‘Gary V: On Higher Ground’ at Music Museum
GARY V opens the summer season with a series of 8 concerts
at the Music Museum, marking his 29th anniversary in the industry and the 25th
year of his company Manila Genesis Entertainment & Management, Inc.
Stricken by Type 1 juvenile diabetes for 30 years now, this unmatched performer
has been a shining beacon of inspiration in the country and he remains
complication-free and still, on top of his game. Gary has consistently inspired
his millions of fans through his craft as a singer, musician, songwriter, video
producer, dancer, actor, musical arranger and a multi-awarded television
host/performer for 9 years on the undisputed top-rating musical variety show,
“ASAP.”
After visiting typhoon victims in Cagayan De Oro and Iligan
for UNICEF, Gary V jumpstarted the year with a new segment on “ASAP 2012”
entitled “With Love: Gary V” – a spin-off of his platinum CD under Star Records
and his much-talked about television special which aired seven times on ABS-CBN
and MYX in 2011 and twice on The Filipino Channel. The segment features Gary as
he showcases stories of love, forgiveness, redemption, and faith while he sings
songs that celebrate the beauty and goodness of humanity. “With Love Gary
Valenciano,” the CD compiles the soap opera and movie theme songs which he
performed and recorded for ABS-CBN and Star Cinema. Just this March, Gary,
together with the ASAP team, flew to Cagayan De Oro to shoot a video with a
courageous flood victim for his segment.
All these efforts let led to “On Higher Ground,” a fundraiser for UNICEF
and the Shining Light Foundation, two faithful partners dear to Gary V, who has
been National Ambassador for UNICEF for 14 years now.
In his stellar career, one of Gary’s most celebrated
corporate relationships was with Coca-Cola with whom he had a contract for over
ten years. Two years ago, he was tapped to launch their refreshing product,
Real Leaf, and this year was invited again to record “Tuloy Ang Happiness” the
100th Year official anthem of Coca-Cola with Sarah Geronimo and Someday Dream,
with powerful appearances at the Gala Night at Makati Shangrila as well as the
“Concert Ng Bayan” at SM MOA last March 26.
For his concert series at Music Museum, fans can look
forward to witnessing Gary V in his best element as he performs his greatest
hits as well as some of today’s hottest chart-toppers, party anthems, and
homegrown favorites. Fans can also expect groundbreaking and pioneering
technology and excellent audio-visuals through their corporate partners
Videosonic and Soundcheck.
“I’m very excited and at the same time a bit nervous because
we have come up with new routines and a lot of surprises for this series,” says
Gary. “I am particularly excited for our opening production number. It will be
awesome. I really hope it works the way I envisioned it.” Gary V will be performing with two
world-class musicians, Awit Awards 2008 Best Female/Best New Female Singer
Julianne and Juan Miguel Salvador, formerly of Rage Band and now the musical
director of Authority, which represented the country in the 2005 Global Battle
of the Bands in London.
