His first single is a Jackson 5 cover "Shake Your Body (Down to the Ground)". It was recently released on iTunes and his music video can now be seen on YTV.com.
Espanto said he didn't expect this to happen since he didn't win the competition.
But the recording industry had other plans. He was flown back to Toronto to record five songs.
"They're all cover singles, and also to shoot music videos for those singles. And we recorded the songs in just one day," he said.
It's been an inspiring and amazing ride for the talented young boy whose been singing and performing since he was 2 years old.
"Well it is a dream come true. I still can't believe this is happening to me. I hope everything still goes well in my future," he said.
His parents are proud of him and thankful for the many blessings coming his way.
"Syempre masaya. At the same time, hindi namin iniexpect na darating sa time na mabibigyan siya ng pagkakataon, the fact na hindi naman siya ang nanalo doon sa sinalihan nyang competition, he was given a chance para makapag recording nga. We're very happy and were very glad and were very excited doon sa future na haharapin niya," said the boy's father, Lyndon Espanto.
The family hopes kababayans all over the world support their son's music career.
