The year is off to a great start for My Special Tatay actor Ken Chan as he becomes the latest artist to join GMA Music’s roster of talents.
On Jan. 8, the 25-year-old actor officially inked a contract and present during the contract signing were GMA Artist Center Assistant Vice President and Head for Talent Imaging and Marketing Unit Simoun Ferrer, Senior Talent Manager Tracy Garcia, GMA Music Managing Director Rene Salta, and GMA Music A&R Manager Kedy Sanchez.
Ken, who is lauded for his skillful portrayal in the top-rating afternoon series My Special Tatay, shared that he is thrilled to mark another milestone in his career, “I’m happy because it’s been my wish to be part of GMA Music. I thank them for their continued support and trust. Lahat ng pino-produce nila maganda kaya excited ako na makatrabaho sila.”
He also expressed his excitement over his first song entitled “Almusal,” which is a duet with fellow Kapuso singer and on-screen partner Rita Daniela.
“It’s a simple and feel good music and it’s relatable kasi ‘di ba tayong mga Pinoy, mahilig tayo sa almusal. And when we are wooing someone, ‘di ba making them breakfast is one of the things that we do? Nag-play na po sa Barangay LS 97.1 and on RGMA provincial radio stations nationwide ‘yung single, and when I first heard it sobrang sarap sa feeling,” he happily said.
Meanwhile, GMA Music Managing Director Rene Salta proudly welcomed Ken and revealed that they already have quality projects in store for him, “GMA Music is happy to have Ken Chan on board because he is one of the network’s most prized talents. In fact, meron na siyang naka-ready na next single, it’s coming soon, and we’re also looking forward to shooting the music video for that.”
Fans can now listen to “Almusal” on Spotify and download it on Apple Music, iTunes, and other digital stores worldwide.
