Aeta's got talent





















I was surfing the net and looking for something entertaining, and a saw this on ABS-CBNNEWS.COM so I decided to share it in my blog. Credits goes to ABS-CBN NEWS.

Arjohn Gilbert, the young Aeta whose singing talent made him a YouTube sensation, hopes to follow the footsteps of his idol, international artist Allan Pineda a.k.a. apl.de.ap of the Black Eyed Peas.

Arjohn said he admires Pineda as a performer and a fellow Cabalen. Arjohn was born in Mabalacat, Pampanga while Pineda hails from Angeles.

"Kasi mabait po siya at marunong makisama sa kapwa niya. Magaling din po siyang performer at mapagbigay sa mga nangangailangan. 'Yan si apl.de.ap," he said in an interview with abs-cbnNEWS.com.

Arjohn met Pineda recently during the latter's visit at Sapang Bato National High School in Clark, Pampanga.

The Black Eyed Peas sensation has publicly stated that he wants to perform with Arjohn in the future.

Arjohn said he might see Pineda again in Naga this coming November 17.

The young Aeta sensation also said he would like to work with Journey's Arnel Pineda and Pinoy Dream Academy finalist Bugoy Drilon.

Viral Rookie award

Born on August 23, 1997, Arjohn was only 2 years old when his parents discovered his talent for singing. He is the 4th child of Mr. Johnny Gilbert and Rebecca Laxamana.

Arjohn first shot to fame when videos of his singing went viral on video-sharing website YouTube.

One video where Arjohn sang Justin Bieber's Baby, Bruno Mars' When I See Your Face and Mariah Carey's Angels Cry got 1,175,622 views as of this posting.
