And here's a feel- good news story from the United STATES for Boholanos everywhere.
A song co-written by Boholano songwriter/musician Jimmy Borja got featured just last week in an episode of “The Young and the Restless,” the #1 day-time drama series in the U.S.
"Wild Child" was Borja’s third song on American mainstream television. The first one was in the series “Seal Team” on CBS in 2019, another song last year on a different channel and most recently in the long-running American soap opera.
MUSIC INDUSTRY START
Jimmy's songwriting career began when he joined and won the Grand Prize at 1st Bohol Pop Music Festival in 1989. He followed his first victory with consecutive Grand Prize wins at the Cebu Pop Music Festival in the early 90s.
He later went to Manila to pursue a full-time songwriting and music career.
MEMORABLE HITS
Among his popular and enduring songs are “Sana Ngayong Pasko,” “Bukas Na Lang Kita Mamahalin” “If The Feeling Is Gone,” “Ang Iibigin Ay Ikaw,” “I Still Believe In Loving You” and many others.
Even after three decades of creating music and churning out hits in the Philippine music industry, recording companies, artists and producers in Manila still continue to ask for new compositions from Mr. Borja.
Recent recordings include those of Maine Mendoza for Universal Records, Kelvin Miranda and Mikee Quintos for GMA Records, Regine Velasquez for Viva, Jed Madela, Juris and Jaya for Star Music and The Voice Kids champion Vanjoss Bayaban for MCA Music.
A homegrown talent having been born and raised in Loay, Bohol, Borja is now based in California, U.S.A.
