Perspective
Aguilar hails from Marikina, where she was born as Angellie G. Urquico, by which name she was known when she won the grand prize of ABS-CBN's singing competition Little Big Star, hosted by her idol Sarah Geronimo. As early as four years old, she already exemplified her singing talent at birthday parties and family gatherings. She has since joined over 50 contests which include Batang Vidaylin on ABC-5 (now The 5 Network) and Duet Bulilit on ABS-CBN's then noontime show MTB.[citation needed]
After her breakthrough triumph in Little Big Star, acting opportunities also opened. She starred in an episode of Maalaala Mo Kaya, where she played a 12-year-old girl who fell in love with a 26-year-old guy, played by Piolo Pascual. She made a few drama series appearances on ABS-CBN, such as Maria La Del Barrio, May Minamahal, and Palos. In film, she was seen in a minor role in Praybeyt Benjamin. She appeared in an indie film, Astig, starring Dennis Trillo, and another called Ugat sa Lupa.[1]
Aguilar signed up with Viva Artists Agency on May 15, 2010, and became a member of Pop Girls, along with Shy Carlos and Nadine Lustre.[2] The screen name "Anja Aguilar" came to be as a suggestion by VAA President Veronique R. Corpus. In January 2012, she was launched as one of ASAP 2012's main talents.[3] Her self-titled debut album was released in February.
The 10–track album Anja Aguilar has original compositions by Vehnee Saturno, including the hit carrier single "To Reach You". She also recorded a cover of Willie Revillame's song "I Love You", which was used by TV5's drama series P.S. I Love You as its theme song.[4] Director Monti Parungao, behind the music videos of "Bakit Pa Ba" by Sarah Geronimo and "Masasabi Mo Ba" by Rachelle Ann Go and reality shows like Survivor, also directed the video of "To Reach You".[5]
