Booker Interviews Charice At AMP Studios!

AnonymousFanatic — Sat, 13 Mar 2010 04:09:14 +0000

We’ve read all your comments on what you think about Charice’s song “Pyramid” ft. Iyaz, and we’re getting a lot of requests to play it on AMP. Charice was in our studios with Booker talking about her new rise to fame.

Charmaine Clarice Relucio Pempengco is the 17-year-old singing sensation from the Philippines discovered by David “The Hit Man” Foster. She started singing when she was 7 when her mother, also a singer, discovered her talent. Her mother acted as her vocal coach helping Charice win many local singing competitions including “Little Big Star,” similar to American Idol.

She started getting national attention when she appeared on Ellen and Oprah, instantly making her an international celebrity. Her current single “Pyramid” features Iyaz and is increasing in popularity among AMP listeners.

Stars And Strikes Celebrity Charity Bowling And Poker

AnonymousFanatic — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 15:01:27 +0000

A host of stars – including Austin Anderson , television creator Seth MacFarlane, singers Austin Brown, Macy Gray, Charice Pempengco, Nick Cannon, singer and actress KeKe Palmer, actors Booboo Stewart from the Twilight Saga, Eddie Steeples from My Name Is Earl, American Idol host Kara Dioguardi and many more – attended the fourth annual Stars & Strikes Celebrity Bowling and Poker Tournamnet in Studio City on Wednesday.

The event benefited A Place Called Home, a South Central-based charity that provides a safe, home-like environment for thousands of at-risk youths.

“Our fourth annual Stars & Strikes was another great success, and we are truly thankful for all the generous support from our celebrity ambassadors and sponsors, as well as the Los Angeles community,” said Jonathan Zeichner, executive director of A Place Called Home. “Everyone who attended and offered their support for this year’s event not only helped provide financial aid that is so detrimental to our programs success, but also helped show APCH’s kids that there are people in the community who care about their future and want to see them succeed.”

For the past 17 years, APCH has provided a safe haven with creative and educational resources as well as mentoring, tutoring and support services to inner-city, at-risk youth who would otherwise be on the street, tempted by drugs and gangs, and threatened by violence and other adverse situations. Thousands of kids benefit from this safe, home-like environment where they know they can enjoy an after school meal, study, play sports, make music, learn to dance, get mentoring and tutoring services, and just have fun.

Charice: Exclusive Interview at the Pyramid Music Video Set 03/09/10

ADDED ARTICLE FROM SIDEBURNERSOL:

Charice Pyramid Music Video Dream Day!

Here´s another special treat to all Chasters (and Cheysters) out there: an exclusive interview from Charice and Iyaz at the shooting for their Music Video to “Pyramid”. The interview took place after filming. Thanks to SideburnerSol for this interview. Enjoy!

Charice.TV Exclusive Interview – Filming Pyramid Music Video w/ Charice & Iyaz

Charice Pyramid Music Video Dream Day!

Part One: An ordinary Chaster’s journey to a seat next to the Director’s chair!

My goodness the music video makers start work early! About 6:00 a.m. I started my walk up the alley behind the Orpheum Theatre, in downtown Los Angeles, the “City of Angels”. In the distance I could see that delivery trucks were already being unloaded. Large wind generators were being rustled across the alley. A security staffer casually watched me approach and seemed unconcerned. Maybe it was the black leather manbag I was carrying my camera gear in that suggested I might have a role to play with the production of Charice’s Pyramid Music Video? I witnessed several workers shuttling between their trucks and the theater, some carrying armloads of cables into the theater, while others wheeled large lockers. I remembered Chasters’ speculations that Charice’s Pyramid Music Video would have an Egyptian theme. Chasters on YouTube commented on Charice’s “Unofficial Pyramid Music Video”, wondering outloud if perhaps Charice would be dressed as Cleopatra, or Iyaz as another Pharaoh? Hmmmmm, I wondered what stage props I might spy as I got closer? What was that peculiar looking prop setting in the lot? It looked like an arched Egyptian harp! Could their speculations be accurate?

Slowly proceeding up the freshly washed alley, additional secrets within the music video makers’ trucks were indiscernible to this lolo’s poor eyes. The chill in the morning air suddenly seemed to amplify the crackling of radio communications. My attention was redirected toward the many workers who were now calling for reinforcements. Their mission to lift a large wind generator up the theater’s back steps had not succeeded. Team members discussed options and the order for a mechanical lift was quickly dispatched. The airwaves were resonating with a sense of well managed urgency that would be maintained throughout the day.

I approached a very large, and looking in charge, security staff member who kindly listened to my mild mannered request. He was a veteran of movie set security and he knew right away who I needed to see. He allowed me to chill with him until he saw my proposed contact person come out from one of the many doors of the theater. First contact went well! My information was passed up the chain of command, so, it was time for more waiting. My new security staff friend and I passed the time by swapping a few security stories; I used to work a 2nd job as a security officer. Six twenty a.m. and a young woman flipping pages on a clipboard headed in my direction. I believe she said she was a producer! Questions and answers were politely exchanged and I was told a time to return. My mission was moving in the right direction, but it’s outcome was still very uncertain.

Eight-thirty a.m. and I was back at the appointed place. I wondered if Charice had already been in makeup, or, was she in the wardrobe room selecting outfits that would suit the shoot? What frock did Cleopatra wear… a flowing golden gown? Would our pop princess wear a crown! My speculations ceased when one of the previously familiar faces greeted me and announced my return over the radio. I patiently waited by the door until the producer I spoke with earlier returned. My hazy memory does not allow for a direct quote, but in effect she said, “You can observe from the side of the stage for now”. She escorted me in! Although another clearance for my admittance was still pending, my expectations for the day had already been exceeded.

A familiar tune I had already heard hundreds of times was filling the set with good vibrations! Pyramid! I took a few steps to the right and I’m emotionally blown to bits and pieces! Charice! On stage! Her personal Sennhauser, Swarovsky-crystal-studded microphone sparkled under the stage lights, it’s bright and beautiful reflections were a compliment to the shining-star beauty of Charice in her element! She looked gorgeous! A few minutes later my laser-like gaze upon Charice was powered down as a new face greeted me. A new face, but with a familiar name! More questions and answers were exchanged, then… conditions were given: no filming of the music video, obey all staff commands, no access to the stars, or to the management’s work area, unless previously approved by management and escorted by a staff member. My request for an interview with Charice would be considered, but there would be no guarantees and it would be subject to the ever changing demands of the video shoot. Yes! Woooooohooooo!

I’m told to take any seat I like and I gazed off stage at over 2,000 seats. The balcony booth seats, on either side of the stage, nearly over the stage, looked tempting. But, I selected center stage, five rows back, next to the director. I had an unobstructed stage view and I could listen to the director’s instructions for setting up each shot and observe the digital camera’s view on a large LCD screen right next to me. The events of that morning were already enough for me to say, “This is my Charice Pyramid Music Video Dream Day!” Amazingly, this was just cloud one of a cloud nine Charice Pyramid Music Video Dream Day!

I feel very blessed to have been granted this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, observing Charice’s Pyramid Music Video. Therefore, I choose to interpret the conditions of my admittance there in a way that I hope will convey my highest respect for Charice’s management’s rules/conditions. In Part Two of my observations, I choose to exclude details of the shoot that would reveal the music video’s artistic theme and style. I hope my generalized observations/impressions of the remainder of the day’s events will still be worthwhile reading. Otherwise, I’ve heard reports that the actual music video will be released within two weeks, so you won’t have to wait long to satisfy your curiosity.

If you have a general question about the music video shoot, please include it in a comment. I may integrate answers to your questions in part two of the above article.

Charice Pempengco’s ‘Pyramid’

Charicematic — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 19:34:45 +0000

MANILA, Philippines – International singing sensation Charice Pempengco has gone a long way from being a Youtube hit.

Recently, the young popstar released her first international single titled Pyramid, featuring rapper Iyaz, at Amazon and iTunes.

The song, which Pempengco said, landed on the billboard pop charts overnight, was part of her first international album named Charice: Pyramid.

In an interview with INQUIRER.net, Pempengco expressed her excitement over her first international album which she said took over a year and a half to finish.

“Nung sinabi nila sa akin na ‘okay, it’s done!’ Sobrang tuwa ko po [When they told me, ‘okay, it’s done!’ I was so happy]” Pempengco said.

Also scheduled for release in May is the official music video for the single, she said.
Unlike her first self-titled album released under Star Records which featured mostly love songs, Pempengco promised that her international album would be “very youthful.”

She also co-wrote one of the tracks, a rap with a mix of Tagalog and English lyrics.
“Kahit po sa States ang release nung album, marami rin pong Filipino dun and gusto rin nilang makarinig nang Tagalog kaya yun po sinulat ko [Even if the album is released in the US, there are a lot of Filipinos there and they would also want to listen to Tagalog that’s why this is what I wrote],” Pempengco explained.

But despite her new found fame, Pempengco said her ultimate goal would be to finish her studies.

In fact, Pempengco is a scholar at a Massachusettes-based online international university where she is currently enrolled as a freshman college student taking BA Communications.

“‘Yun ang hindi alam ng maraming tao kasi akala nila palipat-lipat ako, akala nila hindi ako nag-aaral, pero ang totoo talaga, nag-aaral ako at college na ako [That’s what a lot of people think because they think that just because I’m mobile, they think I’m not studying. But the truth is, I am studying and I am in college],” said the talented petite singer, an endorser of Sterling notebooks and pens.

“Kahit na busy yung schedule, kahit papaano, two hours a day nakakapasok ako sa school, and nakakapag-aral ako and kahit na busy hindi ako makapaniwalang nakaabot ako ng college [Even if I have a busy schedule, I manage to spend two hours a day in school and I am able to study and despite my being busy, I couldn’t believe that I was able to reach college],” she added.

Message from Warner Brothers Regarding Pyramid Music Video on YouTube

Dear Chasters;

We’re extremely appreciative of your passion for promoting Charice but its extremely important that we don’t get several versions of the wrong video on YouTube. There are several versions of the Pyramid Viral Video with the beginning card with text that shouldn’t be out on the internet. Please use the official video that Charice has uploaded onto her official YouTube Channel here: Charice – “Pyramid” (feat. Iyaz) Music Video

It is also extremely important that if you have loaded a version of the video to remove the version you have up and to embed our video (and link to iTunes) for your sites, and favorite on your channel so that we can aggregate views to the one official video. As I’m sure you know, having 2 or 3 different versions of the videos can confuse new fans and interferes with our metrics for success.

YouTube search takes several things into consideration when ranking videos in search: views, comments, ratings, and date of upload. When there are several videos getting more views than the official one, it can affect not only views but YouTube rankings in their video charts.

I hope you understand. Thanks so much!

~Tina

Iyaz & Warner Brothers in the BVI to Shoot Music Video

AnonymousFanatic — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 17:34:47 +0000

International artist and the VI´s own, Keidran Jones aka Iyaz along with his recording label Warner Brothers arrived in the Territory last evening to film the video for his new single `Solo´.

The artist who was born in USVI and raised in the BVI, made this disclosure to BVI Platinum News as he prepared to visit Tortola.

“The label said they want to see where I grew up so it´s only right I take them to ‘THA BAY”. I’ll probably be there for like three days shooting and photo shoots before I hop back on the road to continue promoting the single and album to be released in April! Areas for shoot are still left to be decided.”

The enthusiastic young artist said that `Solo´ is said to be vastly matching up to the expectations of his first single and big hit `Replay´.

“At least that´s what I´m hearing. So hopefully the fans support it as much as my team does. It´s doing well. When released, in less than 36 hours it went top 10 on iTunes and sold more than triple what replay did the first week, in a few hours. So I have faith that Solo is going to do well and hope the fans continue to love my music and show their support,” he posited.

Iyaz said that since its release, he has been on the road across cities performing, “and letting them know “island pop” isn´t just something that´s passing through; It´s here to stay. They love the song in Europe, especially in Paris, so I have high hopes for this one.”

While in the BVI, Iyaz will also perform at a talent extravaganza and variety show to be held at the Isabella Morris Primary School where he is a past student.

There, Iyaz is scheduled to perform his hit single `Replay´ and new single `Solo´. The event will take place on Thursday March 4, 2010 at 7:00 pm and will feature other local artists including Milf Mo, Them Island Boyz aka B.V and Drastic and Young Diction of Out Da Box.

Climbing the Ladder

Meanwhile, the artist said of recent he has been performing at numerous shows in several countries including the UK and Europe; and is also promoting his first album which is expected to be launched in April.

He also commented on his experience at the Grammy´s Award Show and being part of the remake ‘We Are the World’.

“Being at the Grammy’s was a great experience for me. I didn´t win a Grammy, but it was definitely a life time achievement for me. I grew up watching all these different celebs walking the red carpet and to be a part of it this year was something great. Hopefully next year it could be me,” the artist jokingly stated.

He said, “The We are the World remake was something awesome to be a part of, just like the Grammy’s. This is a video and song that I grew up watching with my parents. To be there with Quincy Jones, Lionel Richie, and all the other celebrities who were there, I was honored to be there lending a voice to the cause. I think it has definitely impacted me personally because this is something that will go down in history not only for myself and my career, but for my island.”

Speaking on his future plans, Iyaz said that he has a few appearances which he cannot comment on presently, but assured that big things are in store for him in the near future.

“I also have a song coming out with an artist named “Charice.” She is David Foster’s artist and the song is called “Pyramid.”

It should be released on the 23 of this month. Also, I´m in the studio working with Miley Cyrus and I´m hoping for a very successful album while continuing to strive for excellence and making feel good music that´s going to reach every corner of the earth.”

The young celebrity also took the opportunity thank everyone who has been supportive of him during this journey.

“I am definitely going to continue to represent where I´m from – British and US Virgin Islands and hope they continue to support me throughout my career as I put Island Pop on the map and let them know that the BVI has a voice too. The new single “Solo” is out now on iTunes and also on billboard.com, myspace.com/iyaz , iyazmusic.com and facebook.com/iyazsmith,” he asserted.
