Since then, success, seemingly, has never been elusive to her. Hawak Kamay, her first composition, became an instant hit and continues to appeal to many until this day. Various recognitions and performances here and abroad followed. Her songwriting skills also made her a notch higher from other artists in the local music scene.
“I’m thankful to God that I am able continue to share my talent,” says Yeng, who, obviously remains the most visible from among her PDA batch. “To all those who support me all this time, thank you so much. And I’m happy whenever I get recognized for my work.”
Setting aside the financial comfort she gets to enjoy, Yeng confesses to feeling doubly happy whenever her songs become familiar tunes even to kids. “When I was a child I dreamt of going up on stage with those blinding lights to perform in front of many people.”
Indeed, Yeng is now living her dream and, even without any expectations, she is getting more than what she wanted. Having met and shared some insights with her favorite artists mean so much to her. “Nakausap ko si Chito Miranda na parang friend ko lang; nagtwi-Twitter kami at naka-BBM ko pa s’ya. And Raymund (Marasigan), my favorite musician, produced this album (Metamorphosis, her fifth album which is released under Star Records).”
She considers Metamorphosis as the highlight of her sixth year in the music circuit as it carries 10 all-original tracks, nine of them are her compositions. Through album, the now 24-year-old singer also introduces music enthusiasts to a new sound that perfectly complements her new look — red hair, high heeled boots, metallic pants paired with long-sleeved blouse.
