Jose Carlito "JC" Padilla, Brother of Daniel Padilla, Ventures into Music

JC Padilla, Daniel Padilla’s brother, is now also venturing into the music scene with his single "Kasalanan" as part of Star Music’s new album "OPM Fresh." OPM Fresh is a compilation of songs from up and coming musicians in the country.

JC stressed that he does not mind if he will be compared to Daniel. 

Sa akin okay lang kasi kapatid ko naman siya, kung may comparison man siguro ang mas magiging difference namin is he's more of an actor and I’m more of a singer.

He further stressed that he does not consider the Teen King as a competition now that he is also a musician. 

Ang sa akin naman ‘yung kay kuya hindi ko kasi tina-take ‘yun as a competition sa aming dalawa so siguro kung dadating tayo sa ganong point kung hindi maiiwasan. Basta sa aming dalawa walang nagiging hidwaan sa amin at tsaka we are both proud of each other kasi nagsimula kaming dalawa sa banda, tulungan kami hangga’t sumikat siya.

JC added that Daniel is actually helping him to reach his dreams. 

Now he's giving me let's say… he’s helping me. Nakakatulong si kuya sa akin so para sa akin ‘yung higitan siya wala sa plano. Para sa akin i-prove lang din na kaya ko na kaya ko ang pinapasok ng iba, halimbawa music kasi since bata ako dream ko na ‘to.

The new singer also relayed that he considers Daniel and also his dad, Orient Pearl vocalist Naldy Padilla, as musical inspirations. 

Sa akin hindi yun pressure eh, sa akin inspiration at maging proud sila sa akin.

JC also shared his dad’s advice to him especially now that he’s embarking on his musical career. 

Tip niya sa akin ‘yun nga galingan ko kasi isa lang talaga tip niya sa akin higitan ko raw ‘yung naabot niya kasi ‘yung sinabi niyang ‘yun enough na para galingan ko dahil sobrang taas na non.
