Trivia
In 2007, he won the Best R&B Single for his song "My Girl" at the Urban Music Awards in Australia and New Zealand. Regarding the reception of his song "Party Up," Cruz said, "I feel like it's been good. For me, it's not about having a No.1 record. I focus on making good music that the people like. I've seen so many artists have so much more than me [with regards to] the deals that they get. But I haven't needed a job since about 2004. I've learnt how to make money off music. I just love putting out records and I love the response "Party Up" has been getting. I feel like I'm always going to be the guy who makes these street anthems. One day, if it crosses over, thank God. But my thing is making music I like, putting it out and if the people love it - great!"

He immigrated from the Philippines to Australia with his family when he was 3.
