In an Instagram post, she reminisced about the moment when she auditioned to O/C executives Kean Cipriano and Chynna Ortaleza.
“Still insane to think about the time where it was 1AM, trying my best not to sound loud so my parents wouldn’t wake up, singing to [Kean] and [Chynna] on Zoom and then telling me I sound great,” she wrote. “In a blink I was then asked if I wanted to sign and join the O/C Family.”
“I have no regrets since they did help me with a lot of things. Thanks for believing in me and my music,” she added.
Meanwhile, her single “Ikaw Pa Rin,” now with over 36 milion streams, is part of the original soundtrack of the movie ‘Will You Be My Ex?’ starring Julia Barretto and Diego Loyzaga.
