Sofronio Vasquez grew up in a very small house in the Philippines with no bed or running water. He studied to be a dentist because his father wanted him to have a safe life. His father was also his first singing teacher, but sadly passed away in 2018. To keep his promise, Sofronio moved to America to chase his musical dreams and became the winner of The Voice Season 26.
Winning the show was just the start of his journey as a superstar singer. He moved from being a dental assistant in New York to a famous artist known by everyone. Even after he won, he returned to the same big stage to show how much he has grown. It was a full-circle moment that proved his hard work finally paid off for his family. He sang his original song “Superman.”
