It is a phenomenon that more and more people seem to notice – the rise of Pinoy singers in the world stage. The latest sensation, Charice, has wowed the world that even Oprah, upon seeing her perform on her show for the very first time, became an instant fan. Many Pinoys located in different parts of the world are also making some "noise". Here in Singapore, the phenomenon continues.

Recently, the Straits Times – Singapore’s leading newspaper – came out with an article entitled: “Loving Thai, Filipino songs.”

“Sunday evenings are hardly a popular time slot for clubbing” the article says, “But pop down to The Arena Live at Clarke Quay and you will find the nightspot is often packed to the brim.”

The reason is many Pinoy singers are holding concerts in Singapore and local residents are taking notice. Popular artists such as Bamboo, Kamikaze, Parokya ni Edgar and Aiza Seguerra has pumped up the energy of the clubbing scene here and Pinoy audience, expats and Singaporeans alike groove to their music.
