The pursuit for the true passion of one's life is seemingly endless. This doesn't mean that the journey has to be lonely or daunting — take it from TikTok and YouTube viral sensation Justin Taller.

If you've scrolled through your For You Page (that's FYP to the Gen Z's) lately, you may have stumbled upon this charming young singer-slash-vocal coach as he tries to impart a nugget or two of vocal basics.

You may have even grown familiar with his blue background plus mic plus pop filter set-up. Better yet, you may have even found yourself humming along to his many covers on YouTube, particularly his most viral mashup of the History of OPM.

This is how Justin Taller shares his love — nay, passion — for music. Indeed, it's a love that he's been tirelessly upholding in him since he was a child. If you love music, too, read on for some inspiration.

The 'altar voice'

Justin fell in love with music and singing the classic Filipino way — through karaoke.

With every 5-peso coin slotted into the big, brazen machine, he found himself more and more drawn into the allure of singing. With every cheer from his loved ones — his lola and aunts and uncles who served as his first ever live audience — during family reunions and gatherings, he found his flame for music further ignited.

With every word of encouragement from his mother — pushing him to perform at every opportunity possible and supporting his dream every step of the way, he realized his desire to perform with the gift of his voice.
