To be a recording artist has been Derrick Monasterio’s childhood dream.

Present at his contract signing with GMA Records were (from left) GMA Artist Center Assistant Vice President Simoun Ferrer, Executive Vice President and COO of GMA Records Felipe S. Yalong, and GMA Records Managing Director Rene Salta.

Derrick is set to release his first solo album under GMA Records early next year.

He is surely a good addition to GMA Records’ talented roster that includes Alden Richards, Julie Anne San Jose, Rita Daniela and Julian Trono.

Congratulations on your recording deal, Kapuso!
