Morpheus: Born of Italian and Jewish/German descent, the 26-year-old from Charlotte, North Carolina endeared himself to Filipinos by singing well-known Filipino pop songs on his videos on YouTube. “My best friend in the US is Pinoy. Growing up around his wonderful family including his adorable karaoke-loving grandfather was my first introduction to Filipinos,” he said. “When I started performing on cruise ships after high school there were a lot of Pinoys working on board and a lot of them became my good friends. It was some of these friends that first invited me to visit the Philippines.”
