Wasn't Arnel.
Turns out he is Wang Lee Hom from Taiwan EXCEPT he was born and raised in New York and speaks with zero accent. Believe me, all the girls in the bakery knew EXACTLY who he was!

Here is a You Tube of him just talking. He doesn't sing like Perry or anything, but he sure is cute. Has been a major act in the Asian music scene for ten years, has a Masters Degree from the Berkelee (sp?) School of Music here in the US. Got the record deal in asia when he was in college.
Just for fun, in case you are interested.
