Singer-songwriter Clifford Allen Estrala said he could finally get on with his musical career now that the pandemic is nearly over.

"Ngayong matatapos na ang Covid-19, bumabalik na ang shows ko sa labas ng US. Nagkaroon ulit ako ng maraming invitation para magperform sa London, Dubai, Paris, Istanbul, Canada, Toronto, Vancouver, Malaysia, Japan, and Philippines," said Clifford, during an interview recently.

(Now that Covid-19 is over, my shows outside the US are coming back. I have had many invitations to perform in London, Dubai, Paris, Istanbul, Canada, Toronto, Vancouver, Malaysia, Japan, and the Philippines.)

He added: "Nabisita ko din buong family ko at may bonding time kami sa Santiago, Ilocos sur. Nagkaroon ako ng shows provinces, interview sa 'Rated K' and with Ms. Charo Santos and Dimples Romana sa pamamaalam ng MMK ABS-CBN."

(I also visited my whole family, and we had a bonding time in Santiago, Ilocos Sur. I had shows provinces, an interview with 'Rated K' and with Ms. Charo Santos and Dimples Romana at the farewell of MMK ABS-CBN.)

Clifford also said that he just released his second album last March 25. On April 10 and 17, he will release his new songs "May Mahal Ka Palang Iba" and the new version of "If You Would Be" on various digital music platforms.

"Puede na rin kantahin ang mga songs ko sa lahat ng karaoke o videoke sa buong Pilipinas ang 'Nagmamahal Sa'yo' at 'Sa Aking Panagip.' This May, may show ulit ako sa Australia at sa Paris, France," he also said.

(My songs 'Nagmamahal Sa'yo' and 'Sa Aking Panagip' can now be sung in all karaoke or videoke throughout the Philippines. This May, I have another show in Australia and in Paris, France.)

Clifford remembers venturing into the streaming platform during the peak of the pandemic, adding that he had donated a portion of his digital media revenues to charities.

The singer-composer also stated that he would always be grateful to the Philippine Movie Press Club (PMPC) after his nomination for his first album "Only In My Dreams" in 2013.

In 2010, Erik Santos breathe into life the story of Clifford in "Maalaala Mo Kaya." Clifford also mounted a successful homecoming concert entitled "Voices From Asia" held at Metro Bar, West Avenue in Quezon City.
