Sofronio Vasquez's LA Solo Concert: 'This Is the Show to See'

A Night to Remember: Sofronio Vasquez’s First Major Solo Concert in Los Angeles

Sofronio Vasquez, the first Filipino and Asian champion of NBC’s “The Voice,” is preparing for a special evening that promises to be unforgettable. He shared his excitement about his first major solo concert in Los Angeles since winning the popular singing competition. “If you’ve followed my journey, this is the show to see live,” he said.

The concert, titled “The Voice Winner: Sofronio Vasquez Live in Los Angeles,” will take place on Saturday, October 11, at 7:30 p.m. at the historic Pasadena Civic Auditorium. This event marks a significant milestone in Vasquez’s career as he takes the stage for a performance that showcases his growth and artistry.

A World-Class Performance

Vasquez emphasized that the concert will feature a world-class band and some very special guests. “We’re working with a world-class band and some very special guests will be joining me,” he explained. The setlist is carefully crafted to reflect his journey, from the emotional ballads that moved audiences on “The Voice” to powerful anthems of hope, love, and resilience.

Collaborating with musical director Troy Laureta, Vasquez aims to deliver an unforgettable, must-watch evening that highlights his versatility as an artist. Each performance is unique, as he strives to vary his shows every time, ensuring that no two experiences are the same.

A Moment of Honor

Recently, Vasquez had the honor of singing the Philippines’ national anthem, “Lupang Hinirang,” at the 2025 State of the Nation Address (SONA). “It was one of the greatest honors of my life,” he shared. The experience was both nerve-wracking and deeply meaningful for him.

“I felt a deep responsibility,” he admitted. “Being given the chance to represent millions of Filipinos around the world, I practiced it every day – not just technically but emotionally. It’s not just a song; it’s a sacred promise to our people, and everyone, including very young children, knows the song! It was immense pressure.”

Memorable Moments

Throughout his career, Vasquez has been part of several prestigious events. He reflected on the significance of performing at the World Expo in Osaka, being welcomed back home to the Philippines by President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., and singing at SONA 2025. “Each one felt like a piece of history, and I was just grateful to be part of it,” he said.

His journey on “The Voice” remains a defining chapter in his life. Singing “Crying” and “If I Can Dream” on the show will always hold a special place in his heart. However, the experiences he has had since then have shaped him into the artist he is today.

Inspiration from Michael Bublé

Michael Bublé, the multiple Grammy-winning entertainer who coached Vasquez to his historic win on “The Voice,” continues to inspire him. “Michael has been more than a coach. He’s been a mentor and a huge inspiration,” Vasquez noted.

“He’s offered guidance and encouragement even after the show. I’m currently working on my debut album and curating songs that reflect my identity as an artist. Michael is not only my coach but also my friend, and like my second father. He is the most inspirational and motivating artist in my life and a big supporter of my music.”

Joining the Celebration

Fans and music lovers, including followers from around the world, are expected to attend “The Voice Winner: Sofronio Vasquez Live in Los Angeles” on October 11. Zelle DeVilbiss and Dr. Jerry Dayao, the team behind his successful sold-out show at The Town Hall in New York last July 19, are also producing the Pasadena Civic Auditorium concert. Tickets are available at Ticketmaster. This event promises to be a celebration of Vasquez’s talent, journey, and the many milestones he has achieved.
