TJ Monterde had a big star as his front act for the final night of his concert
Singer-songwriter TJ Monterde had this reaction when he knew that Concert King Martin Nievera was the front act for his concert’s final night.
TJ had a 3-night sold-out concert from February 1 to 3 at the Araneta Coliseum. Last year, he also had a 2-night sold-out concert. For the final night, he had a big star in the music industry as a front act.
In concerts, front acts usually feature newbies in the industry and rising stars. However, in TJ’s case, the Concert King who has been in the industry since the 80s became his front act.
Cornerstone Entertainment, the talent management company handling TJ Monterde, shared a video showing the singer’s emotional reaction as he watched Martin Nievera’s spiel before singing a couple of songs as a front-act artist at that time.
Martin had a past statement that if ever TJ becomes a big star, he will return the favor. It was because years ago, TJ used to be Martin’s front act and he would sell CDs at his show.
TJ was crying and his wife Soul Supreme KZ Tandingan was by his side supporting him. Martin further mentioned that TJ deserved the success of filling up that concert venue three nights in a row.
“So allow me tonight to return the favor to my front act boy and the host of my CD promos, as I am now for the very first time, I am your front act,” Martin said and took a bow.
Netizens who commented on this post agreed that TJ deserved all the success that he has achieved in the music industry.
Meanwhile, in the same concert titled Sarili Nating Mundo, Miss Universe 2018 Catriona Gray was seen crying as TJ Monterde sang the song Hanggang Dito Na Lang.
