The upcoming season of “The Voice Kids Philippines” marks the first installment of the kids’ singing contest on the Kapuso network. The franchise of “The Voice,” including the Kids edition, was previously under the helm of ABS-CBN until it aired its 10th and final season (Teens) last May.
Ajero, San Jose, and Crawford were also the coaches of GMA’s “The Voice Generations” where they were joined by Parokya ni Edgar frontman.
Pablo made his debut as the leader, chief songwriter, main rapper, and vocalist of SB19 in October 2018. He debuted as a solo artist with “La Luna” in January 2022.
He is also the CEO of SB19’s self-managed label 1Z Entertainment.
