His looks, wit, body and golden voice definitely makes girls go wild. Who would not be amazed or get attached to the charms of this young bachelor? Asian Pop Sensation Christian Bautista was once a Landscape Architecture student at the prestigious University of the Philippines Diliman when he joined the singing competition “Star in a Million”. Though he have made it to the finals, his luck was no match that he ended up placing in fourth going behind champion Erik Santos. Nonetheless, this didn’t become a hindrance to Christian as he pursues the career he’s been dreaming of.
Releasing his debut album "Christian Bautista" in September 28, 2004 that earned him 4x Platinum record in the Philippines and 2x in Indonesia, Christian made a name for himself. With his sweet, gentle voice that soothes the ears of his listeners, he has won the hearts of many earning him the title Asia's Balladeer. Selling his album like hot pancakes, this was followed by "Completely" by 2005, and by "Capttured" by 2008.
Not until the year, 2009, where he released his album “Romance Revisited: The Songs of Jose Mari Chan” did he had his biggest break. It was like the saying “history repeats itself” suddenly came true when the songs of Jose Mari Chan sung in a new persona entered the international music scene. And that was the start of his reign not only in the Philippines, but other Asian countries as well.
On the other hand, having some skills and experience in acting, it was not hard for Christian to also invade the limelight of the stars. Traveling and crossing the boarders from his hit musical "West Side Story", he went on screen with the drama “Your Song Presents: Beautiful Girl”, together with Malaysian actress Carmen Soo.
This young achiever has conquered it all and proved that he can act as well. And his biggest act yet on screen is none other than his debut movie “Jaden’s Choir” where he plays the role of an aspiring musician. Not only it is his greatest role to date, but it is also his first international appearance on screen as an actor. “Jaden’s Choir” was shot in Indonesia where he became popular and will be shown in March in the country.

Exploring the world of arts, he has succeeded as a singer and actor. But aside from that, he has also entered the world of modeling. Shaping up his body for future purposes, this young man showed everyone that singers could have great body too. At his very first ramp as a model for Bench, he went topless and suddenly, every girl – and a part of boys too – started screaming his name. He also had a billboard showing his abs that he have really worked hard for. It was part of his plan in reinventing himself and I must say that he has succeeded once again.
It has been almost eight years since Christian joined “Star in a Million” and he has grown a lot, from a young aspirant to a full achiever. He also changed his image then from a lad to a hunk. It was by far the best step he has taken that lifted his career higher.
Truly enough, it was no doubt that The Man Named “Christian Bautista” is something worth knowing, watching and listening for. We have seen him grow and widen his talents. And as I end this article, maybe, perhaps in a few months, there’s more to see in him.
