While being a VJ and a social media influencer can be a tough job, Cruz has revealed that being a VJ is certainly a fun job.

In an interview with PEP.ph, Cruz explained more about it: “As a MYX VJ, I'm having so much fun, actually. I just started about a month ago. I got to be both people at the same time—while being a blogger, I can still be a VJ. There's no really more fun job, I think I'd rather do the same.”

Career as a Visual Artist

During the pandemic, Cruz rekindled her passion for the arts. In 2021, Cruz launched her first exhibit called Figure Study. Showcasing her eye-catching pieces, all 14 of her works were purchased on the very first day, based on a report.

Nearly a year later, Cruz held her second exhibition called Nympheas. Like her first exhibition, it was the same story with Cruz successfully selling all her works. Later on, Cruz also facilitated her third exhibition called Paradis Perdus.

For Cruz, art certainly holds a special place in her heart.

In an interview with alike, Cruz opened up on her art: “Art is where I feel most at home. I’ve always believed that growing up, it’s very important to do what you feel you need to do. I’ve always wanted to promote the essence of being a woman and promote the beauty of women through figurative art.”

Moreover, she didn't forget to credit the presence and support of her parents.

In the same conversation with alike, Cruz had this to say: “Growing up in a creative household led me to expose myself to the arts. My dad was into collecting paintings from local artists while my mom was into fashion. I’m just really blessed to have supportive parents.”

Earlier this year in March, Cruz successfully represented the Philippines at the Tokyo Tower Art Fair by launching her first exhibition overseas, per reports.. Cruz will be holding her second international art exhibition in Barcelona in November 2023.
