Charmaine Clarice Relucio Pempengco, better known by her screen name Charice (born May 10, 1993), is a Filipina singer who became a singing sensation throughout the world through YouTube. She started joining singing contests at the age of seven but became widely known in her native Philippines when she placed third in Little Big Star.
Early Years
Charice's mother, Raquel Relucio, had and still has a very musical ear, on May 10th 1993; she gave birth to a beautiful baby girl, Charmaine Clarice Relucio Pempengco in Cabuyao, Laguna, in the Philippines, not expecting the works to follow in this baby girl’s future.
Raquel noticed Charice could sing very high when she sang “Happy Birthday” at the age of 2; so taking her music experience into an account, she started teaching and training Charice at the tender age of 4, along with Raquel’s sister. With a lot of hard work and perseverance, Charice began singing in local contests in the Philippines when she was only 7 years old. Charice began her journey with one priority in mind, to help her mother through the hardships they went through, especially with living and finances. It was when she was 8 or 9 years old that she got onto a table and sang “My Heart Will Go On”, originally sung by the famous Celine Dion, that people realized that she is a natural performer.
