Archie D. moves December concert

FILIPINO-AMERICAN hit maker Archie D. announces that he is rescheduling his upcoming concert this Dec. 18 and 20 “due to extraordinary circumstances beyond control.”

In an email message sent to this paper, concert coordinator Helene Romarate explained Archie D.’s reason for doing so has something to do with his circumstances at present.

She, however, declined to give details saying it’s too personal.

“He is extremely saddened about having to postpone the December tour and looks forward to rescheduling his tour and returning to the Philippines in 2010,” Romarate said.

Both his “Built To Sound Good” Matinee Show at the SMC Gym and Gala Show at the “10” Disco has to be moved indefinitely till next year and the exact date is yet to be announced, Romarate added.

“Archie D. believes in pure fun but also puts divine intervention a huge signal for any of his successful endeavors. He is sending all his show giveaways to Pagadian in advance and plans to treat them another set of giveaways on 2010,” ,” Romarate said in behalf of the singer.

“I believe in the words ‘give and rapport’ and these little token of stuff should be in their hands already and not to be hoarded because by holding them I might lose my only outcry which is to perform for them,” Romarate quoted Archie’s message to his fans.

Born and raised in Pagadian City, Archie D. left the country in 1992 and settled in Queens, New York where he studied music production, synthesis and audio engineering.

A seasoned professional arranger, composer, producer, engineer, songwriter, singer and musician, Archie made waves in the 80’s with his contemporaries like Gretchen Barreto, Randy Santiago, Pops Fernandez and Regine Velasquez, among others.
