THOR|The Soul RnB Sensation

 

On November 17 we were invited for an intimate afternoon talk with the Soul RnB Sensation, Thor.

THOR started as a choirboy in Davao before he became one of the most promising Soul RnB singers in the country. With perseverance and hard work from joining and winning singing competitions until he started getting into professional singing together with his band MYXTREME at the age of 19 and followed by his self-titled album THOR under Evolution Music distributed by Warner Music Philippines.

His second studio album entitled “Soul Obsessions” Duets with Thor was released in 2007 under Ivory Music Philippines, conceptualized from his radio segment on Wave 89.1. The album was Thor’s collaboration with the Philippines greatest artists like Jay Durias of South Border, Luke Mijares, MYMP, Nina, Amber Davis, Jinky Vidal of Freestyle just to mention a few.

While gigging at a bar here in the Philippines, international Soul Jazz musicians Marcos Sainz and Juan Galiardo were impressed and approached Thor after his set. The two asked him to sing some tracks in their album. They flew him to Spain to record and asked him to become a part of the band. Their album was released in some parts of Europe last 2008 entitled, “SHINE A LIGHT”. Now, Thor is one of the lead vocalists of the international Soul Jazz Funk band SATYA PROJECT while still pursuing his solo career here in the Philippines

 

Thor received various awards including Most Promising Male R&B Performer (Awards and Recognition Association of the Philippines), Awit Awardee (Best Performance by a Duet on the song “The Closer I Get To You” with Nina) and the 2007 Metro Manila Film Festival Best Theme song “Kasalanan Nga Ba” from the movie “KUTOB”.

Of course, we didn’t allow him to leave without singing for us. Here’s a video taken during the intimate bloggers’ meet and greet with Thor.
