Sam Milby Prepares For His First Solo Concert

Popular young actor Sam Milby will prove his versatility as he readies for his first major solo cocert dubbed as "The Rockoustic Heartthrob" on October 25th at the Aliw Theater.

The word "Rockoustic" according to Milby is the combination of acoustic and rock songs that he is going to perform for the concert.

Milby said that he is now busy preparing for the show.

"Malapit na mag-start ang mga rehearsals namin at yun ang kailangan kong gawin. Maraming maraming rehearsals para handang handa ako," Milby said.

He said that as part of the preparations for the show they are now completing the list of songs that he is going to sing.

"Papakinggan pa din yung mga kanta na kakantahin ko para i-memorize yung kanta," Milby said.

The actor admitted that he is nervous for his upcoming concert. But he said that he will surely give his best to satisy his audience.

"Mahirap kasi first time ko ito, and I'm the shy type. I'm a "stage fright" person, pero I hope to overcome my fear and have fun. May pressure din kasi first solo concert dapat maganda yung first," he said.

Journey's Pineda

To make Milby's concert more memorable, popular rock band Journey's lead vocalist Arnel Pineda will be part of the show.

Milby said that he is really excited to see Pineda and it will be a great pleasure if he could perform a duet with Journey's main man.

"Wala pa silang sinabi kung may duet pero sobra kung maka-duet... he's from a famous international band," he said.

Milby said he hasn't had the chance to meet Pineda. He said that if they will perform together, he will make sure he gets to choose which parts he will sing.

"He will take the high notes, I will take the low notes," Milby joked.

No love

"We are really concentrating on our careers," this is what Milby says when asked about rumored girlfriend Anne Curtis after reports surfaced that they already parted ways.

Milby admitted that they had problems but added that these were already solved. He said they are both busy with showbiz commitments, so they both decided to focus on their work first.

The actor also denied rumors that the cause of their rift was Curtis’ intimate scenes for the movie “Baler” with actor Jericho Rosales.

“Ang daming nagsasabi na tungkol sa akin na tungkol kay Jericho. Walang ganyan. Kami parehas, ako medyo seloso, medyo selosa din siya pero wala kaming problemang ganyan,” he said.

Milby said that right now Curtis is busy with “Dyosa”, while he is busy with his concert and a movie under Star Cinema.
