Despite the numerous hit songs, awards and recognition, Saturno would always welcome the chance to learn more songwriting techniques. In October of 2000, he joined a songwriting workshop in Goslar, Germany, thru the invitation of famous American songwriter, Allan Roy Scott. He had the chance of meeting and collaborating with international songwriters like Allan Rich (composer of “I Wanna Run to You” by Whitney Houston), Oleta Adams, singer/composer of the song “Get Here” and many others.
On May 26, 2006, Vehnee Saturno celebrated his 25th year in the songwriting business, with a musical extravaganza at the Araneta Coliseum. Rightfully so, Mr. Martin Nievera opened the show with Saturno’s first certified hit, “Be My Lady.” Some of the country’s biggest performers who joined the momentous event and sang Saturno hits were Jessa Zaragoza, Dingdong Avanzado, Rachelle Ann Go, Jay-R, MYMP, Kyla, Mark Bautista, and many more. It was a fitting tribute to a man whose contribution to the local music industry is definitely a tough act to follow.
Refusing to rest on his laurels, Vehnee Saturno tirelessly continues to write and produce songs. Amazingly, he has not lost his magic, as he remains one of the most sought-after songwriters in the industry. He is currently doing projects for some Filipino artists, who hope to make it big in the international music scene.
