After winning Search For a Star last year, Rachelle Ann has been unstoppable. Her self-titled debut album is now certified platinum. She headlined several successful concerts at the Araneta Coliseum with fellow champions Sarah Geronimo, Mark Bautista and rumored boyfriend Christian Bautista. In between these concerts, Rachelle Ann traveled to the US, Dubai, Guam and other parts of Asia for more live performances, all of them well-received.
The 19-year-old singer is also a sought-after celebrity endorser (she pitches for Smart, among others) and appears regularly on ASAP Mania with the other ‘champions’.
Rachelle Ann has added another feather on her cap after being is named Best Female Performer at the Guillermo Mendoza Memorial Scholarship awards. Mark Bautista is the Best Male Performer.
Soon, Rachelle Ann will be making the rounds of the Robinsons Malls to promote From the Start, the new single off her album. Her mall tour off at Robinsons Dasmariñas (April 10), Robinsons Pioneer (April 17) and Robinsons Metro East (April 24).
She will also mark her first anniversary in the business with a major solo concert at the Aliw Theater on April 29, with Mark Bautista, Christian Bautista, Jay-R and Ogie Alcasid as her special guests.
"Nakaka-isang taon pa lang ako, pero ang dami-dami nang nangyari," says Rachelle Ann. "Imagine, in such a short time, I’ve already performed at the Araneta Coliseum, and now, I’m going to have my first major concert. Kaya napakalaki ng pasasalamat ko sa Viva, because without them, baka wala ako dito."
Aside from Viva, Rachelle Ann also wants to thank her fans for their undying support.
After the April 29 concert, Rachelle Ann flies again, this time to US for another concert tour.
