UNA nakong nahimamat si Junnie Tampos sa Cebuano musical play nga “Taym Pa” niadtong 1984 pa dihang nakauban namo ang mga sikat niadto sa teatro sama ni Pamela Pilapil ug anhing Daisy Baad.
Nianang tuiga usab nahimong finalist si Junnie sa Cebu Pop Music Festival ug gisundan pa niadtong 2006 ug 2008. Usa sa iyang mga obra ang “Simply Cebuana” nga theme song sa kanhi Miss Cebu.
Sa pagligid sa panahon nahimo siyang “wedding singer” diin sagad sa iyang mga kliyente ang mga higalang doktor sa gialagaran niyang pharmaceutical company nga nagbukas niya og bag-ong oportunidad aron mahimong wedding coordinator.
“I was a wedding coordinator way back 2003 when a couple couldn’t find a band who could perform Michael Buble songs then when MB was still new. I formed a 4-piece band at that time with irregular members until I officially launched On-The-Cover in 2006. We are on FB. Just search On-The-Cover Band and you can “pm” me,” ni Junnie sa interbyu sa Super Ka.
“So big responsibility. Every band member is the bread winner of the family so ana kadako ako job. I make sure we get bookings every month. So far with God’s grace, we survived and we have been playing for 13 years now.”
Gawas sa mga wedding reception ug corporate shows, nakatukar usab sila sa Manila Polo Club sa imbitasyon sa usa ka senador ug lakip na sa APEC Summit ug sa 25th anniversary sa 5-star hotel sa Mactan kauban ang 18-piece orchestra.
Niadtong Sabado, July 13, ilang gipakita atol sa SunStar Best of Cebu Party sa Waterfront Cebu City Hotel and Casino kon unsa sila ka kamado manukar gikan sa all-time favorites hangtod sa Top 40 hits.
Ug usa sa mga bunga karon ni Junnie sa iyang mga paningkamot ang bag-o niyang gibuksan nga “Good Fr1days,” usa ka Milk Tea House nga anaa mahimutang sa may dalan Cañizares, Dumlog, Talisay City.
Nia ang tipik sa among sa Q and A. Nicanor “Junnie” Tampos, Jr., Ssssuper Ka!
Nganong milk tea man?
Kung musuroy mi sa malls, makabantay ko naay taas kaayog linya unya kung mangutana ko unsay gilinyahan, ingnon ko: “Milk tea, Sir.”
Why “Good Fri1days”?
It’s called Good Fr1days because the idea of our milk tea and burger joint was born on a Good Friday. Our couple partner, who happen to be our relatives, Jay and Janice, are also milk tea lovers.
Unsay mga best seller?
Good Fr1days Milktea (cream cheese overload) and Epic Burger (cream cheese sauce). P120 each.
Unsay opening hours?
Open siya from 3pm-12mn daily.
Do you consider your business and being with the band your bread and butter?
Yes. But my kids are all grown up now: 27, 24 and 23 years old. So, dili na ingon ana ka pressure.
Any challenges or trials lately?
Not much trials compared to during 8-10 years back. Maybe because I’ve learned to deal with the business and also maybe because I got some of the best band members in terms of attitude and talent.
What it really takes to survive the music industry?
Patience and more patience. Learning to relax under pressure. Lately, I’ve seen the power of God’s work through daily prayer. I’m so blessed.
