Filipino-Canadian singer-songwriter Peyton Garcia delves into the theme of young love on a summery day with his debut single “Vanilla Bean” slated for release this Friday (March 22).
Peyton penned the song, envisioning the Philippines as a summer paradise best enjoyed with one’s significant other.
“Coming from Canada where the weather is cold, the Philippines is like a paradise to me. Not only is the scenery breathtaking, but the people here are incredibly kind and appreciative of everything, and I simply adore it,” Peyton expressed. “This song encapsulates the desire to share this paradise with that special someone in your life.”
He collaborated with Michael Cursebox and supervising producer Roque “Rox” Santos, under ABS-CBN’s StarPop record label, in producing “Vanilla Bean.”
From a young age, Peyton harbored dreams of gracing the stage and pouring his heart into performances, motivating him to pursue a career in music.
“Music has always been a passion of mine. When I was a child, my parents enrolled me in various extracurricular activities, but after witnessing my first musical, I knew that being on stage, just like those performers, was my calling. And ever since, I’ve been on this thrilling musical journey,” he revealed.
At the age of 17, Peyton toured across Canada and the U.S. as a former member of Mini Pop Kids. Amidst the pandemic, he spearheaded the Virtual Concert Reality (VCR), an interactive online concert showcasing young talents. Influenced by artists like Jon Bellion, Samm Henshaw, and Bruno Major, Peyton is eager to showcase the versatility of music.
“I’m incredibly proud to represent the Philippines and demonstrate the diverse realm of music to the world. Being part of various gigs in the Western industry while representing my homeland is a tremendous honor and a deeply personal achievement for me,” Peyton remarked.
In addition to his musical prowess, Peyton has also graced the screens, starring in the Amazon Prime series “Amelia Parker” and the Nickelodeon series “Overlords and the Underwoods.”
