  Singer-singwriter Jim Brickman shared his appreciation to Darryl Ong on his rendition of song “Destiny,” duet with Korean singer Wonji.

  Brickman’s attention was caught by Ong’s “topnotch” rendition which was seen in Youtube. Because of this, he decided to have Ong and Wonji to be featured on his Facebook concert dedicated to his Southeast Asian fans.

  “I couldn’t believe how many views Daryl had. It was incredible. And I also didn’t realize how popular the song ‘Destiny’ was in the Philippines. He sounded great. That was one of the reasons I decided to invite him to my online show,” Brickman told the Inquirer in an interview.

  “It’s amazing when people cover my songs, especially when English isn’t necessarily their first language. Sometimes, I can’t imagine how the song finds its way around the world,” he said.

  “Of course, I would love to collaborate with him and more Filipino music artists. I have worked with Erik Santos, Martin Nievera, Pops Fernandez and Regine Velasquez. I would like to continue doing that,” Brickman added.

  Jim Brickman was known for his 1990s ballads such as “By Heart,” “The Gift,” “Valentine,” and “Your Love.”
