Darren Espanto jokes 'Maui Wowie' 'made an impact in entertainment landscape'
Singer-actor Darren Espanto finds it amusing that his recent viral rendition of Kid Cudi's "Maui Wowie" on "ASAP" has led to him being called by the song's title instead of his own name.
Espanto explained that he chose to sing the song an octave higher than its original pitch because it was more comfortable for his vocal range, which contributed to its virality.
He humorously recounted how everyone he encountered at ABS-CBN, from artists to staff, addressed him as "Maui Wowie" rather than Darren.
Espanto's performance involved him wearing a black tank top and hanging from a handlebar while singing the song's chorus.
He joked that the song's viral success and his unique performance has "made an impact in the entertainment landscape."
