Another talented artist joins music company MCA Music (Universal Music Philippines): Sitti. The Philippines’ Queen of Bossa Nova recently signed a contract with the music company; present during the event was MCA Music President Ricky R. Ilacad, who happens to be the one who signed up the singer back when he was head of another record label. Also at the contract signing were MCA Music executives Wilson Cruz (Marketing & Sales Director), Kiko Guevarra (A&R Manager) and Mark Bonifacio (OPM Label Marketing Manager).
“I’m so happy to be working again with Sir Ricky who signed up for my first album.
It was a reunion of sorts for us. I am likewise excited to be working with MCA Music people and be part of such wonderful family,” Sitti said.
Sitti started the bossa nova trend in the Philippines when she released her debut album with hits “Para Sa Akin”, “Tattooed On My Mind” and other covers she interpreted with her bossa touch. Since then, several bossa nova artists followed suit but nobody beat the one who started it all which was proven by strong record sales and demand for shows here and abroad. No wonder she was called the Philippines’ Queen of Bossa Nova. She released 6 albums, majority of which have reached Gold and Platinum status and 1 remix album.
She is currently part of the ASAP Sessionistas which is featured on top variety show ASAP. Watch out for her first album under MCA Music this 2013!
