Garrett Bolden Releases New Album Called "CHAPTERS" Under GMA Music

 

 Fresh from his stint in Guam doing the Miss Saigon show on the island, Garett Bolden is not stopping his music journey. Right now, he's written and completed his new album called "CHAPTERS" which is under GMA Music. It's a compilation of several covers and a few original songs which he wrote specifically to personify his journey.

Garett says "Ikaw Pala is actually a Kris Lawrence song which was a hit in the early 2000's. Yes I want to have the opportunity to do TV, more theater productions. I want to explore more genres, because music preference of people change too. I want to do dance even if I have two left feet. My album title is Chapters. I would say if I were in one of those chapters, my newest single talks more about my life now. Seeing the purpose of what I'm looking for, my passion, what I love to do and share, it's what I want to pursue and want to realize, to not hold back and have a much clearer vision of what I want to do in music."

He adds "My Clash journey has been my best performance, plus the out of the country work I did for Miss Saigon. When I first heard a song by Kris Lawrence, I was a bit afraid because he has his own signature style into it. I had to put my spin and decided to perform this. Right now, I'm really happy GMA gave me the chance to write more songs and perform it, especially for the Kapuso audience."

Talking about his peers he says "Jeremiah is like a brother to me, he's going to have a concert soon. I too would want to have that experience, like a tour in different cities. That's what I want to do, to go to people and share my music. It is one of my goals this year. After Ms. Saigon, I am auditioning to several productions. I want to pursue other theater work."

For those aspiring to be great singers, Garett advises "I surround myself with great people. I don't put myself in hard situations. It helps a lot to keep the right people around you, to remind you that you can move forward."

Since The Clash Season 1, Garett is thankful that he is given the opportunities by GMA. He wants to do acting work soon and he's really ready for it. Make sure you get his album CHAPTERS available on streaming platforms worldwide. This will be released this January 27, he's also on All Out Sundays and his single is part of Bad Romeo so make sure you listen to that too.

Hitting Close to Home: Garrett Bolden Takes on MISS SAIGON in Guam

This particular achievement is something that hits close to home with Kapuso artist Garrett Bolden, The man who has succeeded to get a flourishing career in singing on The Clash, several GMA shows, here and abroad is now going to play the role of John Thomas, Chris' best friend in hit musical Miss Saigon.

He auditioned for this role and sent a video performance of Bui Doi, which means "A Dust of Life", a term used for babies born in Vietnam who have fathers in US Army/Navy/Airforce service. This wasn't something he expected to happen but once he got a call, he did several auditions and got the role later on. For those who don't know, Garrett Bolden is also a son of a GI, sadly, his Father and Step Mom passed, but glad he now has communication with his siblings that could tell him about their lives. 

 "When I looked back at my audition, I thought I wasn't going to get the role. When they told me I got it, I was nervous, this is a dream for me. First off, thank you for spending time with me today. You have all been part of my journey, our kapuso here and in Guam. For now I'll be doing a single that will be released soon on GMA Music, you can download Pwede Pa Ba on streaming sites. Let's see each other soon!"

Here's a part of the interview we had with him this afternoon:

Congratulations Garrett Bolden! Break a leg in September when the musical starts. He's leaving August 5 for rehearsals and this will surely change his life. This surely hits close to home with him, and I hope his story inspires more people.

Rachelle Ann Go's Send Off Concert: February 22!

Ms. Rachelle Anne Go will be leaving the country for her 14 month stint at London's West End to be art of the long awaited remake of Miss Saigon. She'll be playing the part of bar girl "Gigi" in the said play. Before she leaves, she'll be staging a concert entitled "Miss Rachelle The Send Off Concert" this February 22 at the Meralco Theater. This is also to celebrate her 10th successful year in show business. It was my first time to see her in the flesh and I find her really charming. In the concert, she mentions that you'll also be seeing her journey in this industry laid about in songs. She'll also include a repertoire that will also tell the story on how she ended up in theater so you'll probably see songs from Broadway in the show.

She also says the number of rock, revivals and OPM songs that she've sung all these years paid off when she finally made it to Miss Saigon. She freaked out a little bit when she got the email from the West End production and immediately said yes when the role was offered to her. She felt all her harships paid off because it's her dream to be part of Miss Saigon.

Rachelle also says she's already had a few workshops here and plans to also have some more lessons in London. She also adds that she might need to spend a few hours in school and finish something for herself when advised by other Filipina actresses who did the same. She also is a little afraid because she'll be alone in London all throughout her stay. She's excited though because she'll get to visit the country in a different light when rehearsals are done. It's going to be 2 months of grueling practice for them starting March. She'll also participate in a charity concert late February for victims of Typhoon Haiyan together with other West End staged productions and shows.

Congratulations Rachelle Ann Go! You are doing the country proud!

She will also have Erik Santos, Christian Bautista, Mark Bautista and Ms. Regine Velasquez. Addlib Dance Crew will be also performing with her on stage. This is going to be one nostalgic night of songs and performances. Make sure you get your tickets at TicketWorld Manila 891-9999 or visit their website at www.ticketworld.com.ph.
