‘Golden Girl’ Gerphil Flores set to perform in Vancouver
S
tarmaker/composer David Foster dubbed her a
“Golden Girl” when he
hit the Golden Buzzer at Asia’s Got
Talent, which sent her straight into
the semi-finals. He was so amazed
at her performance that he said that
he promises that, “the world is gonna know about you.” The 24-year
old crossover-classical singer and
Asia’s Got Talent (AGT) third place
winner, joined Canadian record producer Foster in his Asian concert
series David Foster & Friends which
will begin in Kuala Lumpur in August of 2015.
Foster has been known to include many Filipino talents in his
concert tours, including Charice
Pempengco, who also produced her
first international album in 2010.
Gerphil feels overwhelmed at
the many other opportunities that
came her way after AGT. She said
that everything has yet to sink in because this is all a dream come true
for her. She has been performing
in corporate and private functions
as well as TV appearances. She has
also been under contract with Fremantle Media, the franchise owner
of the Got talent shows.
She is very grateful to those
who have continuously showed
their support for her like OPM artists Lea Salonga and Regine Velasquez and the fans, and is constantly
overwhelmed with the support of
fans who take time to see her at the
malls.
Gerphil is also busy continuing
her studies and is currently enrolled
in mid-year classes at the UP College of Music and finish her Bachelors of Music degree.
She always takes the chance to
sing in churches whenever she can
because she believes that’s one of
the ways she can give thanks for all
the blessings she has received. She
sang for a healing Mass of Fr. Faller
which is aired on ABS-CBN.
Gerphil will be coming to Canada to do some shows: February
14 at Kay Meek Theatre, West Vancouver; February 15 at the White
Eagle Hall, Victoria; February 17
at the Westminster United Church,
Winnipeg and February 19 at the
Centre Stage, Surrey City Hall, BC.
The shows are produced by TRIBU
productions. Contact tribu@telus.
