He's played throughout Los Angeles as well as in pubs in Scotland, alongside and in front of many artists like Scarlet Rivera and Finneas. https://m.facebook.com/henryzhaomusic/?tsid=0.3239600547522018&source=result "The songs of Borja are simply all over the music charts and great names in the industry have one or two of them. In fact, we are not just aware that a lot of the songs made for Philippine movies and teleseryes are compositions by the prolific composer from Bohol. Jimmy grew up in Polacion Ubos, Loay town. He is an alumnus of the Immaculate Heart of Mary Seminary, which has not only produced priests but Boholano composers as well. Jimmy pursued his Accountancy course at the Divine Word College of Tagbilaran. He started writing professionally in the early ‘90s. The first song he wrote “Sultihi Ko” won first prize in the 1st Bohol Pop Music Festival in 1991. He then won first prize in the Cebu Pop Music Festival for three consecutive years. His earlier songs in the Cebuano dialect were recorded by regional artists. A CPA, he quit his job for a full-time songwriting career. ...He became the first homegrown Filipino non-artist songwriter to be signed by an American publishing company...with more than 100 songs published and recorded by top recording artists in the Philippines and abroad, Jimmy Borja is indeed a Boholano music legend in the making." - Sonieta D. Labasan from the Bohol Chronical Eric Schoneberg is an Americana singer/songwriter born, raised and based in Los Angeles, California. A powerful lyricist, through story and rhyme, he will take you on journeys of love, loss and everything in between. Check out his music here: https://linktr.ee/ericschonemusic
