About Gary Valenciano

For the past 38 years, Gary Valenciano, a multi-awarded Filipino inspirational artist, composer, and arranger, has enthralled local and international audiences with his breathtaking performances and groundbreaking music. By blood Gary is half-Puerto Rican and half-Filipino. He first entered the public eye in 1983—an energetic 18 year-old with Michael Jackson swagger and a heart-pinching voice with solid range like Al Jarreau. Over three decades later, with 12 Awit Awards for Best Performance (by a Male Recording Artist) and 39 best-selling albums, Gary continues to entertain and inspire his fans and followers—over 4 million on Twitter, over 900,000 on Facebook, over 600,000 followers on Instagram, over 200,000 subscribers on YouTube and millions of viewers who replay his music on Spotify, Apple Music, and other media platforms. While achieving all this and more, it is also publicly known that Gary is successful despite having lived with Type 1 juvenile diabetes for 43 years. Gary’s gift, while also being a famous individual, is making any person with him feel they are worthy of joyful attention and Godly encouragement. He has been a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador for the past 23 years—a distinction shared by other well-known colleagues in the entertainment industry.
