Stephen Ian Lopez Veneracion or better known in the entertainment industry as Ian Veneracion, one of the child actors who have grown much in the showbiz industry and has shown a colorful path from child actor to action star to award-winning heartthrob, will be staging a concert in Music Museum this coming July 11 & 12 entitled "IAN: IN COLOR. He'll be creating a new palette of colors in his singing career, as a legitimate concert performer.

Ian, like his love for the arts and the outdoors, takes pride in constantly seeking new adventures to tackle and new subjects to portray. Though shy and not too confident about his talent, his passion for music goes way back. "Playing music has always been a huge part of my private life, but it's only recently that I've come to realize the possibility of other people enjoying my taste in music... in the way I approach it."

Just like his multitude of roles in the movie industry, he also manages to pitch in a wide diversity of song selections, he relates that "I try to play songs in a different light, influenced by my own musical tastes."

His musical influences, which considers "old school" are Fra Lippo Lippi, The Eagles, Eric Clapton, Sting, U2, and Peter Frampton. These musical influences are what you will hear and see in the upcoming concert on July 11 and 12, 2019 at the Music Museum entitled "IAN: IN COLOR". The concert is a tell-all journey of his life, his moods and his thoughts through music. it will paint a picture of what Ian is in real life, baring his dressed down persona.

This year's concert will have a totally different approach. He reveals that, "Since it will be in Music Museum, it will be more intimate, hence more interactive. Plus, the arrangements of the songs are something I would describe as musically more playful."

If you're aware, Ian has already released his own compositions on Spotify like "We're All Alone" and "I'll Miss You the Most". So, this means that he's really serious in taking his musical career. A new form of arts for him as his canvass.

He admits that as long as there are people interested in watching his shows, he is open to it, but explains, "but the main point of this new road is a realization that whether in front of a big crowd, or just jamming with friends, I've come to terms with the fact that I can't psychologically survive without music. Just like in other forms of art, music is its own reward. The music but got me!"

Jamming with Ian in his concert are Ogie Alcasid on July 11 and Regine Velasquez-Alcasid on July 12. Other surprise guests are also expected to come and join the jam!
