about

Carmina is a singer-songwriter, and independent artist who plays piano & guitar. At the age of 17, she started her own YouTube Channel and posted covers and original songs. She became popular with her cover of “Afterlife” by Avenged Sevenfold and “Eyes on Me” from the FF8 Soundtrack. Her main style is Acoustic/Alternative Rock but she also has a few vocal trance, OPM, and Broadway covers. Her most popular original song is "I don't want to love another" which was well loved by her fans since several of them made covers of the hit song on YouTube.

The “Pinay YouTube Sensation” has already accumulated more than

6 million streams on YouTube. Not only is she known in the Philippines, but she also has a number of fans from Indonesia and other countries.

What makes Carmina truly stand out is her genuineness and kindness which is why she has loyal followers. On top of that, she creates all her own content: from songwriting to recording and editing her own videos, making her own promo photos, album artwork, blog posts, Mixtape series on Spotify, and even her own website. Everything is DIY since 2008 and all for the love of music.

"Music is my passion. It's been a huge part of my life since I was young. It is also a way for me to express myself. More importantly, I think it's a way to speak to and for people. I believe songs help us make sense of the world and make us feel like we're not alone. So, it's a really powerful force and whether it’s a song about love, death, success or loss, we find support. I want to be able to write the kind of material that moves people. I hope by sharing my music, someone can find the same comfort I did from listening to different artists"
