Garth Garcia of Rom-Boys Club

His entry to singing was through his participation in Mr. and Ms. Science and Technology when he was still grade four. From then on, he joined choirs and singing competitions, which further honed his singing craft and his confidence as well.

In his high school, at Davao del Sur High School, he competed with his choir in different school choir competitions.

Garth’s towering height at five feet and ten inches tall allowed him to venture into the world of modeling as well. He did both print and ramp modeling. He was a print model for Boardwalk in 2008, while he strutted for Filigrenasia Fashion Shows in 2009 and 2010, respectively, Lifestyle Fashion Show in 2009, and Philippine Fashion Week for Wrangler in 2010.

In the film ‘Can this be Love?’ with Hero Angeles and Sandara Park, he did a cameo role as well. While singing tilts on television, he was no alien to it. He was part of ABS-CBN’s Star in a Million for its Season 2 (2007), Eat Bulaga’s Singing with Dabarkadas (2007), Pilipinas Got Talent Season 1 (2010).

When ABS-CBN launched its singing game show called ‘Twist and Shout’ in 2010, he was part of its teaser.

In the group, he has the soulful voice of Brian McKnight and influences of Boys 2 Men and Gary Valenciano.

When asked what would be his priority with all the talents he has, he was quick to reply, “Singing comes first, then modeling and acting in that particular order.”

Garth is an HRM graduate from Lyceum Manila in 2009.
