Zack Tabudlo says coaching 'The Voice Kids PH' is a full circle moment
Before his 'surreal' success as a singer-songwriter, Zack Tabudlo got his start as a contestant on 'The Voice Kids' back in 2014, but got eliminated early on. Now, he is the talent search's newest judge in its upcoming edition. In a group interview, Zack said this is 'definitely' a full circle moment for him. 'Until now, I can't believe I'm in this GMA studio doing pictorials with Ben&Ben and sina Julie and Kuya Billy [Crawford],' Zack answered GMA News Online. 'It's crazy. It's a crazy feeling. I think this is sort of those things na parang grabe, I'm so blessed,' he added. 'And this is such a dream of mine that I never expected that would happen, but it's here. So it gives a lot of courage to these kids also to have a dream.' As someone who has been in their shoes before, Zack shared that he wants to impart to the kids that it is not the end of the world, no matter what happens. 'One big thing for kids or like contestants who fall out of the competition, unang iisipin niyan, 'Bbos na 'yung dreams ko, wala na,'' he said. 'When I was their age, honestly, I felt that way also. That's why, in a way, that's the advantage of being a coach kasi I feel for these kids, I know what they went through." According to Zack, that he gets to be a mentor and coach to the contestants now is "evidence na when you actually really dream and you love that dream of yours and your craft, nothing can really stop you from doing what you love to do." He added, "And ikaw lang din 'yun eh, ikaw lang mag-pu-push sa sarili mo.' Zack, along with Ben&Ben twins Paolo and Miguel Benjamin Guico, will be joining the upcoming season of "The Voice Kids Philippines" for the first time as coaches. Julie Anne San Jose and Billy Crawford are also returning as coaches. Production for the show's next season is now underway and will air on GMA Network soon! Zack signed to US-based record label Mercury Records in May. His latest single, 'Manloloko' came out in April. Zack is best known for the songs 'Pano' and 'Give Me Your Forever.' —CDC, GMA Integrated News
