After winning in the "Musical!Die Show" of Austrian national broadcaster ORF last January, Vincent Bueno’s music career is certainly headed for the top.

In fact, Bueno makes his long-awaited debut in the European market when his first single entitled "Sex Appeal" hits Europe’s record stores on April 18, reported ABS-CBN Europe News Bureau.

Bueno is the pure-blooded Pinoy who captured the world with his winning performances at the Musical and has been dubbed as the "new crush of 2008."

After his victory, the 21-year-old took only a much-needed three-day respite and then proceeded to fulfill a very busy schedule which included theater engagements, tours and recording Sex Appeal.

The maxi CD offers three different interpretations by Bueno of the song "Sex Appeal," namely Vintage Mix, Dance Appeal and Swing Appeal.

Produced in Austria by HitSquad Records and recorded at MG Sound studio which are both Austrian outfits, "Sex Appeal" will be sold mainly in big stores such as Saturn, MediaMarkt, Libro and Cosmos.

"I would already like to thank everyone in advance for the support and trust in me. My advice is for anyone to do everything that you like to do and do it with your heart," Bueno told ABS-CBN Europe News Bureau after he successfully recorded "Sex Appeal."

Bueno says the track reminds him of the funky energy of musicians that just love to jam around.

"When Steve Coss, the producer of the song and I worked on that track, we were able to find a way to pimp that commercial song into different styles and flows that`s why I enjoy this song so much," Bueno told ABS-CBN Europe News Bureau.

"As the title says, it is a very sexy high-energy sound. The song is about a girl that just blows my mind and I try to explain in different ways how good she looks like," Bueno said.

"There are three versions: a retro version, an electro dance version, & a jazz swing version which is my first love," Bueno added.

Sample of the song and videos can be seen at www.digitalpinoy.org, the website that has intensively campaigned and solicited support for Bueno both from his entry at the Musical and even after his victory.

"I have been behind the scenes of Vinz’s recording and other activities. I'm a member of his "management team," responsible for the site and video," Bueno’s uncle King told ABS-CBN Europe News Bureau.

King was instrumental in giving his nephew the maximum exposure through the power of the Internet, mainly via the DigitalPinoy website which he maintains.

Next week, Bueno will hold an autograph session with Libro where an autograph-signing and photo session will take place. A lucky fan may also get a "Dinner with Vincent" prize.

Apart from touring record stores promoting his first single, Bueno’s agenda is already hectic because of the planned summer launch of his first CD album which will include some of his original compositions.

On June 20, Bueno together with his band "Convince," will perform live at the "Asia Kiss" benefit concert in Vienna.

The gala show is expected to gather the largest Asian communities in Austria, proceeds of which will go to CFC FFL Restoration Village in the Philippines.

Bueno will also be a special guest at the annual "Starnacht am Wörthersee " or The Night of The Stars on Lake Worth on July 12.

Staged for the seventh time this year, the legendary open-air show will feature national and international artists performing in a grand music show on the famous Lake Worth.
