Miles Davis
Somehow in his more than forty years of recording, Miles Davis

never drifted into irrelevancy. He was an intense and spiritual
figure who refused to be pigeon-holed by any single style of
expression. Through his trumpet playing and band leadership, he
constantly sought new ways to manifest improvised performance.
This rejection of the status quo put him at the forefront of major
developments in jazz and rock last century - including bebop, cool jazz, fusion, and even jazz hip-hop.
William Hung
Truly great musical talents aren't often heard. You won't find one every
year, or even every generation. In fact, whole millenniums tend to slip away
without one surfacing. No, certain talents only come along once in human
history, and that's the case with William Hung.
Elvis Presley
Elvis didn't like being called a hero, nor did he enjoy the "king of
rock 'n roll" moniker. Teased as a child in Tupelo, Mississippi, he
became a loner, learning to play the guitar and finding inspiration in
black gospel music and Memphis' bustling Beale Street blues scene.
Louis Armstrong
Louis Armstrong was jazz's first superstar. Satchmo's

explosive creativity defied conventions of early New Orleans
jazz; he was a charismatic showman and dazzling trumpet
player who was, literally, too good for his band. His
performances were largely responsible for shifting the focus
from the group to the soloist, and he was also quite an
innovator when it came to scat.
The Rolling Stones
They may have claimed "It's only rock n' roll," but the music
of the Rolling Stones helped define a generation. Mick
Jagger, Keith Richards and the crew came to represent the
edgier side of the British Invasion, serving as countercultural
symbols of youthful rebellion and sexual liberation during a
time of sweeping social change.
Name : Ely Buendia

About : He is the former guitarist and lead vocalist of the popular
Eraserheads for 13 years. Currently he is also the lead vocalist of
Pupil. Known for songs such as Ang Huling El Bimbo, Alapaap, With
Ligaya, Pare Ko, and many more. His music together with his former
Eraserheads are still, very popular today and really influenced many
lovers specially young people.
Name : Yoyoy Villame
About : I can say he is one of a kind musician ever lived here in the
Philippines. His music are all unique and very Filipino. Being a comedian he
brought his talent into his music, making his compositions very funny
relaxing to hear. Some of his popular music includes the Happy
Birthday, The Teacher and the Pupils, Mr. Robot-bot, Buhay at
ibig ni Barok, Butsekik, Gusot na Rin and more. He died on
18, 2007 due to cardiac arrest.
Name : Lea Salonga

international record. She is also considered as one of the bestselling Filipino artists of all time. She is popularly known for her
as Kim in Miss Saigon. And as of now she is one of the of the

century he had become its master composer.
Over his lifetime, he produced over 200
cantatas, concertos, and suites, which are still
considered among the most beautifully
arranged pieces of all time.

that, releasing eleven blockbuster studio albums

reinvention, she has endlessly reworked her
image and style, affecting our culture in myriad,
rippling ways.
Billie Holiday
Billie Holiday didn't write that many of her songs, but

her gift, like that of an inspired classical musician,
was in the interpretation. Her voice summoned that
which was dramatic, urgent and necessary as if from
the center of the earth.
Robert Johnson
According to folklore, Robert Johnson made a
deal with the Devil in order to gain mastery of
the guitar. Hell, no matter how he got it, the
Mississippian has influenced pretty much every
rock musician you love. Keith Richards said he
was as good as the blues can get, Eric Clapton
called him the most important blues musician
that ever lived, and he's considered one of the greatest guitarists of all time.
