Garrett Bolden Wins New Recording Artist of the Year

Well this is good news, and yes The Clash Season 1 finalist Garrett Bolden won at the 11th PMPC Star Awards for Music as the Best New Male Recording Artist of the Year. He’s joined several singing contests and have auditioned many times, but this is his first major recognition.

Garrett says “I still can’t believe it. I really just wanted to attend the awards show because it was my first nomination. I really didn’t expect to win. Of course thank you to the people who voted for me, the nomination already made me happy so I am over the moon experiencing that. The title Kapuso Soul Balladeer is not enough, to be given that is an honor. I am a solo artist but I have a band called Accento, whom I worked for 6-7 years. If people don’t see me on TV I do gigs with them. I have always been saying that I am very thankful to be staying where I am now, thank you to everyone at GMA who made this possible. I am hoping for more singles to come because I am writing my songs now, learning as we go and hopefully this will be out soon. A year ago I guested in a teleserye and hopefully I get the chance to also do other stuff. My ultimate dream is to win a Grammy, which I hope to get too. To win it was unexpected and I didn’t even stand up right away because I couldn’t believe it. It inspires me now, thanks to my supporters, fans and my family. I thought Jong was going to win, we talked after a day and we’re both happy for these blessings. I listen to South Border a lot, not to copy but get influenced even their songs in the past. I like their runs and rifts, it’s unbelievable. I will do my songs always in the middle so I get to be different, I’ll do both things so people won’t get sawa. I always ask for guidance, it’s up to me where to go. Given the odds, he wanted me to try out to be Southborders vocalist, that was just so humbling to hear that. My band was involved with my second single, they were in the video too. Hopefully they will be involved because I do get an extra boost when I sing while they are playing. I am experimenting with my sounds, they help me with the music when I write because I don’t play instruments. They’re really a lot of help.”

Garrett by the way currently appears on GMA’s All Out Sundays and has released singles “Lilipad Na” or “Handa Na Maghintay” last 2019. Make sure you catch him on these shows. Thanks to Mars Wrigley, Active White and Cobra for the stuff they had us sample. It was a nice treat!

TomCar Stars GMA's Love of My Life

You've seen this and the previews of it in between GMA programs in the last few weeks. Excited as you are, you will start to see it on February 3 on GMA's primetime slot.

They also have Coney Reyes as part of the cast, but they promise the ensemble will make the story interesting in this drama. They just saw parts of it during the presscon, they were shooting this for 7 months and some of them cried. Coney Reyes adds "You know I only accept and choose projects that challenge me and yes, working with young bloods required me to learn from them too rather than them just learning from me. Please let everyone know how good this series is because we have worked so hard on this."

There are so much to look forward to on GMA's shows this year. If you're excited for another TomCar show, this would be a good way to satisfy your cravings.

Descendants of the Sun Starts February 10

It was nice to see the actors that will portray the interesting characters of the hit Korean drama Descendants of the Sun. Some GMA Executives, Armed Forces of the Philippines, Philippine Navy and other sectors got a treat to finally see a very long video telling us a short bio of these interesting soldiers, medical personnel and their families. 

We were all surprised because after the intro, they had us watch the first episode of DOTSPH, where honestly, it was quite awesome. They probably spent a lot of time meticulously shooting and editing this, you must see it for yourself this January. 

Dingdong says "We have been waiting for this to happen and hope viewers would be able to appreciate it. We've made the story more pinoy. We're very proud of it!"

Jennylyn adds "Each scene is big, super hard to do but all worth it. We all kept ourselves in character, the director, peoole behind the scenes and actors did all their best to make this even better." Jen and Dingdong play Captain Lucas Manalo and Dr. Maxine Dela Cruz, a soldier and a doctor, who's lives intertwine, unceremoniously.

Big Boss and Beauty (of which they are fondly called) will also have Rocco Nacino and Jasmine Curtis on the helm to play Technical Seargent Diego Ramos and Captain Moira Defensor, who is also going to be an interesting love story. Jennylyn is in her element, the romcom treatment is a cool addition to the original story, I guess that will certainly be different with Pinoy humor. 

Descendants of the Sun The Philippine Adaptation will begin this February 10, 2020. The first episode is something to look forward to because it will include some back story of the different characters plus the effective little romance that Jennylyn and Dingdong could do. If we didn't know they're married we'd mistake them for a pair really.
