Becoming one of the most well-known OPM artists in this generation, award-winning singer Arthur Nery is just getting started.

At the media conference for the ILYSM (I Love You So Much) Valentine's concert, which was hosted by CJ Villavicencio at Viva Cafe in Araneta City on Jan. 17, Arthur expressed his gratitude for the kind words he received from Ogie Alcasid after working with him. He shared how overwhelmed he felt by the compliments.

"I'm very overwhelmed po, kasi honestly speaking we grew up watching them and we respect the veterans so much, the ones who paved the way, parang kapag sinabi na kami na yung bagong papalit sa kanila, parang nahuhurt po kami kasi we're just fans," Arthur said. 

(I'm very overwhelmed because honestly speaking we grew up watching them and we respect the veterans so much, the ones who paved the way, it's like when it's said that we're the new ones who will replace them, it's like we're being hurt because we're just fans.)
