Erik Santos hopes to release international album

MANILA -- Singer Erik Santos said his biggest dream is to release an international album and make a name for himself abroad. "Siyempre dream ng bawat singer 'yung maging international, 'yung magkaroon ng international album, makilala ang music mo sa ibang bansa. For me, 'yun ang ultimate dream ko," Santos said in an interview on "Umagang Kay Ganda" on Thursday. "Pero ang mas ultimate pa doon ay 'yung ma-sustain ko ang career ko for 10 years more or 20 years more," added Santos, who is celebrating his 10th anniversary in show business in November. Santos said he is happy to be given the chance to share his talent for a decade now since winning the ABS-CBN singing competition "Star In A Million." "I'm very happy na narating ko 'yung 10 years kasi sa dami ng gustong maging artista eh nabigyan ako ng chance na kumunta sa kanila at magbigay ng musika for 10 years at sana madagdagan pa ang mga taon nas yon," he said. To mark his 10th year in the business, Santos will be holding a special concert "InTENse: A Decade with the Prince of Pop" on November 9 at PICC Plenary Hall.
