On June 2, rapper-businessman Jayson Luzadas, known as Boss Toyo, detailed how he dreamed of valuing local artists through their memorabilia.
At the media event for his song Rap Lord, which LionhearTV covered, Boss Toyo discussed why he established his business Pinoy Pawn Stars.
“Ako ginawa ko ‘yun kasi– actually inspired ‘to sa Pawn Stars– History, USA. If you’re familiar with Pawn Stars in the US. Pinapahalagahan nila doon ‘yung mga foreign athletes, sikat na mga artista doon. Eh why not dito sa atin gawin.
Boss Toyo added, “‘Yun ‘yung main purpose ko why ko ginawa ‘yung Pinoy Pawn Stars. Sumugal ako, namuhunan, I don’t know kung babalik or what, pero kasi gusto kong bigyan ng halaga ‘yung atin– ‘yung sariling atin. ‘Yung artista natin, kung singer, artista, basta– vlogger, something na may significance na matatandaan ‘yung tao.”
He then pointed out how he appreciates the hard work of Filipino artists who left a mark in the entertainment industry.
He also noted that his goal is to inspire Filipinos to respect and admire local artists and their hard work.
“Ininspire lang talaga siya kasi para lang talaga ‘to sa mga local natin. Kasi nga nakikita ko bumibili ka ng Michael Jordan, bumibili ka ng mga Travis Scott, ang mamahal niyan di ba? Eh paano ‘yung mga sarili nating artist na naghirap, na umabot ng 20 years sa industry, 10 years sa industry, sa music, like ‘yung Crazy Ass Pinoy, ang tatagal niya niyan, bakit walang halaga, bakit di natin bigyan ng halaga. Kaya ko ginawa ‘yung Pinoy Pawn Star para imulat sila.”
