Regine Velasquez - Singer, Actress, Entertainer

Regine Velasquez is one of the finest singer and actress in Asia who rose to fame worldwide by having a magnificent vocal prowess.

After of all the success in her career for more than 20 years in the business, Velasquez is the only artist who is still active in all the aspects of the business such as in album/concert scene, drama/television shows and also her movies are always successful even if she is already on her late 30's.

Low Key

As being said, she consider her success as fruits of her hard work as we take a trip down through her humble beginnings. She is truly a Pinoy pride!

• She is the first Filipino to stage a solo concert at the Main Hall of Carnegie Hall, part of Carnegie Hall's centennial-year concert series.
• She has sold more than 5 Million albums making her the best selling Filipino Artist in the Philippines. Also in Asia she has sold more than 1 Million.

• PolyGram Records released Velasquez's first pan-Asian studio album, Listen Without Prejudice in 1994. The album featured "In Love with You" with Jacky Cheung, "Follow the Sun," "What Kind of Fool Am I?," and "Reason Enough."
