Filipinos have a unique kind of music. We call it “OPM(Original Pinoy Music)” which not only makes some foreign people sing but also encourage them to create their own songs.
Recently, I was surfing videos to watch on Youtube when I stumble to this guy’s channel(David Dimuzio) and already got my bid to be his fan.
The funny part is that he plays and sing my favourite Filipino songs with pride though he is not a Filipino. He embraced my music and culture – which makes him more amazing.

About David Dimuzio, “I wrote my first real song when I was 11 years old because I had a huge crush on a girl at camp.
My heroes growing up where my favorite musicians, and that seemed to be what they did.
I sang her the song after we attended the “summer camp dance” then timidly asked if I could kiss her, she said yes, and then we kissed each other on the cheek, and I realized I was on to something.
I play guitar on my own recordings, write all of my own lyrics, and arrange all of my own music. ”
i love this guy .. stumbled on one of his cover of a filipino before .. it wasn’t a disappointment. he did gave justice to our OPM …. more power
Saw him playing live at a certain mall here at my place. He is quite good. But for sure, there are much more talented Filipinos than him, they just need a break like him.
First time to encounter this aritist. Ang gaganda naman ng songs dyan.
It’s good that even foreigners appreciate OPM and proudly sings and enjoy them.
Yeah! I’ve already encountered him on Ytube singing OPM, and we should be proud of that, he shares our music to the world.
I know this guy, I’ve seen him in his Youtube videos and I think he is really great. I like the last video the most.
Cool! His voice kinda fit a little on those song.
He is actually very good., I wonder why he chose Filipino songs.
Awesome guy! Wow, if a total stranger to our culture can fall in love with our music as much as he did, we should no less love it too.
wow.. ang lamig ng boses! is he here in Philippines? naisip ko lang kung baket Fil songs ang napili niya of all language here in the world. is there anything special?
Not bad. It’s a different stroke to these songs. hihihi…
Wow! Does Yeng Cosntantino know that David adores her?
Hahaha! I love the way he sings the song, hindi masyadong slang.
