On October 3, 2026, Jascel Valencia A.K.A. Nerdie, headlined the Fil-Am Festival alongside Junior New System in Santa Clarita, California. Hosted by the Fil-Am Association of SCV Inc., the event was a vibrant celebration of culture, community, and family that ran from 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM.

Nerdie performed his classic song "One Time" from his 2024 album Dekada. He was then joined on stage by Eugene Fabon, also known as Bonskie, to perform their co-authored hit "Hard to Get," which celebrated its first anniversary this past June.

If you haven't had the chance to watch Nerdie and Bonskie perform together, they are definitely a must-see! In the meantime, you can catch their music video on YouTube or stream their track on platforms like Spotify and Apple Music. Despite the blazing heat that day, Nerdie’s high-energy performance was the right temperature to get the audience in the groove.
