Music: Erik Santos Sings The Greatest Theme Songs
Prince of Pop Erik Santos stands out among his
contemporaries because of his ability to convey a whole array of emotions
through his songs, making him the most sought-after interpreter of theme songs.
He has breathed life to around 30 movie and TV themes– May Bukas Pa, Now That I Have You, Miss You
Like Crazy, If You Asked Me To, Lupa, It Might Be You, Maging Sino Ka Man, Say
You’ll Never Go, I’ll Never Go, among others. This is a feat achieved only by the Prince of Pop, who seems to
be John Lloyd Cruz’s lucky charm because most of his hit movies had Erik as the
singer of the theme. And with such achievements he has become the most
requested interpreter of Teleserye and movie theme songs.
Erik, aside from being a prolific singer, is also an
accomplished concert performer with numerous hit concerts to his name. He had
sold-out concerts at the Music Museum, Meralco Theater, Aliw Theater, and
Araneta Coliseum.

This August 30 and 31 at the Meralco Theater, Erik highlights
his love of singing theme songs and performing via the major concert The Greatest Theme Songs. In the
concert, experience the power of Erik’s voice as he celebrates the magic of cinema
and music through impressive production numbers and sincere singing.
“I am excited with the concept of this concert,” says Erik. “I have always been fascinated by great Theme Songs, be it movies, theater or teleseryes, so I am really happy that I was given this project.”
The concert will feature, aside from Erik’s live performance
of his previously-recorded theme songs, the Prince of Pop’s favorite songs
lifted from the big and small screens.
“It will be a night of good music and memorable moments,”
adds Erik. “It will be a trip down memory lane, but I assure you, everything
you’ll see onstage will be somewhat new. It is an exciting show.” Joining him in the concert are all female Classical
Crossover Pop Trio Opera Belles and OPM legendary Icons Basil Valdez, Vina
Morales and Gary Valenciano.
As a recording artist, Erik still remains to be one of the
most bankable singers of his generation winning the 2012 Tambayan 101.9 Song of
the Year Award for his single Kulang Ako
Kung Wala Ka, part of his latest album Awit
Para Sa’yo.
This event is presented by Qualibet and Record Breaker
Events in cooperation with Zenea Slimming and Body Sculpting and a production
of Cornerstone Concerts.
