Hi, guys! Some call me AntsCanada, others that Filipino comedian who makes parodies, and others that gay vlogger who lives in the Philippines, but the truth is, before I ever became any of these, I was a singer, who made music.

I was born/raised in Toronto, Canada where I became a top 8 finalist on Canadian Idol (2003), after which I went on to tour Canada, US, and Asia, opening for artists like the Pussycat Dolls and Christina Aguilera.

This all lead to the independent release of my debut LP 'Memoirs of a Superhero' (2008), but after unexpectedly going viral for some Filipino comedy skits uploaded to Youtube, I moved to the Philippines to enter show business, as one of the country's first internet personalities. My channels went on to aquire over 13M collective followers & Streamy nominations, but inside I secretly missed doing music.


When my manager Rj and I both came out as bisexual in 2019, revealing our secret long-term relationship, things truly changed. We built a farm house in the middle of a Philippine forest where we now live, and it was here where I was inspired to return to my first love - making music.

So today, 17 yrs later, here I am picking up on my old dream, sharing my story through my songs. After so many years of videomaking, visuals have become so elemental, so when listening to my new songs, do look up the music videos and immerse yourself in the universes. I hope you find music here that speaks to you. TY!
