Notes on Laarni:

At a young age, Laarni left Sultan Kudarat to find a better life in Manila, but with the promise that when she came back home, fresh with accomplishments they could all be proud of, she would set the family free from the poverty.

In Manila, Laarni came face to face with more hardships and suffering.Without her family to turn to, she found a lot of friends who shared her interest and passion in singing. Through them, her knowledge in music was enhanced, boosting up her confidence to sing.

Her voice as her asset, Laarni found ways to send herself to school. To graduate from college would be the first step toward fulfilling her promise to her family. But when the opportunity for a showbiz career knocked, she chose to drop school for the meantime and give PinoyDreamAcademy a try.With PDA, she could find herself delivering her promise of achievements to her family earlier than she expected.

Even at a very young age, she found solace emulating and listening to her idols Lea Salonga and Regine Velasquez, she schooled herself early on to singing the songs of her musical idols.She won various singing competitions in Sultan Kudarat to further hone her singing and performing skills. Knowing that she had the talent to really make it big, she dreamed that one day, she would be able make her mark in the music scene of the Philippines as a famous recording artist and help her family escape the claws of poverty.

When she was 15 years old, her Aunt from the US vowed to help Laarni make her mark as a singer. Her aunt enrolled Laarni to performing and voice lessons and also enrolled her at the School of Music of The Philippine Women's University. Although her aunt was not a singer, she was all out for her support for Laarni, she would teach her how to use her hands when she was singing, she would teach her how to use her face in expressing the meaning of her songs in order to better her performances. She taught her to observe her gestures, her non-verbal actions when she was performing. Through her aunt's connections, she became a talent of the late and great Rudy Francisco of the Calesa Bar. Rudy also mentored some of the finest lounge singers in the Philippines like Sitti, Mari Nallos, Janet Basco, Vernie Varga, Joey Albert, Dulce, Marissa Sanchez, Ivy Violan, Isay Alvarez, Lourna Pal, Aliya Parcs, Raymond Lauchenco and the Side A band.

Feeling culture shocked about the sophistication of her peers, who were all fashionable and eloquent in english, Laarni decided to shift her course from Music to Education. Laarni, vowed to become a better person, a better performer, an eloquent speaker and a confident singer.


Laarni, a devout Catholic found solace in singing at the PWU Church everyday. She would sing at the 12 noon mass and vocalize everyday to further hone her voice. She would vocalize with her church friends and co-singers. This singing exposure helped Laarni become a permanent fixture at all events of The Philippine Women's University, she would sing for different functions, singing competitions and other guestings. Her talent also helped helped her become a University scholar, which required Laarni to work as a student assistant of the school.

Laarni joined different singing competitions, she won the Rotary Club Intercollegiate/University singing competition, besting 25 schools in Manila by rendering the patriotic anthem "Dakilang Lahi". She also won the National Grand Finals of the "Campus Idol" search, by delivering a flawless performance of "What Kind of Fool Am I", that left judge Wency Cornejo speechless.

Laarni also tried to be independent. There were times when she felt so alone and hopeless but she never gave up on her dreams. She knew that God is guiding her and vowed that she would give it her all so that her dreams would come true! She vowed that she would be singing to give glory and honor to God. She was always assisted by her friends and mentors from the University. She worked as a wedding singer with her best friend Mark, the 2 would be singing in different churches, hotels and venues all over the metropolis.

She joined the PWU Church chorale, The Ambassadors of Light -a chorale for the blind people, The Malate Church Chorale and the Coro de San Sebastian, a Madrigal et. al chorale. Through her extensive chorale background she was able to perform with the Philippine Madrigal Singers in a Madrigal Et Al concert with her chorale Coro De San Sebastian.

Upon learning about the auditions of Pinoy Dream Academy Season 2, Laarni grabbed the opportunity at once. Singing her favorite song "Lead Me Lord", Laarni was able to make it through to the top 16 and really get the admiration of the PDA 2 Dream Mentors.

Vocal Ability


Laarni, a full-lyric soprano, is noted by many Filipino fans as a person with an extremely powerful voice. Many people also noted her flexible singing style. In the contest alone, she has sung fourteen different musical genres within eight gala nights. Her vocal range is also attributed to be extremely wide, which has been proven by her performances prior to and during her stay in the academy-

* Although Laarni is a full-lyric soprano, when she sang "On The Wings of Love" on their 9th Gala Night as part of the counterpointing theme with Jay "Bugoy" Bugoyan, Laarni was able to sing the lowest notes in the first part of the song, which are commonly the lowest notes a mezzo-soprano can reach.
* Laarni was able to sing full falsetto on her own version of "Light Of A Million Morning" therefore complying with the demanding tessitura.
* Laarni was also shown being able to sing continuous headtones, while almost entering the whistle register range in her showdown with Catherine "Poy" Palma, the PDA Season 2's Honorary Scholar.
* Guest Juror, Dulce, during the 10th Gala Night once commented that her powerful voice was perfect enough to sing alongside her partner, the 2005 World Championships of Performing Arts finalist and winner Jed Madela, showing how Laarni can compare to even the more experienced singers and performers.
* On August 24, 2008, Laarni performed on ASAP (as her prize for being Star Scholar the previous week), and performed "Hiram" with the Divine Diva herself, Zsa Zsa Padilla.
