part of the production team. You're part of the artist team. And while listening to all of the music and being around this, you're a fan. Sa lahat ng elemento ng music, parang kasakop ka du’n eh,” stated Robbie.

“We’re in the luckiest position in the music industry because we get to do all of those things with everyone. Parang feeling ko, bilang isang VJ, nasa gitna kami ng lahat as viewers. And when we host, we're just guides. We facilitate and we don't have to steal any spotlight, but we get to enjoy and immerse ourselves in the environment to its fullest extent,” he added.

The newest Kapamilya learned that his charm and love for music could only get him so far. To truly step into the spotlight, Robbie knew that he needed to polish his skills. Thankfully, he got just that from seasoned MYX mentors like Ai dela Cruz and Robi Domingo, who gave him more than just pep talks.

“They were kind enough to offer me some pointers. Nag-workshop kami, nag-session kami. They criticized me sa mga [weakness] ko in terms of hosting,” he shared.

From hosting small gigs to tackling larger productions, Robbie grew into the role with each mic check, stating, “I guess little by little, [with] the practice that MYX provided from hosting nu’ng una from smaller gigs to larger and larger, now I feel confident in my hosting skills and I know I have a lot more to improve on and I'm looking forward to getting better.”

Robbie describes big events like concerts and music festivals as the ultimate test. “I think those are the hardest for me kasi ‘yun ‘yung pinakamaraming ginagawa ‘yung host,” he admitted, yet noting that the thrill of it was also the most exciting part.

Music has never been a fuss for Robbie as he grew up on a diet of Filipino greats: Apo Hiking Society, Eraserheads, Up Dharma Down, Moira, and Gloc-9. Even now, he holds “Awit ng Barkada” as his all-time favorite: “It's nice kasi it’s a reminder during any challenges and tough times na lagi ko ito sinasabi, ‘yung pagiging masaya ay desisyon, hindi sitwasyon. So, it's a reminder of that. And that's why I love that song.”

Today, he stays in tune with the new generation of artists—Arthur Nery and TJ Monterde, among the locals.

While Robbie has already brushed shoulders with idols (including a fist bump with Al James at the MYX Music Awards that he still counts as a personal highlight), he’s not done dreaming. The interviews he still hopes to land? “I'd love to interview Gloc-9 because I want to ask him about the stories sa mga kanta niya.”

Robbie also lights up talking about having solo interviews with the P-Pop groups BINI and BGYO: “My dream is to interview BINI and BGYO—each solo para I can get to know and ask them each question individually because I've interviewed them as a group.”

He also has his eye on indie bands like Nameless Kids and Over October. “There are too many, but let's leave it at that first,” he quipped. This deep connection to Filipino music makes him a natural fit at MYX, a platform that lives and breathes OPM.

As for what he wants the fans to know, Robbie left a message, saying, “I hope all the fans in MYX—you guys can support, help us grow. Kung hindi dahil sa suporta niyo, wala si MYX. And at the end of the day, we want to give our best to you, guys. So that you can see how beautiful and amazing the Filipino culture of music truly is up to this day. It's only growing and we should all be a part of it,” he meaningfully concluded.
