band where they played mostly at school events and
functions. Around that time she was also learning
how to play the guitar.

at University of Santo Tomas in Manila, Philippines
where she majored in Voice. She was a vocalist in
a seven-piece band called the Majestics where they
played in nightclubs and supper clubs in Manila.
