Here we are, with a special episode of “On Stage Now”, and this month’s featured musician is Ruscel Torres.
Ruscel has been learning and playing music since the age of seven, first learning the piano and then other instruments, including the saxophone. He creates jazz arrangements and covers from video game music and anime. While most of his works have been solo, Ruscel has also collaborated with other musicians. At the moment, he is taking a bachelor’s degree in Jazz Studies as a freshman at the University of Santo Tomas in Manila. He also does some freelance work in arrangements, composition, and performance. Ruscel has released three compilation albums of VGM and is working on his first album titled “Crash Course!”
