Miss World Philippines 2024 Krishnah Gravidez pursues music career
MANILA, Philippines — Miss World Philippines 2024 Krishnah Gravidez assured her fans that she has ample time to prepare for her upcoming international competition amid her studies and music career. She recently signed with Universal Records Philippines as one of its new recording artists.
“I still have a few months left to prepare and I feel like it’s enough for me to prepare everything because I trust the people behind me, the people beside me in this journey. ALV (Arnold L. Vegafria, her manager), also my team, or my team Baguio, my Promedia family as well, they’re guiding me all throughout every stage that I step into. That’s why now, yes, time management is also the key, but I feel very grateful that I have a strong support system,” she shared during a recent contract signing with Universal Records Philippines.
“Of course, as I mentioned, I feel very blessed that I am where I am right now. Maybe some people may think that time management is difficult for this because I have to prepare for my international competition but I really want to challenge myself more. And (I have) my school and my studies as well. So I had a lot of opportunities that came but I feel very blessed and lucky to have this because not all of us or not all aspiring artists can also have this opportunity. So, now I’m really grateful to have this milestone,” she added.
Krishnah also believed that her singing skills will be her edge at the upcoming Miss World 2025, which is scheduled in February. “Because I really want to grab every opportunity and use it to my advantage, especially when I entered the Miss World competition. It’s not easy because there will be, I think, a hundred or more candidates who will be competing on the international stage. So, I would like to grab this opportunity as well and use it as an advantage,” the beauty queen from Baguio remarked.
Music is a new field for Krishnah and she admitted that she had no self-confidence when it comes to singing. And many got surprised when she ventured into such.
She told The STAR that her passion for music began when she was 12. It was her dad who taught her how to play the guitar. “That time, more like playing the guitar lang talaga, wala pa yung singing aspect. But as time goes by, of course, when you play the guitar, you also have to sing.
“So that’s when I discovered my love for singing. Sabi ko nga po, sa bahay lang akong kumakanta. The Miss World Philippines Talent Competition was the first time I sang in a large crowd.”
That was the time when she realized that she has a knack for singing. “The handlers from the Miss World (Philippines) organization messaged me as well, saying that I have potential nga daw po in this industry. So I reassessed myself, I asked myself, ‘Do I really want this?’ But at the end of the day, life is too short to just stick to one industry.”
So now, she is embracing her talent for music and she is thrilled for what the future holds for her in the music business. “So yung grandma ko kasi, she’s a devoted Roman Catholic and she sings in the church. And I grew up seeing her singing in the church. So maybe dun ko po nakuha yung influence ko in singing.”
Given the chance to collaborate, she would like to do it with Moira dela Torre and Dionela. Her genre is bossa nova but she would love to explore other music genres, too,
Universal Records Philippines managing director Kathleen Dy-Go noted that Krishnah is more of a pop singer. “That’s what Arnold said also, but we can touch on a little bossa nova every now and then. But really as a general genre, it’s pop music.”
“I think it’s a surprise that everyone thinks that you can sing, Krishnah,” she told Krishnah. “She has a beautiful voice and we’re really excited to put out her new single soon.”
