ONCE a fanboy… ALWAYS a fanboy.
Hello everyone, my name is Chris and welcome to another episode of Once and Always a Fanboy.
Today’s guest is a singer, songwriter, performer, and artist whose career has constantly evolved across genres and stages. From theater productions, to General Luna, to her solo work that blends rock, jazz, and classical influences, she’s built a career defined by reinvention and creative freedom. And as a fellow musician, I feel like there’s a lot we can get into about artistry, performance, songwriting, and surviving different eras of the industry.
Fangirls and fanboys, Nicole Asensio.
