Biography

Gerard began his musical education, taking piano lessons, at the age of 5. He later collaborated with his sister, the Tony award-winning singer-actress Lea Salonga, singing duets in her first album, Small Voice ("Happiness"), as well as taking part on the eight Metro Manila Popular Music Festival as interpreters for the second placer song entry "Musika, Lata, Sipol at La La La" by Tess Concepcion in 1985. Gerard is naturally associated with Lea throughout the length and breadth of her distinguished singing career, but had since successfully established his own stature and identity in Manila's music scene.
