From becoming a TikTok sensation amid the pandemic, Rhemuel Lunio, better known as "DJ Loonyo," opened his door to new opportunities, particularly in television and music.

Marking his way in the entertainment industry, DJ Loonyo has been a sought-after performer on various musical-variety programs on Philippine TV.

He was a judge and headhunter on TV 5's "Popinoy", and is currently seen regularly on "Wowowin".

During his media conference at Rico's bar and restaurant in Ortigas, DJ Loonyo shared what the audience will expect from his "Loonyoverse" concert.

"So mangyayari po sa concert namin, lahat po ng maririnig nila sa loonyoverse ay unreleased track, kaya ang gusto namin iparating dito is that we're creating a whole new experience sa mga audience namin," he shared. (So it will happen at our concert, everything they will hear on loonyoverse will be unreleased tracks, so what we want to convey here is that we're creating a whole new experience for our audiences.)

DJ Loonyo also added that the stage will be a 360-degree setup, that will bring a virtual reality designed for an amazing audio-visual feast and dance routines that will surely give the audience a show.

Now starring in his first-ever solo concert dubbed "Loonyoverse: They made me do it," the show is an original vision borne out of a career epiphany of DJ Loonyo himself.

With years of experience realizing one role after another, the internationally acclaimed choreographer, and DJ Loonyo is about to open himself to a new venture in the P-Pop universe.

Joining him on stage in the concert is his newly formed group called "Area 63" which consists of Dj Loonyo himself, Faye Protacio (Amari), Mannex Manhattan (Magic Mannex), Kenneth Bonilla (Freshbreed), and Edwinson Fernandez (Soh).

DJ Loonyo's girlfriend, Amari also mentioned her experience of working with him throughout the project.

"Sa amin namang dalawa, when it comes to A63 we work as partners. As much as possible we make it professional during rehearsals. Kaya for this concert medyo busy talaga kaming dalawa," Amari mentioned. ("As for the two of us, when it comes to A63 we work as partners. As much as possible we make it professional during rehearsals. So for this concert we are both really busy.)

The upcoming "Loonyoverse: They made me do it" concert will be held at the Matrix Creations Events Venue in Quezon City on Dec. 8. (Carissa Alcantara)
