It should be noted that one
of AJ’s major musical influences is Gary Valenciano whom he recently performed
with live on ASAP 2012 when he was formally introduced to the mainstream
Filipino music-loving market. AJ also took notice of Gabriel Valenciano’s and
Kiana Valenciano’s cover version of Chris Brown’s “Yeah Yeah Yeah.” AJ saw
their performance on YouTube and liked it and corresponded with Kiana via
Twitter. Today, AJ finished collaborating with Kiana as they recorded a song
with Gab as the producer.

Alongside the tour and
through a partnership with PhilDev, AJ has adopted the CRIBS Foundation, a welfare
institution committed to the care and recovery of abandoned and abused children
in the Philippines. Proceeds from red roses at the Manila concert will go to
CRIBS. AJ, during his trip is exploring additional ways to give back to the
Philippines. AJ and his team are in discussions with the Ninoy and Cory Aquino
Foundation on how to partner for future advocacy and campaigns.
“We are excited to have AJ
Rafael perform for the first time for his fans in the Philippines, Southeast
Asia and return once again to Australia, where they have been long time
supporters of AJ. We are grateful for the opportunity to bring AJ’s music here.
More importantly we are fortunate to have great partners to help us introduce
non-profit organizations who need assistance in the Philippines. This first
visit marks beginnings and new opportunities for many,” says Christina Luna, AJ
Rafael’s manager.
AJ’s show in Manila happens
at the Music Museum on Jan. 18.
