ROLAND ABANTE

A fisherman from the Philippines, 45-year-old Roland Abante found his love for singing when he became a staple at his local karaoke bar. He soon caught the eyes and ears of music lovers throughout his town and on social media with his unexpected crooner-like vocals and humble personality. His rendition of Michael Bolton’s “When a Man Loves a Woman” stunned the “America’s Got Talent” judges during his audition and surprised the audience with his powerful voice. Roland is looking forward to continuing his journey while making a name for himself beyond the Philippines.
