TWO YEARS after her hugely successful concert, Annebisyosa No Other Concert (2012), Anne Curtis is poised to once again rock the Smart Araneta Coliseum with The Forbidden Concert: AnneKapal on May 16.
This time, the actress- TV host-celebrity endorser will be back on stage more determined than ever to sing her heart out to her fans. Anne has never disguised her ambition to make it big as a concert artist.
Annebisyosa was a big gamble. Many doubted if she got what it takes to hit it off as a singer. But the criticisms only fueled her determination. It was actually the title of her fi rst album. Released in 2011 under Viva Records, it was a surprise hit, selling 10,000 copies.
Annebisyosa went on to achieve platinum status. But Anne felt singing live in a concert was the true test for a singer.
So, she decided to perform at the Smart Araneta. For AnneKapal, Anne is leaving nothing to chance. She has been rehearsing religiously and is hands-on in every aspect of production. But the May 16 concert is just one of the many projects lined up for the Viva Artist Agency (VAA) superstar.
She is in the swim of things in ABS-CBN’s newest TV series, Dyesebel. A new album is also in the works, and there are two movie projects in the pipeline. Anne is also kept busy by numerous endorsements. Her face graces giant billboards as she promotes products ranging from condominiums to cosmetics.
“I’ll be everywhere again this year,” she said. Her forthcoming movie, The Gifted, reunites her with No Other Woman co-star and fellow Viva talent Cristine Reyes. Sam Milby will be joining them. The Gifted is due for release this summer.
Anne will also be recording her second album. “As you can see, my plate is so full in the next few months and I’ll be busier than I’ve ever been,” she said. “I feel so blessed,” she added.
The Forbidden Concert: AnneKapal is presented by Smart. Co-presentors are Cherry Mobile, Enervon and Century Tuna. Major sponsors are Doublemint Gum and Belo Essentials. Also brought to you by Sm Accessories, Swatch, Primadonna and American Tourister.
