Free piano sheets for Charice Pempengco

Charmaine Clarice Relucio Pempengco (born May 10, 1992), better known as Charice, is a Filipina singer who rose to popularity through YouTube. Dubbed by Oprah Winfrey as the Most Talented Girl in the World,^[1] she is the first solo Asian artist in history to land in the Top 10 of the Billboard 200 album chart.^[2]

Crossing over to television acting, she has appeared on the TV series Glee where she plays a guest star named Sunshine Corazon.^[3] Charice is currently working on her sophomore studio album, on which she will collaborate with Sean Garrett.^[4]

Pempengco was born in Laguna, Philippines.^[5] Raised by a single mother, she helped support the family by joining amateur singing contests at age seven, from town fiestas in various provinces to singing competitions on TV.^[6] She is said to have joined almost a hundred singing contests.^[7]

In 2005, Pempengco joined Little Big Star, a talent show in the Philippines loosely patterned after Pop Idol. Eliminated after her first performance, she was later called back as a wildcard contender and eventually became a finalist.^[8]

Pempengco made minor appearances on local television shows and commercials, but essentially had fallen off the radar after her stint at Little Big Star. It was not until 2007 that she gained worldwide recognition after an avid supporter started posting a series of her performance videos on YouTube under the username FalseVoice. These videos received over 13 million hits which, according to Reyma Buan-Deveza, makes Pempengco a "YouTube singing sensation".^[9]
