Garrett Bolden, Kyryll receive top recognitions at 33rd Awit Awards

The Clash season 1 alumni Garrett Bolden and Kyryll are more inspired and ready to conquer greater heights in the music scene following their wins at the 33rd Awit Awards held via livestream last Saturday, August 29.

After being named as New Male Recording Artist of the Year at the 11th PMPC Star Awards for Music last January, Kapuso Soul Balladeer Garrett Bolden is humbled to receive the People's Choice Awards for Favorite New Male Artist at this year's Awit Awards.

“I'm really thankful dahil I didn't expect to receive any award especially during this time. Nakita ko po kung gaano kasigasig 'yung fans ko at nakakatuwang isipin na kahit na nasa gitna tayo ng pandemic, nandiyan pa rin sila para suportahan ako. I always give my best in all my performances para sa kanila because that's one way of reciprocating their love and support for me” related Garrett.

Meanwhile, Kapuso Soul Princess Kyryll bagged the Best Performance By A New Female Recording Artist for her performance of “Silent Rumblings,” under GMA Music. She expressed her sincerest gratitude to the people behind this significant milestone.

“I was really surprised. Hindi ko po in-expect. Nakaka-overwhelm po na na-recognize ako ng PARI and my very first single. I'm so grateful to GMA Music, GMA Artist Center, at sa lahat po ng sumusuporta sa akin. I don't know how to put into words how grateful I am to my fans especially sa mga taong nandiyan para sumuporta simula pa noong 'The Clash',” she said.

The Awit Awards is given by the Philippine Association of the Recording Industry (PARI) to recognize the best in the Philippine music industry.
