He seeks to promote the traditional music of his home province of Pampanga both through original compositions and by taking older songs and setting them to a modern beat.

Rita, Teatru Ima and Teatru Kapampangan; as performer in shows and stage productions from Hollywood to New York to Sydney; as choreographer of shows like ASAP and SOP and of concerts featuring Lea Salonga, Kenny Loggins, Gary Valenciano, Sarah Geronimo, Martin Nievera, Ogie Alcasid, Regine Velasquez, Kuh Ledesma, Rachel Anne Go, Christian Bautista, etc.
Alviz’ songs have become a staple for parties, school programs, town fiestas, and even political campaigns; his performers always start, stop and steal the show; and the premiere night of his original zarzuelas are always the highlight of Pampanga’s cultural calendar.
And Alviz’ latest production, I Love Pope Francis: The Musical, co-produced by HAU, was staged at the Cultural Center of the Philippines and was seen by cardinals and bishops from all over Asia.
