    Bamboo Mañalac, who is popularly known by his first name, is a legendary singer-songwriter best known for his powerful vocals. The musician kicked off his career as the vocalist and frontman of the alt rock band Rivermaya. He left the group and then formed his own band, Bamboo. After the eponymous group disbanded, the icon has been on a solo journey. His albums include 2012’s ‘No Water, No Moon’ and 2015’s ‘Bless This Mess’. The 45-year-old rocker has also been a coach for ‘The Voice Kids Philippines’ since 2014. Talking to Gulf News in 2012, Bamboo responded to a question about what sets him apart from other Filipino singers. “I never saw it as a competition, but we all do want to stand out — have a real voice, so I think it’s all about the work you put in even before you get on stage or in the studio and people can spot a phony when they see it or hear it,” he said. “I’ve been given a life where I get to do what I love on a daily basis so I carry that with utmost humility and respect for my craft and I also carry that giant chip on my shoulder showing them what we [Filipinos] are made of.” Image Credit: instagram.com/bamboomuzaklive/
