Bituin Escalante

Following her phenomenal entry into the musical entertainment circuit, Bituin Escalante’s star continues to take on greater heights and remained consistently impressive in terms of her first rate musical artistry and signature vocal prowess.

Touted as the true heiress to the legitimate diva throne, Bituin has a dynamic personality and style.

First, she wowed everyone with her winning interpretation in the Metropop 2000 song festival, where she made the giant leap into the elite circle of first-rate artists in the mainstream musical performing arts. Her winning streak continued as she was adjudged Best Interpreter in ABS-CBN’s 2002 Himig Handog Love Songs Competition where her song “Kung Ako na Lang Sana” was proclaimed the grand prize winner. The song was considered the biggest OPM hit of 2003.

She also took musical theatre by storm with outstanding performances in the Manila production of Jonathan Larson’s “RENT”, Andrew Lloyd Weber’s “Jesus Christ Superstar”, Jonathan Larson’s “TickTick Boom”, her much raved about performance as Effie White in “Dreamgirls”, “Once on this Island” as Asaka and her nonmusical theatrical debut in “Death and the Maiden” as Paulina Escobar won her both accolades and nod of the critics.

Bituin continues to spread her wings and conquered television, becoming part of ABS-CBN’s A.S.A.P. family and Wowowee, where her talent and versatility are showcased. The regular exposure she gets from the show and her regular appearances on big-time TV specials have earned her the respect and admiration of both local and foreign televiewers.

In the concert scene, Bituin remains a much sought after performer and has in fact shared center-stage with many of the best singers and musicians here and abroad.

Her unique talent and golden voice has afforded her not only travel and fame, but also paved the way for recognitions such as being named Aliw’s Most Promising Female Artist in 2001, the Who’s Who in the Philippines Best Female Performer in 2001, and the Awit Awards: Best Performance by a Female Recording Artisit in 2003 and the Best Performance by a Duet Mon David in 2007 to name a few.
