Sparkle, GMA Network’s talent management arm, has made a name for itself in discovering and nurturing young and upcoming talents. With its latest batch of teen charmers and young stars, Sparkle once again is ready to captivate the hearts of many.
Sparkle’s newest roster of stars promises to be a force to be reckoned with, as they showcase their skills and charm their way into the hearts of audiences.
In 2022, the talent management launched three batches of stars, namely, Sparkle’s Next Brightest Stars, Sparkle Love Teams, and Sparkada. With Sparkle’s vision and direction, these artists were able to grow their star power bigger and brighter than ever before in just a year’s time.
Now, Sparkle is training the spotlight on these bright, energetic, and bubbly teen stars with the launch of Sparkle Teens. With a mix of former child actors turned teenaged head-turners and completely fresh faces, Sparkle is excited to show the world how these Sparkle Teens shine.
Sparkle consultant and renowned starmaker Johnny “Mr. M” Manahan stated that despite their ages, these teens do have “It,” that certain quality to make it big and far in showbiz.
“[They have the] Enthusiasm and willingness to sacrifice for the craft. Willing sila mag-workshops, kumuha ng advanced classes [to improve].”
Sparkle’s Assistant Vice President Joy Marcelo believes that the talent agency has prepared the Sparkle Teens well enough for them to take on any challenge that the industry throws their way. With nothing to dull their shine, these teens will sparkle!
“We had these kids go through months of intense workshops before their launch as Sparkle Teens. They trained with the best acting, singing, and dancing coaches to help them become the stars that they’re meant to be. No easy task but they pulled through really well,” Marcelo said.
“Ask any one of them to perform and they will deliver, that’s how confident I am with the caliber and star power of our Sparkle Teens. And it’s a big plus that these kids genuinely love to perform – they are a joy to watch,” the executive added.
Additionally, Ana Feleo, Sparkle’s head acting coach, expressed her excitement for the launch of the Sparkle Teens. After playing a major role in their development as artists, she has witnessed their struggles and triumphs and now, all that’s left for them to do is flourish.
“There is no doubt that they are talented, and they all have their unique strengths. They’ve only started to bloom, and I cannot wait to see how far they will go in this industry that we respect and love.”
Lastly, Sparkle’s Senior Assistant Vice President Annette Gozon-Valdes forecasts a busy and bright future ahead for the Sparkle Teens.
“There is so much to look forward to for the Sparkle Teens in the next coming months. To name a few, we have a billboard, music video, and social media campaigns that highlight all of their unique personalities and talents, which fans would not want to miss out on! They will also be cast in teen-oriented shows of GMA, while some are already lined up for different dramas. The teens will also be guesting in All-Out Sundays,” Gozon-Valdes emphasized.
“I am truly proud of how far the Sparkle teens have come from day one. I am confident that after they are seen showcasing their unique talents, fans will genuinely appreciate them and come to love them as the next big stars of this industry,” the TV executive concluded.
