The Voice PH Season 2: Timmy Pavino of Team Lea

(Pardon for posting a week late, The Voice PH Season 2 went underway last week, October 26, 2014 with the four coaches back to choose this season's The Voice of the Philippines) 

Seattle-based Timmy Pavino, 24 managed to impress Bamboo Manalac, Sarah Geronimo and her eventual coach Lea Salonga in the first audition shown during the blinds of The Voice of the Philippines Season 2. 

Coach Lea eventually ended up with this quote as: "Timmy, everything na hinahanap ko sa isang singer, nasa'yo. It's this internal battle na, ano pa yung gagawin ko, pero ang galing-galing talaga, hindi ko pwedeng palampasin." 

Pavino is considered to already be a veteran performer as he has been singing here and abroad since he was 7. He also joined Kanta Pilipinas on TV 5 and had a rare duet with Angeline Quinto in ASAP.

For those who missed his blind audition:
