-

James Reid, Sam Concepcion and Billy Crawford, three of the country’s most popular singers, actors and all-around media personalit­ies, have banded together to become The CR3W and are now all set for the coolest, sonic mood-filled Big Dome concert ever on April 5. Billy Crawford, a singer, dancer, comedian and host, started out as a child actor in the Philippine­s before relocating to the United States and then launching his career as a teen idol in Europe. From his base in France he came up with charting tunes like the platinum-selling Urgently in Love, Mary Lopez, Trackin’, When You Think About Me, You Didn’t Expect That and Stormy Nights.

He resumed his career in the Philippine­s and has since become one of the most popular hosts in local television, with shows like Your Face Sounds Familiar, Pinoy Dream Academy and Pilipinas Got Talent.

He is at present one of the judges in the World of Dance competitio­n show.

Billy is set to return to the hit charts with the release of his new album, which includes the hot single Filipina Girl.

James Reid is a star of the screen, Diary ng Panget, This Time, Never Not Love You and of television, On The Wings of Love, Till I Met You. He is also known for big-selling soundtrack music like No Erase, Bahala Na, On The Wings of Love and Hanap-Hanap.

James also took on the role of songwriter and producer for his own label Careless Music and has released the album Palm Dreams with the singles Cool Down, Turning Up, and The Life. He has recently unloaded Summer, a duet with Nadine Lustre, for the Careless Mixtape.

He is part – as singer and co-writer – of the new single, Filipina Girl, a collaborat­ion with Billy Crawford and Marcus Davis Jr., that is part of Billy’s upcoming album.

Sam Concepcion, also a singer and actor, made his mark in theater in the title role of the musical Peter Pan. He made a big splash in motion pictures as the male lead of the musical I Do Bidoo-Bidoo.

He has since alternated between acting in films and recording. Among his hit songs are Dati with Tippy Dos Santors, Kontrabida, No Limitation­s, Isang Daan and Kalsada.

Sam’s latest single release is the ballad Bukas Makalawa, which was composed by Thyro Alfaro for the soundtrack of the movie Para Sa Broken Hearted, in which he also starred.

James, Sam and Billy will surely rock the Big Dome with their trendy sounds on April 5 as The CR3W.
