He is happily married, blessed with three children and earned a bachelor's degree in medical technology at Southwestern Adventist University. He sings second tenor.
Denny, Nical and Nager started singing 10 years ago in the Philippines. When they migrated to the U.S., they formed a group with three more young men of similar love and passion for Christian music that would attract the right Hollywood producer and make the big time" in the music industry. Regular Bible studies opened to better insights and new visions that led them to adopt a new name: "LUO," (to set free) based on Romans 8:2 as suggested by Ritchie Carbajal. The group was reduced to four and cut their first album, Blessed Assurance.
The group went through a painful sifting experience and this lead to the calling of a new member and their second album, I Will Praise You, Lord.

He earned his BA degree in nursing at Mountain View College in the Philippines and is presently working at Cedar Sinai Medical Center.
