Growing up for me in the Philippines was hard to read comic books because I'm blind.

Growing up, I've always kinda been into academics.

It was already hard enough growing up in the Philippines but imagine being blind, that's 10 times harder.

When Will and I were growing up in Los Angeles, his girlfriends were always Israeli, so we'd always be hanging out with Israelis in L.A.

There's a lot of kids just like me growing up in the Philippines, so I don't want them to give up. So listen to your parents, work hard and you can achieve so much.

There's the fine line between presenting your culture and learning about other cultures so it becomes global.

I was blessed and lucky to have been given opportunity. I really thank my dad, Joe Ben Hudgens, for taking his time and adopting this kid from the Philippines, and gave him his future, and opportunities. Without him, I wouldn't be here.

Me, I'm just gonna keep spreading the word about ‘We Can Be Anything' campaign among Fil-Am communities in the U.S."

I actually got to go back to where I was born and perform there. I just brought my mom up onstage and was like, ‘Look, here we are.'"

I can do somersaults and back flips.

I have pursued my dream and I believe it is important to give back because I have been given the opportunity to be what I am now.

Back then we were young, we would just mash all forms of music together and come up with something.
