Yeng Contantino - The Academy of Rock's Ambassadress
Achievement is the sign of success. Big Drem will come true just like what happen to Yeng Constantino. She has been 6 years in the music industry. She started as the big winner of the Pinoy Dream Academy or PDA and continuesly perform here in the Philippines and abroad. Her list of chart-toppers came from her four albums which earned her the title as the Philippines' Rock Princess.
Her love for writing songs and performing eventually became a passion to bring back OPM back to the mainstream and give Filipino musicians the recognition from all over the world. Last year made that dream came into reality when she performed at the Academy of Rock in Manila. After that performance , her song “Salamat” was included in the syllabus of the Academy of Rock and people behind the school namely Jeremy Ward of Rockschool UK, Charles Lim and Priscilla Teo of Academy of Rock in Singapore decided to give her an Honorary Licentiate Diploma. Yeng is the 7th person to be give this award among artists from all over the world for being a top notch performer and musician.
Yeng went ot Academy of Rock Singapore to perform and receive this prestigious award. A technical glitch prompted Yeng to perform “Salamat” live without any hesitation. Impressing the management of the school for a second time, Yeng became Academy of Rock's ambassadress as she signed the contract last May 2 at the Academy of Rock School in Rockwell, Makati. A first collaboration of its kind, between an educational service provider and an international star, the award-winning brand from Singapore will count on Yeng's appeal as the Philippines' Rock Princess to be an example for all budding music stars from their academy to follow.
Founded in 2006, The Academy of Rock has dedicated the academy to teaching only rock and popular music. With the aim of living by their fundamental principles of raising musicality, nurturing individuality, inspiring creativity and promoting appreciation through fun, they have a unique teeaching setup that goes beyond that of a traditional music school.
