Garth Garcia (1992), is a Filipino-American singer, producer, and fashion icon based in Los Angeles, California.
He gained recognition as a finalist in the ABS-CBN reality singing competition "Star in a Million" in 2006.[1] Since then, he has made a name for himself in the entertainment industry and has been involved in various projects, including concerts, recordings, and collaborations.[2]
Life and career[edit]
Garcia's passion for music started at a young age, and he began singing in church choirs in Guam, where he grew up. He later moved to the Philippines to pursue his dream of becoming a singer, and it was there that he joined "Star in a Million." Although he did not win the competition, Garcia impressed the judges and the audience with his vocal prowess and stage presence.[3]
After "Star in a Million," Garcia signed with Ivory Music & Video,[4] a record label based in the Philippines. He released his debut album, "Garth Garcia," in 2008, which included the hit single "Pangarap Ko Ang Ibigin Ka". He also collaborated with other Filipino artists, such as Sarah Geronimo, Jay R, and Jaya.[5][6][7]
In 2012, Garcia moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career in the American music industry. He continued to release music, including the singles "All I Wanna Do" and "Stay" in 2017, and the EP "Let's Just Dance" in 2018. He also collaborated with Grammy-nominated duo The Jackie Boyz on the single "Together Again" in 2022.[8][9]
Aside from music, Garcia is also known for his fashion sense.[10] He often makes bold statements on stage and in his music videos through his unique style. He has been featured in fashion magazines and has worked with designers such as Michael Cinco.[2]
In 2022, Garcia received recognition from the The Outstanding Filipino Americans (TOFA) Awards,[2] along with other notable Filipino Americans such as Michael Cinco and Bretman Rock.[11]
Garcia continues to be active in the entertainment industry and has expressed interest in collaborating with other artists, such as Regine Velasquez and Kevin Hermogenes,[7] a finalist in the reality singing competition "Idol Philippines".
