Personal life and career

Early beginnings; The Clash journey

[edit | edit source]

Hailing from Cebu, Villarubin's humble beginnings as the breadwinner of her family only fueled her determination to chase her dreams. Despite the challenges of the pandemic, she bravely ventured to Manila with the hope of securing a better future for her family through her passion for singing.

With her powerful performances and unwavering perseverance, she emerged as the Grand Champion of the Philippine reality singing competition The Clash, solidifying her place as one of the country's most talented and inspiring voices.[2][3][4][5][6]

In the grand finals of the competition, Villarubin stood tall as she faced off against fellow competitor, Jennie Gabriel, in a heart-stopping one-on-one showdown. With her powerful rendition of Wency Cornejo's "Habang May Buhay" and Jennie's emotive performance of Celine Dion's "All by Myself", the two singers delivered an unforgettable and intense battle for the crown. In the end, Villarubin's exceptional singing techniques and unmatched stamina shone through the competition. In her historic victory, Villarubin not only secured the title of Grand Champion of The Clash, but also walked away with an impressive array of prizes, including an exclusive management contract from GMA Network, a brand new car, one million cash, and a house and lot. As the ultimate celebration of her triumph, she performed her winning song "Ako Naman" which was composed by one of the judges of the show, Christian Bautista,[7][8] as her debut single. It was a momentous occasion for Villarubin, as it marked her first-ever performance on national television. Her hard work, dedication, and raw talent have truly paid off, as she emerged as one of the most promising singers in the Philippines.

Villarubin is now regularly showcasing her incredible vocal abilities as a mainstay of the popular variety show, All-Out Sundays. She shares the stage with a mix of both established and emerging artists. A standout segment in All-Out Sundays is "Divas of the Queendom",[9] where Villarubin takes the stage alongside some of the most renowned artists in the Philippine music industry, including Julie Anne San Jose, Aicelle Santos, Rita Daniela and the likes of Hannah Precillas, Thea Astley, and Mariane Osabel. Audiences are consistently awestruck by their performances, as they confidently stand out among their peers, cementing their status as highly talented and inspiring singers in the industry. A concert titled Queendom: Live was held on December 2, 2023 at the Newport Performing Arts Theater.[10]

Villarubin is casually guesting on various GMA shows such as Sarap, 'Di Ba?, The Boobay and Tekla Show, and TiktoClock. She also participated in comedy skits and singing popular songs while taking on new challenges.

In 2022, Villarubin made a collaboration with Katrina Velarde, as they covered Celine Dion's "I Surrender", which she also performed in the finals of The Clash.[11] Their cover went viral online.[12][13][14]

In February 2024, she became a judge in TiktoClock's revival of 1988 amateur singing competition Tanghalan ng Kampeon, along with OPM hitmaker Renz Verano, The Juans vocalist Carl Guevarra,[15] Daryl Ong, Bugoy Drilon, Mark Bautista, Hannah Precillas and Mariane Osabel.
