Charice Performs On Oprah, Releases CD 5/10

Red hot new singing sensation Charice who celebrates her 18th birthday on May 10th is giving fans a reason to celebrate also with the release of her highly anticipated self titled debut album scheduled for release the very next day. Also, on the May 11th release day, Charice will perform on The Oprah Winfrey Show (her 4th visit to the Oprah stage) during the day and is scheduled to perform on QVC later that evening.

Charice, along with 15 time Grammy award winning songwriter and producer David Foster, will perform on QVC at 8pm (EST). During the QVC Presents QSessions Live, Charice will unveil songs from her debut album and give fans an exclusive inside look at the inspiration behind her music and career. This is the first time in QVC history that a new artist will be featured on the day of their debut release.

Charice's first single, the anthemic love song "Pyramid" featuring Iyaz, has already jumped to No. 2 on the Billboard Dance Charts and her single is currently being played on over 100 radio stations across the U.S.

"We are thrilled to have Charice debuting her new album on QVC," said Rob Ellerstein, director of merchandising for QVC. "As one of the most highly-anticipated releases this year, Charice's appearance promises to be one that fans won't want to miss."

"Everyone at Reprise Records is passionate in their commitment to the success of Charice and the early indications have already told us that we have a tremendous star with an extraordinary future," commented Reprise Records president Diarmuid Quinn. "We are especially excited about the exposure she will have on day of release with appearances on Oprah and her special live concert for QVC. Charice has recorded a brilliant record and is a thrilling performer. David Foster has once again brought us an artist that we fully expect will continue his amazing track record for discovering unique talent like Josh Groban and Michael Bublé," he concluded.

"I feel very blessed to have people like David Foster, Oprah Winfrey, my Reprise family and the QVC people believe in me...I know the week of May 10th will be a week I will remember for the rest of my life," said Charice.

Charice, who has already racked up more than 13 million views on YouTube, began her singing career at age four when her mother discovered her singing on a table, and went on to perform in several singing contests in Southeast Asia. One of her many fans ("Chasters") put one of her performances on YouTube, and a star was born. She first appeared in the U.S. on The Ellen Show, and then came to the attention of "Hit Man" David Foster who signed her to his 143/Reprise Records. On 2009, Charice revisited the Oprah Show to perform the Diane Warren-written and David Foster-produced "Note to God." In the weeks that followed, the Foster-produced track sold 110,000 total downloads.
