Congrats to the NEW MYX VJ's Julz, Ton and Robin
|
MYX, the number one music channel in the Philippines, finally revealed the
winners of the MYX VJ Search 2010! Among the 12 finalists, 18-year-old
red-haired college student Julz Savard; 21-year-old pretty boy rocker Ton
Vergel De Dios and 21-year old musician Robin Nievera were chosen as the
newest music ambassadors of MYX. The new VJs were awarded with ‘Beats by
Dr. Dre’ headphones; shopping spree at SM SCubed accessories; gift
certificates from Folded and Hung and Jellybean and the much coveted
six-month contract with MYX.
Described as a “diverse combination,” MYX Channel Head Andre Allan Alvarez
shared excitement over the new things that the winners of this year’s MYX
VJ Search will bring to the channel. “The three make a good combination.
They have very distinct personalities and different types of sense of
humor. But they’re all musically inclined.”
Alvarez added that Julz, Ton and Robin are those VJs that the viewers can
easily relate to. “Ton is a musician and a fan of MYX ever since he was a
kid. And I think he brings the point of view of the typical MYX
fan/viewer. So, we're hoping that the fans watching in TV can easily
connect with Ton. Julz brings a lot of spunk. Her in-your-face attitude is
something that a lot of boys and girls can easily identify with and she’s
able to project it in a way that looks classy and intense. Robin has a very
unique stance. His personality is quite different from the others. His
sharp wit and deadpan humor will add something new for our viewers. They
really make a very interesting bunch! We’ve never had this kind of
combination before. And I think everyone will be bringing something that’s
unique.”
In an exclusive backstage interview, fresh from their success, the three
MYX VJ Search 2010 winners impart their thoughts about their newfound
stardom. And Julz, Ton and Robin were in unison in saying that winning the
MYX VJ Search was a dream come true.
Julz, the red-haired creative writing student from the Ateneo de Manila
University revealed that she had been dreaming of becoming a VJ since she
was 14. “When I joined I was like telling myself, ‘This is it! It’s my
chance’ and now I got it! I’m really so happy! I think the public voted
for me because they just like the true me. The hair could’ve helped. But I
think it’s really the personality that I brought with everything else. Now
that I’m on MYX, they can expect a lot of laughter, a lot of joy, and a lot
of smiles to all the MYX viewers.”
As for Ton, the communication student who is also from Ateneo, he just want
to savor the moment. “This is something I really want. I’ve been a fan of
MYX since I was knee-high. And now that I’m officially part of it, I'm just
so thankful and excited. Now that I’m here, I’m gonna bring more attitude
and more rock ‘n roll in MYX!”
And for Robin, who’s into music production in De La Salle College of Saint
Benilde, he said that he will just going to give his all. “I’m gonna give
whatever I can give, which is my randomness and my dad’s wit and my mom’s
quick mouth whatever that means. To my supporters, thank you so much. You
have no idea how much this means to me. I’m gonna make it up by speaking in
Tagalog soon.”
When asked about the risk of being compared to his celebrity parents, Robin
quickly responded, “I know all of you guys will compare me to my parents.
People will say that I’m just their shadow. But this is not about shadows.
It’s not even about me following my dad. I really enjoy doing the music
scene: singing, writing and hosting. This is gonna be something that I
really wanna do.”
