SITTI

OPM's current toast of the town is our newest kabarkada!

Sitti has never had it this good in her career. After recently receiving a gold record award for her breakthrough debut album "Café Bossa", she's well on her way to becoming a household name, and a fixture in anyone's radio request lineup or Ipod playlist. It's never easy to introduce a new kind of music and be good at it at your first try, but this twenty-year-old beauty did it, with her trademark ease and grace.

But this princess (Sitti means princess in Muslim dialect) is no stranger to extraordinary achievements. She graduated as a dean's lister in UP Diliman, with a degree in Business Economics. She also received every prestigious award there was while in high school, including the Gloria Macapagal Arroyo award. Now it can be safely said that there's more to her than just her voice for you to get intimidated with.

If you think finding both beauty and brains in a girl is just wishful thinking, think (and take a look at her) again. She won Miss Visayas in the "Miss Travel Girl Pageant" in 2001 and 1st runner-up in "search for Miss Silka" in 2004. A string of advertisement appearances soon followed. But it was in MTV's Supahstar where she became full-circle, as she bested other aspiring contestants to become part of that elite batch of promising new artists.

But it was through music that Sitti captured the ears, and hearts, of everyone. Having done the rounds in Metro's bars and music lounges, she slowly, but surely (and sweetly), crept into our consciousness with her copyright soothing voice, smooth slow dancing, and that ever-warming smile.

And now, everything that we've come to love about Sitti will be seen as she joins our barkada as the newest hostess of PINOY DREAM ACADEMY ON STUDIO 23. No longer a stranger to talent shows, she brings her personal stories about competition and how it's like to dream and to actually become a star. As if you aren't in the know our kabarkada's unmistakable voice, soothing charisma and that vibrant smile are more than enough to make your day feeling like a good cup of coffee. So enjoy Sitti only here at Studio 23!
