Ruben Soriquez returns to first love

Actor and director Ruben Soriquez is reviving his music career which, according to him, is his first love.

Let's Travel Together is his second single, this time in Tagalog. It will be released this August 30 on Spotify, iTunes, YouTube, Amazon and other platforms, together with its music video.

“I composed the music myself back in 2000 while I was the frontman of the Italian band No Smoking, but the final Tagalog lyrics were only made this year. I decided to sing it in Tagalog to pay tribute to a country that has given me so much,” Soriquez.

“It's an inspirational song about finding your own way in life no matter how difficult it might be and to pursue one's dream until it materializes. It's a pop song and a feel-good song. It's in Tagalog except for a part in the refrain that is in Tagalog and English.”

Soriquez revealed it is one of his dreams to perform on stage again, like he used to in his 20's.

“I miss the close contact with an audience, that only a live show can give you with direct feedback on your performance.”

Before becoming an actor, director, and a movie producer, Soriquez started in the entertainment industry as a musician.

“I released a full album with my band Stranafonia in 1997 and a second with the band No Smoking in 2003. Then I stopped and I just kept playing at home for myself.

Today, Soriquez wants to pursue his love for music and acting simultaneously.

“I am still active on the acting side. Two feature films where I play the lead role are currently in post production and I am guesting in Richard Gutierrez's TV series 'The Iron Heart.'

“But I am planning to devote more time to my music career now. I am putting a band in Rome since I am planning to perform live in Europe and the US, which is my new dream,” the artist ended.

Soriquez's music are available at Spotify, YouTube Music and Apple Music.
