Charice’s mother, Raquel Relucio, had and still has a very musical ear, on May 10th 1992; she gave birth to a beautiful baby girl, Charmaine Clarice Relucio Pempengco in Cabuyao, Laguna, in the Philippines, not expecting the works to follow in this baby girl’s future.

Raquel noticed Charice could sing very high when she sang “Happy Birthday” at the age of 2; so taking her music experience into an account, she started teaching and training Charice at the tender age of 4, along with Raquel’s sister. With a lot of hard work and perseverance, Charice began singing in local contests in the Philippines when she was only 7 years old. Charice began her journey with one priority in mind, to help her mother through the hardships they went through, especially with living and finances. It was when she was 8 or 9 years old that she got onto a table and sang “My Heart Will Go On”, originally sung by the famous Celine Dion, that people realized that she is a natural performer.

About Airto This is not a real bio, just some background info…

So ’sup?
First of all my name is Aïrto. I was born on the 13th of October ‘85… I loved music ever since I was little, I grew up with music of all styles. I re-discovered music when I was about 16 years-old. Going way back in time, listening to music that kids nowadays wouldn’t usually think of listening too… Think about the buttery voice of Donny Hathaway

and the undeniable singing and composing talents of Mr. Wonder. I realized while listening to some of the memorable songs that I started improvising to the beats and melodies, change it up, sing harmonies and sometimes play some extras on my cheap old keyboard… This helped me create my own style.

I’m floating in between soul and r&b.
I love the true sound of music. No over polished studio voices, I want too hear the rawness. Nowadays it’s all about pitch correcting and about the image an artist has… I never had any musical training so I luckily i still feel raw and unpolished.

There are two projects I have been working on in the past…

I’m featured on a cd called ‘Bezigheidstherapie’ - P-Yott
