Actor and singer Rex Smith, who is best known for the romantic hits, You Take My Breath Away, Simply Jessie, Everlasting Love, and more will hold a concert at the Winford Resort & Casino Manila this February 22 at 8 PM.
During the press conference for “Let’s Make a Memory With Rex Smith”, the former teen idol expressed his excitement in performing for his Filipino fans anew.
“The Philippines is the most musical nation in the world. It is.”, Smith said during the concert’s press conference. He added that it brings him joy that he has not only been accepted, but embraced by the country.
“There is nothing more exhilarating for an artist that’s almost a quarter of a century, I’m still here and (my music) still resonates with the Filipino nation,” Smith said.
The artist will be joined by Filipino singers JV Decena and Joaquin Garcia as guest performers.
“It’s such an honor to hold this event and have this event not just about sharing music, sharing joy, but also to make something good for the country,” said Winford Resort & Casino Manila president and COO Jeffrey Evora. Part of the proceeds of the concert will go to the advocacy projects of the event’s co-presenters, the Philippine Marketing Association (PMA) and the International Council for Small Business (ICSB).
“We are here to support good music. Music is best felt face-to-face, and this is one of he opportunities to feel that again,” said Eric Caeg, president of ICSB Philippines.
New PMA president Brian Sy Lato, meanwhile, shared that concert tourism is something that the Philippines should explore.
“The PMA is composed of marketing professionals, and I think concert tourism is also something that we can look into,” said Lato. He pointed out that the country can put up concerts that will attract foreign visitors.
