<\/a>At 14, \u201cPinoy Big Brother 737\u201d Teen 2nd<\/sup> Big Placer Ylona Garcia<\/strong> may well be\u00a0on her way to stardom with the launch of her very first album, \u201cMy Name Is Ylona Garcia.\u201d<\/em><\/em><\/p>\n

During a media conference for the official release of her first album, the young singer impressed the press people with the rendition \u00a0of her songs \u201cMy Name Is Ylona Garcia<\/em>,\u201d \u201cDon\u2019t Say Goodbye\u201d and \u201cDahan Dahan Dahan Lang.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ylona was reported to be very much involved in the development of her album that even at a young age, she was able to contribute a few other songs in it.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe first song I\u2019ve ever written for the album was \u2018Don\u2019t Say Goodbye.\u2019 I wrote that song for a PBB task. We had only one week to write it. I just remember at that time I was really sad \u2018coz one of my friends was evicted and I just wrote it. I don\u2019t really have a process, I just write whatever pops into my head,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Among all the other songs in her album, her favourite would have to be her upbeat pop single \u201cNot Yo Bae.<\/em>\u201d \u201cI love singing it. I feel so empowered when I sing it, you feel so dominant it makes you feel like you\u2019re the leader here \u2018coz I\u2019m not yo bae. I\u2019m not gonna be like always be my baby or my everything, I\u2019m just not yo bae,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

With such singing prowess, even at a young age, she is already being likened to some foreign songstresses. Some say she\u2019s the Philippines\u2019 Ariana Grande.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m happy because she\u2019s really great. Being dubbed as the Ariana Grande of the Philippines but I don\u2019t want people to take it the wrong way because people kind of compare. Ariana Grande is her own person and Ylona Garcia is her own person as well, but it\u2019s nice to know that,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Being young, she does have a lot of people she looks up to and hopefully wants to work with.<\/p>\n

\u201cLocally, Sarah G, KZ Tandingan, Gary Valenciano. Foreign would have to be Ariana Grande, Justin Bieber, probably hopefully,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Last July, the teenage diva performed her first ever digital concert at ABS-CBN\u2019S Music Portal called One Music PH where her album produced by\u00a0Star Music was launched. (ABS-CBNnews)<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
