Pinoy chosen to sing theme song of DreamWorks' 'Kung Fu Panda'
May 14, 2008 
Teenage pop star Sam Concepcion was chosen by American film studio DreamWorks to sing the theme song of its latest animated film, “Kung Fu Panda”.
Concepcion will record the song “Kung Fu fighting” for the movie.
The actor-singer said he was delighted to hear the news from his manager, Carlo Orosa, and Film Distributor Selena de Venecia that he was chosen by Dreamworks to sing the theme song for the movie.
DreamWorks is the movie studio founded by acclaimed producer-director Steven Spielberg.
“With Universal Records, pinagawan po kami ng mga demos. So I made the demo, kinanta ko po and then we gave it to United International Pictures. Tapos they sent it to Dreamworks and the office of Steven Spielberg approved the song,” said Concepcion.
His music video was taken in a Chinese temple in Malabon, Metro Manila and will be featured at the end of the movie, which will be shown in the Philippines this June.
His music recordings, meanwhile, will be included in the Asian International CD soundtrack of the movie. Korean superstar Rain is also featured in the same CD soundtrack. “It really means a lot. It’s really an honor to be the first local, Filipino artist to sing the theme song of a Dreamworks film, and it’s really exciting for me and it’s one of the biggest projects I will do for this year,” he said. He thanked ABS-CBN’s “Little Big Star” for the giving him the break after wining the contest together with two well-known Filipino singers Charice Pempengco and Makisig Morales. - With reports from Mario Dumaual, TV Patrol World
