Career
As a high school student, Musñgi served as a DJ for a local pop radio station where a relative is a manager.[4] Following his stint as a radio personality, he was tapped to provide voice as announcer in a commercial and film trailers.[3]
He became known to the wider public when he accidentally sang the nursery rhyme, "Little Peter Rabbit" over the radio which caught the attention of actress and radio personality, Helen Vela. This performance led Musñgi to be dubbed as Peter Rabbit.[3]
When People Power Revolution occurred in 1986, Musñgi joined ABS-CBN Corporation in order to return on the air after it was closed by the declaration of martial law by Ferdinand Marcos in 1972. He became the main voiceover of the network since then.[3] From 1988 to 1994, he was station manager of DZMM and DWRR.[1] He is a key person on the media conglomerate's Manila Radio Division and ABS-CBN Sports.[3]
He is the father of ANC anchor, Raine Musñgi.
Style
Musñgi developed an interest in developing his voice. In his home province back then, there is no television and often listened to the radio. Musñgi said that he initially imitated the voice he hears on the radio before developing his own voice over style. He also read newspapers aloud as part of honing his voice. He has cited Joonee Gamboa as one of his inspirations in developing his voice over talent.[3]
