Vanya underscores a woman’s inspiring journey in her debut extended play (EP) “woman” released under ABS-CBN’s Star Music.

In the five-track EP, vanya lays out the story of a woman who was broken by the world but eventually found herself back to who she really is.

“Although this EP is short, it’s a sweet taste of promise for me because I had to drag myself to write and confront things I’d much rather avoid through this,” vanya said, admitting that she finds it hard to write about things she hasn’t lived through.

“woman” includes her self-penned original songs “Mother,” “Real,” “Steady” and key track “Adoration” as well as “Breathe” composed by Justin Emmanuel Rivera. All tracks were produced by Pauline Lauron.

The Star Music artist hopes her EP will remind women “of the beauty that only they can give to the world and the softness that is their strength.”

A former “Idol Philippines” contestant and “Himig Handog 2019” interpreter, vanya is a music artist from Bacolod whose songs weave faith and music together into beautiful narratives. Prior to being a Star Music talent, she was a freelance artist and voice talent who performed commercial jingles. She is also a worship minister and a full-time youth campus missionary.
