Tweet

Don’t miss out on the MYX Music Awards, the only music awards show in the Philippines that is aired live on television and is available for streaming over MYX’s official website (www.myxph.com).

The past year saw walls being torn down in the local music scene, where songs and music videos went past what the Philippine audience is used to. When it comes to music, even borders between local television networks and record labels don’t seem to exist anymore.

This year, not only the country’s top bands and musicians who are nominated for different awards will be part of putting together the Philippines’ biggest awards night for music—even showbiz’s stars who are dedicated fans and followers of the local music scene will be taking on the stage to show their support at the MYX Music Awards this year.

The crossover between music and videos stands out even more this year, with the likes of The Voice of the Philippines contestants taking the stage, along with Julia Barretto, Jodi Sta. Maria, Kaye Abad, Tom Rodriguez, Dennis Trillo, Janella Salvador, Jane Oineza, Khalil Ramos, Marco Gumabao, Meg Imperial, Robi Domingo, Gretchen Ho, and many more.

Apart from that, expect intense performances from top music acts, such as Up Dharma Down, Jonalyn Viray, KZ Tandingan, Christian Bautista, Jay-R, Kyla, Sam Concepcion, Quest, Thyro, and Yumi.

This year, MYX will also be declaring the highly anticipated announcement of 2014’s MYX Magna Awardee, given to a historically groundbreaking music act. The MYX Magna Award was given to those who have shaped the local music scene. Over past years, this award has been given to the likes of Lea Salonga, Ryan Cayabyab, Regine Velasquez, Jose Mari Chan, the Eraserheads, Gary Valenciano, Apo Hiking Society, and Sharon Cuneta. This year’s awardee delivered some of Pinoy rock’s catchiest tunes, often adding their own unique humor into their songs.

Don’t miss out on the MYX Music Awards! Check out the streaming over MYX’s official website (www.myxph.com). Catch it on Wednesday (March 26) at 9:00pm, with replays on March 28 at 7:30pm, March 29 at 2:30pm, March 30 at 10:30am, and March 31 at 1:00am.

Watch out for international recording artist Renee Olstead in "Summertime," an exclusive dinner concert performance at the Isla Grand Ballroom, Edsa Shangri-La, Manila on March 29, Saturday.

Fall in love with Renee's special rendition of timeless compositions "Someone to Watch Over Me," "Breaking Up is Hard to Do" and "Summertime" among other chart-topping hits.

Olstead had released a self-titled album of jazz songs and pop standards for Warner Bros Records. Her musical talent was discovered by composer David Foster who produced her album during 2004. A follow-up album entitled Skylark also produced by Foster.

In 2012 Olstead joined PETA's campaign to free Maali from captivity at the Manila zoo where she has been alone for the last 3 decades. Mali is in need of proper medical care, more space and the companionship of other elephants. "I only watched Mali for a few minutes, and the entire time I was there, she stood in one place with her trunk to the ground. As I was leaving the zoo, I looked back and saw her there. I realized that her life is probably never much different from that. Every minute of every day, Mali is deprived of everything that is natural and important to her. It makes my heart break."

Edsa Shangri-La, Manila and Laurel Media usher in the summer season with famed international recording artist Renee Olstead in "Summertime," an exclusive dinner concert performance at the Isla Grand Ballroom, Edsa Shangri-La, Manila on March 29, Saturday.
