Ben&Ben admit to having impostor syndrome over 'The Voice Kids' stint, share lesson they want to impart
Ben&Ben is among the most successful OPM acts and in the upcoming 'The Voice Kids,' twins Miguel Benjamin and Paolo Benjamin are among the new judges.
While they understand their responsibility in helping shape young artists, the twins couldn't help but experience a little bit of doubt in their own skills and successes.
'Honestly, again being very real with you, mayroon kaming slight impostor syndrome," Paolo said.
'We still don't fully know bakit kami nandito. But what we do know is whenever there's something that you're led to, it's for a purpose. And the purpose that we want to serve here is just making a small positive impact sa nine kids na makakasama namin sa journey na 'to," he added.
Meanwhile, Miguel shared the one piece of advice they hope will positively impact the kids aside from musical skills, and that is to treat people well.
'Mahalaga 'yung talent, mahalaga 'yung skill at babaunin mo 'yun, pero ang palagay namin, mas mahalaga ay paano ka makitungo sa kapwa tao,' Miguel said.
He added that perfection is not the goal. 'You won't get it right all the time, pero as long as every single time, 'yung intention mo ay hindi makasakit at pagka nagkamali ka matuto ka, at tratuhin mong bawat isang tao na 'yung gusto mong ibigay ay pagmamahal.'
Ben&Ben's latest album, 'The Traveller Across Dimensions,' was released in November 2024. It includes the tracks 'Could Be Something,' 'Comets,' and 'Triumph.'
The band went on a world tour in support of the album this year.
Ben&Ben also performed at the Off Limits Music Festival in Abu Dhabi in April, where Ed Sheeran, One Republic, and Kaiser Chiefs were also part of the lineup.
Ben&Ben's latest single 'Saranggola' was released in April and marked their eight years as a band. — LA, GMA Integrated News
