SB19 Stell’s self-confidence got needed boost from career milestones




January 24 ------ Months before SB19’s Stell brought home three awards from the 10th Wish Music Awards, he confessed during his solo debut showcase that it took some time before he developed confidence in himself and his abilities. But his efforts to establish himself as a solo artist were worth it as he bagged the Wish Ballad Song of the Year, Wish Breakthrough Artist of the Year, and Wishers’ Choice plums at the awards ceremony last Sunday, Jan. 19, at the Araneta Coliseum. These awards, in turn, gave Stell the confidence to move forward in his future pursuits. “Iniisip ko na, game on. Kaya ko nang gawin lahat. Ready ako to face anything, mapa-solo man or group activity. Super ready ako ngayon. Dala-dala ko ‘to at gagalingan ko palagi,” he said. 

  

“Sobrang eye-opener ang nangyari. Lagi kong sinasabi na hindi ako ready, hindi ko siya ine-expect,” Stell told INQUIRER.net on the sidelines of the event. “But kapag nand’un ka na sa mismong [position na ‘yun], babalik sa’yo lahat ng doubts. Iniisip ko siya before. [Pero] wala, kailangan ko na siyang gampanan. Nakita na ng tao na I’m well-deserved sa mga ganitong klaseng awards,” he continued. 

  

When asked why he still goes through self-doubt, Stell admitted that he’s still in a state of disbelief that he was allowed to show off his skills in a wider scale. “Naging parte rin siya ng paglaki ko. Hindi naman ako lumaki sa isang pamilya na pwede kong gawin ang mga gusto ko.” “Pangarap ko talaga ito noong maliit pa ako,” he continued. “Ngayon, naaabot ko na tulad ng mga kanta [kasama ang iba’t ibang artists]. Hindi ako makapaniwala na ito pa ang Stell na batang nangangarap noon, pero ngayon, nagagawa ko na siya lahat.” 

  

Aside from his Wish trophies, Stell’s other solo milestones include releasing “‘Di Ko Masabi,” which was composed by National Artist Ryan Cayabyab, being included in Cayabyab’s “Gen C” show, and going viral for his “All By Myself” performance in David Foster’s concert. Despite all this, Stell said self-doubt is something that one doesn’t recover from easily, but he’s grateful to his loved ones and supporters for encouraging him to do his best. “Hindi talaga mawawala sa’tin magkaroon ng [doubt] pero [masaya ako na] may mga taong tumutulak sa likod natin para maniwala sa kakayahan natin,” he said. 

  

Stell also addressed the recent viral videos of himself including his “Defying Gravity” performance at the Mall of Asia and his guest appearance on the noontime show “It’s Showtime,” saying he appreciates getting known beyond his performance skills. “Nagugulat na nga lang po ako, na may [time] na sunod-sunod ang mga videos na nagvaviral online. Mapa-singing man siya or TikTok, or guesting ko sa ‘It’s Showtime,’ nakakatuwa na na-appreciate nila ang contents, I’m happy and thankful na nakikita ako ng tao not just in singing and performing kasi I’m just a normal person,” he said.
