Kuya Daniel Razon's uniquely dulcet voice and wistful interpretations of some of the best love songs of the past impressed the Awit Awards and received nomination for his 2007 hit album.

Razon is among the five nominees in the best new male recording artist award, which is one of the 30 major categories to be awarded by the country's prestigious and long-running music award giving group.

In his album, All My Life, Razon won the hearts of people when this album's carrier single, All My Life, first hit the radio scene in late quarter of 2007. Not long, his song surged to the top slates of several music charts with record-breaking sales for the first two months of its release.

All My Life offers seven songs of love and two original compositions. The Promise, an original composition that served as UNTV network's 2006 theme, and with its nationalistic feel, perfectly matched Razon's disposition as a public servant. Upbeat, yet easy listening new song, In My Eyes, showcased the multi-faceted artist's vocal flexibility.

Other outstanding nominees for Best New Male Recording Artist are Richard Poon for the song I'll Take Care of You, Brian Josef for Crazy But Incredible, Gabriel Valenciano for Shake Yo Thang and Miguel Aguila for Someone in the Dark. Last year, Gian Magdangal was awarded the Best New Male Recording Artist for the song Himala.

The nominee piece All My Life, which was recorded and produced by Breakthrough and Milestones Productions Inc., and EMI Records, is notable for its pretty ballad version that some reviewers raved as "more appealing than the original itself."

In My Eyes, the second carrier single, and currently playing in the airwaves, draws old and new sets of fans who will be mesmerized by Razon's calming voice. The song was composed by Krist Melecio. Other wistfully, passionate songs included in the album are What Matters Most, Just the Way You Are, Out Here On My Own, Lean On Me and She's Out of My Life.

The prestigious 21st Awit Awards gives recognition to local musical talents and boasts one of the most credible screening systems. Criteria for judging are based on vocal quality, interpretation, and musicality.
