Solaire Resort Entertainment City celebrates its 10th anniversary with a series of exciting events this month. For music lovers, aside from Sting: My Songs concert, David Foster is coming back to the Philippines with the very first eight-show-residency, David Foster and Friends, Live at The Theatre at Solaire concert from March 21 to 26.
David Foster, the world-famous music icon who has serenaded millions with his chart-topping hit songs is finally back in the Philippines! Here’s a list of the reasons why you shouldn’t miss The Hitman’s concert:
He is a multi-decorated Grammy Award winner. David Foster has been collecting Grammy Awards throughout his career. He currently has 16 Grammy Awards including three for Producer of the Year, an Emmy Award, a Golden Globe, and racked up three Oscar nominations for “Best Original Song” on top of his glorious Yamaha piano.
Everything he writes turns into gold. Dubbed as “The Hitman,” this sought-after music genius has his name imprinted on the crowd favorites like “Got To Be Real,” “Glory of Love” “It’s The Falling In Love,” “I Swear,” “You’re The Inspiration,” “Through The Fire,” “Take A Chance,” “I Am Love,” “After The Love Is Gone,” and “Run To You.”
A mentor and confidant of the biggest music stars. Foster had worked with the brightest and most talented musicians in the world. He had written and produced music for Christina Aguilera, Seal, Barbra Streisand, Andrea Bocelli, Jennifer Lopez, Michael Bublé’, Celine Dion, Whitney Houston, Rod Stewart, Madonna, Donna Summer, Olivia Newton-John, Natalie Cole, Josh Groban, Toni Braxton, and Alice Cooper, to name a few.
His talent has a benevolent purpose. Aside from being a successful music maker, David Foster draws his inspiration to do more by helping those in need. Foster established a non-profit charitable organization dedicated to providing financial assistance to Canadian families who are challenged with their non-medical expenses before, during, and after their children’s organ transplants to ensure that they are covered throughout the recovery stages.
He was a real-life prodigy. Born in Victoria, British Columbia, David Foster started learning the piano keys at the age of four and eventually enrolled at the University of Washington for their prestigious music program when he turned 13. From there on, his great career had already bolstered and flourished. At his eight-show-concert, David Foster will be performing with a Yamaha GC1 TA2, officially distributed in the country by Yupangco Music Corporation.
