He was born Fidelio Delabajan Casas III on the 20th of May 1988.
His ‘star’ as a potential singer started when he sang at a student council election in Placer, Masbate. He was still a third grader back then. From that experience, he was confident enough to join singing tilts.
In Legaspi, he pursued Business Administration, but had to quit due to financial constraints. When his sister asked him to come to Manila in 2006, he did not let any opportunity pass by, he auditioned for Pinoy Pop Superstar, but it was only on his second attempt that he finally made it and joined the Year 3 of the said singing competition produced by GMA-7 and was hosted by Asia’s Songbird Regine Velasquez.
Among the many appearances on television he had, he specifically remembers those of that on Little Star on GMA-7 - portrayed Jiro Manio’s friend (2010), Pilipinas Got Talent (2010), Diz Iz It (2010), ANC’s Morning Show (2010), Eat Bulaga (2009), and was also a house singer for Singing Bee (2007) along with Apples Chiu, Michael Cruz and Led Soprepeña. He also sang in Echoes of Dreams concert with Lea Salonga (2009) at the Araneta Coliseum.
Third also had a share of film exposure when he took on a lead role for an independent film titled ‘Crossing Boundaries’ and produced by the National Youth Commission in 2008.
Ronan Keating’s ‘If Tomorrow Never Comes’ and Michael Bublé’s ‘Home’ and ‘The Way You Look Tonight’ are among his favorite songs.
