Miss Universe Philippines 2023 Michelle Dee has just announced her upcoming debut as a music artist.
Though she’s made her foray into acting aside from pageantry, the 29-year-old beauty queen shared the news during her guest anchor segment of Chika Minute at the popular news show 24 Oras. She announced that she is the first GMA Sparkle artist to release a song under Star Music. “This is it, mga Kapuso! I am deeply honored to share my music sa kauna-unahang collaboration ng Star Music and GMA Music. Maraming maraming salamat po sa aking Sparkle family for this opportunity,” said Dee during her guesting.
The news was also corroborated on the official social media accounts of Star Music, wherein the powerhouse label welcomed her to their roster of artists, which include top-tier talents like BINI, Darren Espanto, BGYO, and more. Further details of Dee’s debut single “REYNA” were also shared with the announcement, stating a release date of March 7, 2025 (Friday). “Thank you for the warmest welcome @starmusicph family, I can’t wait for everyone to hear what we’ve been working on,” replied the renowned beauty queen in the comments.
Dee’s musical debut with “REYNA” serves as the first-ever collaboration between Star Music and GMA Music, breaking new barriers for the Philippine entertainment and music industry. Aside from her forthcoming musical endeavors, she is also currently starring in the ongoing Kapuso series titled Lolong: Bayani ng Bayan, playing the role of Apong Ayo on the show.
Dee was first crowned as Miss Universe Philippines last May 2023, and represented the Philippines in El Salvador during the Miss Universe 2023 program proper. She then placed within the Top 10, and won four special awards such as the Spirit of Carnival Award, Best in National Costume, Fan Vote Winner, and Voice for Change Gold Winner, making her the most awarded candidate in the pageant’s history.
