In 2018, Sofronio Vasquez was just a dental student in Ozamiz City. He had just lost his father and felt like his world was falling apart. To honor his dad, he decided to leave his books behind and move to America to pursue a singing career. He eventually walked onto the stage of The Voice US and made history as the first Filipino to ever win the whole show. For his big finale, he chose to sing the famous song A Million Dreams.
He stood under the bright lights and sang every word for his family back home in the Philippines. You could see the tears in his eyes as he hit the high notes. He looked like a star who had finally found where he belonged. His coach,a Michael Bublé, watched him with so much pride because he knew how hard this young man worked to get there.
