Filipino vocal powerhouse Sofronio Vasquez, winner of The Voice USA Season 26, recently had a surreal moment when he met tech icon and Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates. The encounter took place after Vasquez performed alongside Grammy-winning musician David Foster at a private celebration for Foster’s wife, singer Katharine McPhee.
Vasquez shared the special moment on social media, expressing his gratitude for the chance to perform in front of such a distinguished audience. “It’s an honor to perform in front of an esteemed audience. I look forward to performing for all of you on my upcoming shows,” he wrote.
The meeting sparked joy among fans, many praising Vasquez for reaching new heights in both music and networking, with one netizen commenting, “Very impressive! Meeting these big icons is a huge blessing. So proud of you, Sof!”
Vasquez, who made history as the first Filipino and first male Asian artist to win the U.S. version of The Voice, also wowed the crowd recently at the Gateway for Cancer Research’s Vino con Stelle gala, performing with Foster and McPhee once again.
Up next for the rising star is his much-anticipated debut concert in Dubai, scheduled for Saturday, May 24, 2025, at the Dubai World Trade Centre. Doors open at 7:00 PM, with the show starting at 8:00 PM. Tickets begin at AED 299 and are now available on Platinumlist.net.
