In a November 2025 interview with PUSH ABS-CBN, TJ admitted that he had never imagined himself staging his own concerts, as he initially saw himself more as a songwriter than a performer.
“I’ve never thought na kaya ko mag-concert. Kasi dati, I’m a songwriter pero hindi ko nakikita ‘yung sarili kong performer. Ganoon akong klaseng artist. Feeling ko, I write songs, I release them, and that’s it. Enough na ‘yun. Enough na ‘yun sa akin. Hindi ko na-imagine magperform,” he explained.
TJ added: “The way I’ve envisioned myself before, hanggang 3 to 5 songs lang ako. Lagi akong guest, not a full concert. I didn’t know how to do it, hindi ko alam kung paano ko siya gagawin.”
He credited his wife, KZ Tandingan, and Cornerstone Entertainment for encouraging him to pursue concerts despite his initial reservations.
“Cornerstone pushed me to do concerts. First, it was KZ. Sabi niya, magconcert ka, deserve mo magconcert. Then Cornerstone, support sila,” he recalled.
The singer-songwriter also attributed his musical journey to his faith.
“Hindi ko naman siya pinili; ako ‘yung pinili ni Lord na gawin itong tour na ‘to, na gawin itong concert na ‘to. Cornerstone is really one of God’s blessings na ibinigay sa akin,” he said.
