Nick Vera Perez is All-Set to Launch Singing Career with Debut Album ‘I am Ready’

May 16, 2017

Nick Vera Perez was dressed to the nines when he got on board the Wish 107.5 Bus last May 8. Bringing an air of sophistication and respectable style, the up-and-coming singer’s mere presence is already spelling out his readiness to embark on a journey that he has always dreamed of pursuing.

A nurse and occasional host based in Chicago, Illinois, Nick started singing when he was three. He further honed his singing prowess when he joined numerous solo singing competitions during his elementary and college years.

Apart from taking up Bachelor of Science in Nursing at the University of Sto. Tomas, he was also granted with a scholarship in the Center for Pop Music where he finished with flying colors.

In his debut single “I am Ready,” Nick belts out, “I’m ready for a new beginning in my life.” Though the song can be regarded as rather inspirational or motivational, it gives subtle hint about his wish of introducing himself as a singer mature enough to conquer wider audiences.

The soaring ballad serves as the titular track of his eponymous effort. It is composed of 12, all-original tracks born out of his tedious collaboration with composer Adonis Tabanda.

“I am Ready,” the album, was released last May 14 at the Great Eastern Hotel in Diliman Quezon City.

Wishers got lucky enough as they had the chance to hear some cuts from Nick’s debut record during his Roadshow stint. Besides lending his voice for a live WISHclusive rendition of his carrier single, he also delivered a thrilling “You’re My Hero” performance.

According to him, the song is about telling everybody that “every one of us have friends that we can consider heroes.”

He also did a cover of Weezer’s “Island in the Sun.”

In an interview, he shared that his listeners can expect a roller coaster ride of emotions upon listening to the rest of his album. Its tracklist includes “Alapaap,” “Di Maglalaho,” “Di Ko na Kaya,” “Another Chance,” “”Hintayin Ko na Lang,” “Three Best Words,” “I Believe in You,” “Dito Sa Aking Puso,” “My Mom” and “Keep the Fire Burning Within.”

“I am Ready” is now available on Spotify and iTunes.
