from That Voice: A Decade With The Performers On NBC's The Voice · host Arroe Collins

Sofronio grew up in the Philippines with virtually nothing, including no bed or indoor plumbing. Despite his situation, he describes his upbringing as happy, because music was always there to bring his family joy. Sofronio fondly remembers singing with his dad and considers him his coach. Sofronio never thought he was as musically inclined as his friends and family, so instead he embarked on a career in dentistry. While studying for his dental boards in the Philippines, he decided to give music a chance. Shortly after this decision, Sofronio was met with tragedy when his dad suddenly passed away. Now, with a new sense of motivation to make his late father proud, Sofronio has taken a leap of faith and moved to America to pursue music more seriously. Since moving, he's competed at the famed Apollo Theater, his cover of "Nothing's Going to Change My Love For You" has topped 1million views on TikTok and a performance of "That's What Friends Are For" has surpassed 9.5 million views on Facebook. Sofronio is ready to take "The Voice" stage!If you could share a conversation with a seed before it becomes a tree would you speak of its future fruit or would it be all things right now?
