GMA Network has decided to give Julie Anne San Jose a new moniker. They dropped the Pop Sweetheart title and started calling the 27-year-old singer and actress “Asia’s Limitless Star” in time for the launch of Limitless, A Musical Trilogy.
“We believe it’s just timely and fitting that Julie will now be called the Limitless Star. She’s truly a talented artist. We saw her journey in the entertainment industry and we can all attest to her capability to give more,” GMA Regional TV and Synergy First Vice President and Head Oliver Victor Amoroso told Manila Standard Entertainment.
“There are only a few artists like her who can act, dance, sing and write songs. She’s also a multi-instrumentalist, which is why the title Limitless Star is perfect for her,” Amoroso added.
Reacting to the network executive’s words, Julie said that it was her first time to hear it and she just wants to extend her gratitude to GMA for the generous and unparalleled support she gets as an artist.
“I don’t know what to feel. It’s just surreal. Of course, I want to thank GMA for trusting me and for giving me this kind of opportunity. I also want to thank the fans for being with me in my musical journey,” Julie started.
“I wouldn’t be where I am at right now without the support of my family, my fans, and my friends. I feel like I have already found my purpose in life, which is to inspire more people and share my experience through my craft and my music. It feels fulfilling when people appreciate your work,” she added.
Limitless virtual concert is set to unveil the different facets of Julie as a singer, songwriter, dancer, actress, and multi-instrumentalist as she travels to the three island groups of the Philippines where she discovers new inspiration in unexpected locations in Mindanao, Visayas, and Luzon.
Witness how Julie shows a new side of her that she has never shown before. Here she shares what she can do as a performer and what she has to go through to become limitless.
“Any artist would be very excited to be part of this unique project. And for me to be able to share my talent and my experience with my fans here and abroad is something I am truly excited about. I am grateful to GMA Network and GMA Synergy for trusting me with this one-of-a-kind endeavor,” Julie shared.
This journey of discovery is something everyone can relate to, especially now that we have to stay home again for our safety.
“Each of us is still trying to deal with the trying times and to be able to produce a musical trilogy like Limitless and to have it seen by people not only here in the Philippines but in every part of the world is something I hope will inspire everyone to keep on seeing the good things around us,” she added.
For the first leg, Julie flies to Mindanao on a great adventure. Against the picturesque sceneries, she meets the locals and learns more about their culture and values.
Julie also collaborates with Kapuso homegrown talents and local artists from all over the country.
For the Sept.17 leg, Julie will be joined by Asia’s Romantic Balladeer Christian Bautista and The Clash alumnus Jong Madaliday, who is actually from Mindanao himself. Julie will work with Myke Salomon, the musical director behind the hit musicals Huling El Bimbo and Rak of Aegis. JC Gellidon is the director of photography.
A versatile artist, Julie is one of the hosts of GMA’s top-rating program ‘All-Out Sundays.’ She is also set to return with Rayver Cruz as Clash Masters in the all-original musical competition ‘The Clash.’ She bannered the GMA rom-com series ‘Heartful Café’ opposite David Licauco and will soon be starring on an online video streaming platform’s musical series “Still” alongside Christian Bautista.
Julie was recently featured on a digital billboard at the iconic Times Square in New York City. The said billboard was for Spotify’s EQUAL campaign, which encourages users to listen to amazing women all around the world.
“As one of GMA’s finest homegrown talents, Julie has flourished to become one of the best performers in our country and is now beginning to be recognized abroad as well. This is why we are excited to present to Julie’s fans this musical trilogy, ‘LIMITLESS’ because we know that Julie’s talent will take her fans to limitless heights when they join her in this musical journey,” shared First Vice President for Business Development Department III Darling De Jesus-Bodegon.
