RJ is OUT
After forty-odd days of practically living and breathing music inside the Academy, Ryan Jay Jimenez became the fifth member to be expelled. But this doesn’t mean that RJ will stop pursuing a career in music just yet; in fact, the ex-scholar is getting ready to make a name for himself outside of the Academy.
This singer, songwriter and accomplished musical arranger taught himself guitar while in Grade 7. Drawing on his influences, particularly the Eraserheads, Francis Magalona and Jason Mraz (he even had his guitar autographed by this foreign artist), RJ honed his musical skills and won a radio station acoustic competition with his rendition of ‘All My Life’ last 2003. His original composition ‘Miss Kita Pag Tuesday’ was already popular in his alma mater UST and small bars, and was in fact the song he played during the Pinoy Dram Academy auditions.
Life inside the Academy was a learning experience for RJ in more ways than one; between rehearsals and performances, his relationship with co-scholar Yeng became stronger and more apparent. In fact, RJ shared a tearful moment with her before moving out, promising to attend her live performances every Saturday.
And during his press conference, his first major public appearance since his expulsion, RJ voiced out his thoughts on life, love and music:
On his musical evolution:
“Dati nung maliit ako, aral lang ako nang aral, hobby lang ang pagkanta. Tapos nung nalaman naman ng family ko, todo suporta naman sila.”
On ‘Miss Kita Pag Tuesdays’:
“Tungkol sa classmate ko nung college na pumunta na sa States; seatmates kase kami everyday except Tuesdays.”
On his favorite teachers inside the Academy:
“Sina Teacher Moy, Jim, and Maribeth, andami ko pong natutunan sa kanila, grabe.”
On having a love team:
“Kung gusto po ng tao… sila na po ang bahala.”
On plans to court Yeng:
“Oo naman!”
On becoming famous:
“Yung tao lang po makaksagot nun.”
On the press:
“Press-sure!”
On his goal after PDA:
“Gusto ko lang mag-grow as an artist.”
On acting:
“Kung bigyan ng chance, why not?”
On his best bet to win:
“Si Yeng syempre!”
