Perspective

Alejandro has released 3 solo albums (All I Can Give You - 1995/ Nocturnal - 2000/ Nino - 2004), featured in two movie soundtracks (Nagbibinata - 1998/ Pasko Sa Amin - 1998).

His first album "All I Can Give You" and its carrier single "I'll Be Your Friend" earned him an Awit Award (Filipino equivalent of a Grammy) for "Best Performance By A New Male Recording Artist". His second CD "Nocturnal" spawned "Why", his first top ten hit(#2), and his most recent solo effort, simply titled "NINO", introduced him to the rest of the world via MTV and MYX, with his music videos for the singles "I Still Love You" and "Alaala", both directed by photographer Xander Angeles.

Nino also recently received acclaim in his theater debut as the happy-go-lucky Ethan Girard, one of the leads of the hit musical, The Full Monty, presented by Viva Atlantis Theatricals.

He now spends his time as a father and as a member of his band. In 2014, he was recently invited to the blind auditions for The Voice of the Philippines where he was a four-chair turner.[2] He chose Lea Salonga as his coach.[3]
