Jennylyn Mercado (born May 15, 1987) is a Filipina actress and singer. She became famous after winning in the first season of StarStruck, a reality-based talent search show of GMA Network in the Philippines.
Jennylyn started out as a recording artist, in 1999, with Alpha Records through the recommendation of her voice coach Susanna Pichay. She was with the singing group G4 of Nonoy Tan. Unfortunately, two of the co-members did not continue on so the group and the planned album was scrapped. But the group was able to record two songs. Though her short experience with the group dismayed her, it developed her love for singing.
Why Is She Famous?
Back in 2003, as a teenage high school student, Jennylyn Mercado busted onto the Filipino pop culture scene in StarStruck, a reality-based talent search. As the lone female “survivor,” Mercado instantly became a household name in her native land. Since then, she has worked in film and TV, but her beauty and voice will prove to be her ticket to North American celebrity. She has been recording music since 1999, but in 2006, she performed her first major concert, signed multiple lucrative endorsement deals (including deals with Pepsi and Pantene), and recorded the breakthrough album Letting Go.
