Love makes Liezel Garcia a better singer
Liezel Garcia, who admitted she and fellow singer Bugoy Drilon are in a relationship, shared that being in the same profession has more pluses than minuses.
“Ang advantages kasi nakakapagturuan kami, nagpupunaan kami, nagsasabihan kami ng what to improve. Ang disadvantages yung mga ibang tao pinapagcompare kami, like ‘Si ganyan mas magaling, mas okay.’ Pero mas more on advantages sa relationship namin,” Liezel said in a pocket interview at the launch of her self-titled debut album under Star Records.
She thinks love makes her a better singer..
“Malaki ang difference(kapag in-love). Kapag nagpeperform ako, mararamdaman ng mga tao iyon kapag masaya ka. Mas okay magperform kung masaya ka kasi na-aappreciate ng mga tao.”
Liezel dismissed rivalry issues between her and her first boyfriend.
“Siguro kasi friends naman kami from the very start, so wala namang inggitan,” she said.
How it started
Liezel and Bugoy’s friendship blossomed in “Pinoy Dream Academy.” After that they always sang together in TV guestings and mall shows.
It’s just been a year since they started their relationship and Liezel says that too early for them to get married.
“Trabaho muna, tsaka family, kasi kailangan pa naming mag-ipon, tumulong sa family. Siya kasi nagpapatayo ng bahay sa province (nila). Ako medyo tapos na magpatayo ng house sa Puerto Galera kasi katulong ko naman si Kuya.”
Liezel has been singing teleserye themes regularly. She is thankful for the opportunity since people remember her for these songs even though she doesn’t have a regular TV show.
“Super blessing iyan sa akin at thankful kasi kahit papaano natatandaan pa rin ako ng mga tao. Naririnig nila yung boses ko, nakikita nila yung name ko sa screen kapag pinapatugtog yung song, so malaking tulong iyon sa akin.”
Like other singers, Liezel tried acting via the defunct TV show “Wako Wako.” But even if she loves acting, singing and promoting her album is tops on her list.
“Pwedeng pagsabayin yung acting and singing. Pero mas focused muna ako sa singing kasi wala pa namang offer (sa acting). Nagho-hope ako na maging successful talaga.”
Liezel’s nine-track album carries six teleserye themes: “Wag Ka Lang Mawawala” from “Walang Hanggan” (a duet with Bugoy); ‘Kung Ako’y Iiwan Mo”; “Bakit Pa”; “Gisingin ang Puso”; “PHR Presents’ “Lumayo Ka Man Sa Akin”; ‘Kristine’s “Di Ko Kayang Limutin”; and her carrier single “Ngayong Alam Ko Na.”
