A steady climb for Sam Concepcion

Singer-actor Sam Concepcion would rather wait patiently than suffer a career downfall by hurrying things up.

“I would prefer a steady climb na magtatagal ako, rather than a huge leap tapos mawawala rin,” Sam said at the  press conference of “I Do Bidoo Bidoo” on Thursday, August 23.

Sam is thankful for the projects he is getting and is focused on self-improvement.

“I’m after growth as an artist, as a person. So I feel blessed na sa mga ginagawa kong projects, naa-achieve ko yung goal ko.”

Sam hopes his performance in “I Do Bidoo Bidoo” will show his side as a multi-faceted artist.

“Kasi for some people out there, pag tinanong mo, ‘Kilala mo ba si Sam Concepcion?' 'Si Sam Concepcion, yung singer, yung sumasayaw. O kaya si Sam Concepcion, yung actor.’ I guess when they see this movie, mas makikilala nila kung sino si Sam Concepcion. Kasi pinagsama lahat dito, yung pagiging singer ko, dancer ko, at pagiging actor ko.”

Sam believes his career is “the best it’s ever been” and he’s headed towards the right direction.

“I just feel so thankful talaga na I’m given projects like this, of this quality. I’m given the chance to work with these people. Kasi what’s best is yung experience and yung mga taong nakakasama mo, that’s quality experience.”

Up next

Sam is looking forward to a new album and projects abroad.

“This album, parang transition ko rin na mapapakinggan ng mga tao na iba na yung sound ko, yung music ko. At saka yung label ko, yung Universal, they’re sending me out in Asia, like Indonesia. I already have some projects set there, an album coming out to be released there, a TV series, and I also might do a movie there.”

The “Angelito” mainstay also wants to show that he can shine alongside big artists like “I Do Bidoo Bidoo” co-stars Gary Valenciano, Zsa Zsa Padilla, Ogie Alcasid and Eugene Domingo.

“I want to prove to myself and to everybody na hindi sila nagkamali sa pagkuha nila sa akin. Not everyone gets this kind of opportunity. So, what really drove me and what really pushed me, the driving force for me in this movie is gusto ko talagang I want to live up to the expectations nila sa akin.”
