Icky is a Chameleon

icky talks

It’s hard to really pinpoint who Icky really is. He adapts, and he changes. He’s basically a chameleon.

The most loyal of Y101 listeners would probably be familiar with Icky. He’s that warm and friendly voice that perks up from your radio every Sunday on Midday Vibes. And take what you get from Icky’s radio persona, it isn’t hard to notice how passionate he seems with his music and by being on the radio in general. He speaks in a carefree and comforting manner, that you could even say certainly handling the radio is Icky’s primary love.

But that’s the thing. Icky loves a lot of things. He enjoys a whole lot of different activities, and he easily makes friends with different class of people. It’s hard to tell what Icky is most interested in because he’s passionate in a lot of projects in his life. Nobody is really sure what the man is most identifiable with, and even Icky himself doesn’t know. Some people know him as Icky as the Y101 weekend host, Barney as a veteran in the radio industry, Sir Frederick as part of the business sector, and as an academe, and to his kids he is dad.

I do a lot of things. I’m not limited to one thing. I get bored easily if I keep doing the same thing that’s why I try to indulge in many different things”.

Icky admits that “he spreads himself too thin” and that he basically has a different persona whenever and wherever each is needed in the situation. He adapts to his different set of friends and he quickly enjoys their company.

If I’m with my younger friends whom I share a common hobby with, I would act differently with them with how I act with, let’s say, my peers in the academe. When I hang out with my friends in the business sector, I put on a persona that’s different with the way I behave with my friends in the radio station”.

Our weekend radio host even admits that sometimes it gets a little bothersome for him to have to change or adapt in different scenarios of his life. But overall though, Icky is happy with the diversity of his friends and acquaintances. Being open to learn new things about different people is what makes Icky who he is. He’d enjoy what other people enjoy and he tries to stay connected all the time.

That’s why it’s hard to really get to know who I am. Sometimes I even surprise myself when I learn I can do new things or don’t. I change and adapt. I’m a weird guy, to put it bluntly”.
