My Guitar Princess Starts Today on GMA

This May 7, you’ll love what GMA Network has in store for you. There’s no other love that would equate to a mother’s love. Every morning they’ll be giving you a treat in their new shown MY GUITAR PRINCESS.

Julie Anne says “I’m very very excited for you to see the story of Selena and her Mom, plus her music. I am giddy about the story because she gets to choose between Justin and Elton, thank you GMA and GMA Public Affairs for trusting me with this project. My last musical was years ago and I couldn’t even remember it, but this is lighter and I really enjoyed every bit as it exposes the story of Selena. I also get to do music, totally relate to her and how passionate I did become with each song we’ve come up with. Gil is smart, timid lazy, but so fun to work with. I can’t wait to see it on TV. My Dad really didn’t want me to be in show business because he feared how complicated my life would be, when I lost and still passed through auditions, GMA came to me and gave me a break, I finished my studies and everything fell into place. I didn’t have sleep, but it’s a matter of time management, passion and priorities. It was a relief when I graduated college, eventually they allowed me to work and love my music. Hard work and patience, that will be something to do before you achieve your dreams.”

Sheryl Cruz who plays Adele says “It’s a blessing to work with her, it’s very close to my heart and I experience this in real life. I have a kid, I am proud to see how smart they are, very similar to my daughter. With Adele, she was a soul diva so in a way she inherited our talent. She has her own love life, that will be interesting. I’ll be also with Yaya Dolly, so it’s light, a good musical, even Gil has a song number.”

Jazz Ocampo plays Katy, she says “We are fashion bloggers, a little over the top, will be a little nice later on, you will love and hate us, but you have to watch. I don’t have a specific style, I go for magazine looks, the previous trends, I am more into that.”

Gil Cuerva who plays Elton says “I am a popstar, I’ll be singing, I’m really thankful to be with great cast members. Julie is so talented, and it tells us the story of a family, I hope you love this.”

This is about creativity and pursuing your dreams, this starts on May 7. You have to note they have a long list of characters but all of them have some connection to music. Julie Anne also had to be hands on, everybody helped in forming the numbers, the songs are perfect. You’ll also see the guitar princess have her own Youtube album, perhaps some digital stores very soon. It’s their dream to actually put it online, and they can’t wait for you to hear and see them all!

The Director promises you’ll feel the environment, the limit is your imagination and of course even with the small budget they’ll have to work with (he says) you will never be shortchanged because they assure you this would be something interesting you'll stick with every day. 

Make sure you subscribe to their Youtube  channel once the singing starts, yes everything will be uploaded there too so stay tuned!

Julie Ann San Jose Releases New Single!

Super duper gorgeous Julie Ann San Jose was within our midst a few days ago. She just came from a DAYOFF episode taping and was extremely running on adrenaline during this event. She also won in MYX Music Awards which happened a few days ago but was unable to get her trophy. She had commitments that same evening and had to leave early, so we did the next best thing and asked her to do an acceptance speech for winning the Favorite Mellow Video for the single Right Where You Belong. Here's the rest of our interview!

She knows what she's doing and so confident, her music career is still in the green and flourishing so she's got nothing to worry about. You might have also heard in the video interview that she's launching a new single called "Kung Maibabalik Ko Lang" which is a revival from a previous group/band in the late 80's to early 90's (not the one from Regine). It was also used for the Koreanovela "Future's Choice". It felt hopeful, romantic, to go back and look for love again. I know what you're thinking, haha!

 
 

Julie Ann San Jose started telling stories about the DAYOFF episodes she's also doing. "The process of getting Tuba is super hard. We had support, we had professionals to do harnesses and heights, plus an ambulance nearby which people should wait for because it'll show on April. The first one was with the Coast Guards and I had semi training on how to be one. I was scared of the water, especially because it's Manila bay, the oil, the waste water, I was scared. Then we had to do rescue sequences and had to flip life boats, it's not as simple as I thought it was going to be. I had to jump 20 feet from the sheep and clean the ship's sides. I was with Ate Mae Bautista and that helped a lot. 

The second episode though was a little easy because I just had to cook and sell banana cue. Although I'm always getting wounds from these episodes, I felt these are real battle scars. I have one for every province we went to I think. The third one was a little icky because we had to roam around and collect KB (Kanin Baboy or food for pigs), we had to feed them, we had to clean cages, I wasn't so happy. Especially the part where we had to sell them off after taking care of them for quite some time. 

The fourth episode was in Prince David in Ateneo, that's a 20 storey building and we had to put stickers on it and do it manually. Like a swing, one step and you're gonna fall. The gondola wasn't as easy as I thought, I was safe because of all the harness but think about the whole ordeal when the thing had 4 people on it plus Ate Mae with me. The men who pulled us up wasn't as healthy looking too, but I'm so glad I survived that! There's also an eel episode (igat) which are usually pests, it's so slimy and I didn't like that at all. I got stuck at that challenge because of all that slime, like giant worms. I'd rather have snakes than that. It's good that they don't bite and they live in muddy waters. Although they were already electrocuted, it was still hard, so think of the regular people doing this on a daily basis, they need this to survive. I also don't want to get penalized but I fell a lot in the mud later on because I didn't do well during the whole episode. You should all watch out for that soon because I will do more of it this year!"  

As for plan for another concert, she says YES there will be another one. She plans to do it in Araneta Coliseum and hopes her fans, her friends would support her just like the last one. She's a strong woman and she'll be coming out with more single soon from her album DEEPER which is still out on stores, music stations, record bars too! Follow GMA Artist Center's social media channels to get updates on when the concert will happen, it's going to be this year she hopes!

Frencheska Farr Holds Successful Concert

Frencheska Farr in Concert at Teatrino Promenade

It was awesome. It was something she had really coming because Frencheska Farr is a damn fine lady with sheer talent and early bank-ability. Someone who could sing would've been already impressive but she did a couple of dance numbers that also did the same. This is something that she thought would be the perfect event for her fans and something that she could dedicate to her Mom who has been able to support her all these time.

Frencheska Farr and the Adlib Dancers

She did a couple of covers, the most popular and recent ones which really showed her vocal range. Teatrino Promenade was also the perfect place to have this since it's closer, more intimate which is what she wanted. I also saw rows of her fans screaming in front which says a lot how they adore her. She's done her deed, she deserves to be successful because she did really work hard for it.

Then after a few songs, she had to change outfits. Guess who came along and did a spectacular version of Bang bang!
