Garth Garcia, the Filipino singing sensation known as the ‘Prince of Pop,’ is now taking the U.S. music scene by storm. Just a few years after his bold transition from his home country, Garcia has captured American hearts and begun to form an impressive collection of awards that celebrate his remarkable talent and unique heritage. With every beat and note, Garcia is igniting a global movement that celebrates culture, friendship, and the power of collaboration through music.
For Garcia, singing and songwriting are deeply personal experiences. His latest single, “Kiss Me Goodnight,” is a perfect representation of this; showcasing Garcia’s lively energy and positive attitude, both the lyrics of the song and its accompanying video celebrate the magic of Los Angeles living and the importance of forming connections with those in your community. “I wanted it to be a song for the summer,” Garcia expressed. As one of Garcia’s most famous accomplishments, the official music video takes viewers on a ride through the stunning streets of Beverly Hills, showcasing both the excitement of the city and the joy of friendship as Garcia features some of his closest friends in the film.
Although his songwriting skills are instrumental to his career, central to Garcia’s success are his collaborations with other renowned artists. Recently, he shared the stage with the phenomenal Jaya, the Filipino ‘Queen of Soul,’ during an electrifying performance in Houston. “I have performed with Jaya several times in the past, but I still get goosebumps every time we perform,” Garth expressed. “She is an icon, so it is always a pleasure to work with her.” In addition, his partnership with the Grammy-nominated duo The Klubjumpers in 2022 on the single “Together Again” pushed Garcia to new song territories, proving that teamwork truly does make the dream work. But Garth is not just earning fame as a performer – he is also learning the ropes of entrepreneurship. With the launch of his own label, Starlink Music, Garcia is on a mission to uplift Filipino-American artists. His collaboration with the legendary Ms. Tootsie Guevara on the nostalgic single “I Wanna Dance with Somebody” is a reflection of that vision. Working together with Starlink Music, Garcia and Guevara honored the musical legacy of Whitney Houston while bridging generational gaps and inspiring the music world.
As the end of 2024 approaches, Garcia is set for an exhilarating few months filled with performances and exciting new releases. He is particularly enthusiastic about his upcoming Christmas album, which aims to spread joy and warmth through his music during the holiday season. “It’s all about connection and celebration,” he shared.
As the Filipino Prince of Pop continues to rise, his voice – and the voices of the talented artists he champions – are sure to be heard across the globe. “It is not all the time that everything works out, you have to keep believing in yourself even when things get hard,” Garth stated when giving advice to up-and-coming artists. “Just keep improving your craft and enjoy the journey, like I am!”
