Short Stories 6: Under My Skin, My First Time

It is an absolute joy to entertain people of all ages with music that is timeless.



I was a ball of nerves the first time I took the stage as front-woman of a big jazz band. The thought of singing infront of a huge crowd at the Philippine FĂȘte de la Musique was both exciting and daunting. On June 25, 2011, I embraced the jitters and shakily gave my performance on the main stage at Fort Bonifacio Global City, having just gotten off of a plane from Singapore, literally.

Thank you to Xavier Virata for these precious stills.

And thank you to Martin Uy & Steph Nguyen for capturing my very nervous first public note! 


*Thank you to The Executives Band for having me, and to Ricky Quiogue for the fun duet! 
*Also, thank you to Ralph Mendoza and the Philippine Young Star team for the introductory write up.

So I caught your attention with a deceiving innuendo, but hopefully this blog post is just as interesting as what you thought you were going to see. ;)
