Viva artists inspire aspiring singers to dream big
Joining the announcement was Viva artist and singing champion Lyca Gairanod, whose recent viral song “Puede Nang Mangarap” shows how online platforms can help talent reach wider audiences and inspire others to pursue their dreams.
“Minsan, isang pportunity lang talaga ang kailangan mo sa buhay. Kaya mahalaga ang mga contest tulad ng TNT SayaOke sa pagbibigay sa mga Pinoy ng chance para maipakita ang talento nila sa mas maraming tao at ma-inspire sila na magpatuloy lang sa pagkamit ng kanilang mga pangarap (Sometimes, one opportunity is all it takes to bring you closer to your dreams.

Viva artist Krissha Viaje, who is now one of the cast in the Viva One series, ‘Our Yesterday’s Escape,’ also began pursuing her passion for singing at a young age competing in singing contests here and abroad. She reflected how dedication and perseverance can help aspiring performers open doors to new opportunities.
“Kailangan talaga ng patience and hard work para makamit ang iyong pangarap. Dapat matibay ang tiwala mo sa sarili, at wag palampasin ang mga opportunity na maipakita ang talent mo sa mundo (Pursuing your dreams takes patience and hard work. You also have to keep believing in yourself and take every opportunity to show the world what you can do),” said Krissha.
