In 2013 Lamar participated in the first season of the Philippine version of The Voice.

Both of them performed "Bohemian Rhapsody" by the band Queen.[2]

American Idol

In 2015 Lamar auditioned for the fourteenth season of American Idol. On January 27, he posted a photo on his X account (formerly Twitter), showing himself performing with a guitar and with the American Idol logo in the background.[3] [4]

From The Sea

In 2021 Lamar and Morissette tied the knot and established a musical duo, From The Sea. The name derives from his last name, which translates to '[from] the sea' in Spanish.[5] In 2022, their debut eponymous EP was released, serving as the soundtrack of their wedding.[6] On June 28, 2023, they released their first album, If We Never Happened.[7] On July 7 of the same year, the duo had their first concert together at the Music Museum titled "Feels Like Home", which also served as the launch of their debut album.[8]
