Title of the Play: The School Showdown.
In a recent interview with PUSH career, the singer shared that she is still absorbing the many changes that happened in her life following her win.
“I feel delighted and simultaneously, it feels as if my victory is still very new, despite it being several months now. I still can’t believe it, particularly since I’m currently part of Career Ball, which is my first experience with such an event. Seeing all the bosses and various artists, I am genuinely thrilled because they gave me this amazing welcome,” she shared.
Regarding her professional journey, Carmelle mentioned that she is presently dedicated to enhancing her abilities as an artist, yet she remains enthusiastic about venturing into acting down the line.
“For now, I’m concentrating mainly on singing and dancing. Since I know how to dance but am not particularly skilled at it yet. That’s why I really have to improve in this area. I want to practice both singing and dancing together, and once I get better at those, I also want to try acting,” she mentioned.
Regarding the artists she aspires to work with, Carmelle stated: “My top three choices are really Sarah Geronimo, Coach Bam, and BINI.”
She continued, “Among the different music genres, I also want to explore more. There are some songs that I like but when I sing them, I know deep down that I can’t quite pull it off yet. However, I really enjoy upbeat tracks with rapping.”
