What to know about Myrus...

"Then & Now" concert, 2010

While many have opted for the fast lane to fame by joining reality talent searches on television, recording artist Myrus Ramirez took the path less traveled.

  Dubbed as The Sentimental Prince of Philippine Music, Myrus was discovered through the social networking site Friendster by public relations entrepreneur Chris Cahilig.

   At the age of 20, he has made a mark in the music scene with the help of his mega hit single "Sayang," a cover of a song popularized 30 years ago by Claire dela Fuente. His debut album "Love Cycle" and its repackaged version have been declared Certified Gold Record by Sony Music.

    Myrus' passion for music began ever since he was three years old. He belongs to a musically inclined family--- his mom and dad are good singers as well most of his siblings.

   When Myrus discovered that he had an exceptional gift in singing and entertaining people, he started exploring different music genres, studying his singing voice, and developing his own style. 

    The pop and standard repertoire of this young performer are comprised of songs popularized by Gary Valenciano, Ogie Alcasid, Janno Gibbs, and Martin Nievera, Stevie Wonder, Luther Vandross, Usher, Michael Jackson, Prince, Brian McKnight, Joe, and Eric Benet.

   Myrus incorporates his own style when performing popular songs. He mesmerizes his audience by playing around with notes, resulting in new and enticing rhythms. Also, he does some dancing when on stage to make his performances more enthusiastically and lively.
