Julie Anne San Jose

To release new album

The release of her very own album was a reality waiting to happen for Kapuso pop superstar and internet musical sensation Julie Anne San Jose.

After building a credible reputation as a child singer trained by some of the country’s best mentors, Julie Anne emerged from the crowd quite distinctly by virtue of sheer talent. Her success on the internet, with a single Youtube music video of hers registering close to 14 million hits already ( a cover of Nicki Minaj’s “Super Bass”), makes her evidently the local artist to watch out for. Julie Anne is definitely someone who showcases what it takes to be pitted against the best of international talents.

Julie Anne’s first ever solo album will be set in motion very soon as she has signed an exclusive recording contract with GMA Records, the recording and digital media distribution arm of media giant GMA Network, Inc.

The contract- signing and press conference was held at the GMA Network Center Feb. 20. Julie Anne is set to launch her first album under GMA Records in the middle of this year.

Although her first TV appearance was when she joined Eat Bulaga’s “Little Miss Philippines ” contest when she was three years old, Julie Anne launched her professional singing career in 2005 as a member of the teenage singing group “Sugar Pop.” The group was a mainstay in the now defunct Sunday noontime musical variety show “S. O. P.” Having found her niche, she went on as a solo artist under the management of the GMA Artist Center, the talent development and management department of the Kapuso Network.

Julie Anne is seen every Sunday in the musical variety show Party Pilipinas on GMA- 7. She will also topbill the teen romance movie “Just One Summer” with fellow Tween star Elmo Magalona, which will be shown in nationwide theaters in the second quarter of the year.
