Biography

Born in the Philippines and having grown up in the U.S., Mylin has released 6 albums, including 4 on an international major label. She’s sold over 85,000 albums and has been included on more than 50 compilation albums, selling over 1 million copies.
She’s topped international charts with Mariah Carey, Destiny’s Child, Sheryl Crow, Janet Jackson, Madonna, and U2.

Mylin has been featured in dozens of magazines and news programs around the world, including The E! Channel, A&E Biography, CNN, The Disney Channel, and People magazine.

As a teenager, Mylin was handpicked to star on The Disney Channel’s The Mickey Mouse Club. After three years on the show, she signed a development deal with Atlantic Records in the U.S., before signing with the international major label in Japan and Southeast Asia, joining label mates Britney Spears and The Backstreet Boys.

In 2008, Mylin signed a 4-year deal for her own line of foxy faux nails called Mylin Fing’rs Edge, which has her on packaging and displays in over 3,000 Wal-Marts across the U.S. In March, she met with fashion editors from Teen Vogue, CosmoGirl!, Seventeen, People, and OK Magazine in New York City to promote the line. Mylin also has promotional partnerships with Daisy Rock Guitars, Taverniti jeans, Antik Denim, and national non-profit organizations ThanksUSA and Freshi Flix.

Over the last three years, Mylin has played shows on multi-platinum artist Nick Lachey’s Tour, with Grammy-Winner Patti LaBelle, Grammy-Nominated Five for Fighting, multi-platinum artists Tantric and Mark Chesnutt, and major artists Beth Hart and Jonatha Brooke. She’s performed at venues, including the Nokia Theatre in New York City, Los Angeles’ Staples Center, Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, The Roxy in Hollywood, Las Vegas’ Celebrity Theater, and The Avalon Theatre in Hollywood.

Mylin is one of a handful of female artists, including Sheila E, asked to participate in an upcoming 2009 documentary and compilation album called Making Music Herstory involving all female artists, writers, and producers. She is also one of a small group of artists that have been asked to take part in an upcoming "pink playlist" with iTunes for the Susan G. Komen for the Cure organization, the global leader of the breast cancer movement and world’s largest grassroots network of breast cancer survivors and activists. iTunes is setting up a separate "room" for the initiative that will be available to a group of 500,000 women.

Her father having been in the U.S. military, Mylin has played 12 shows at U.S. military bases in support of the troops. In 2007, she performed at the Air Force’s 60th Anniversary Gala at Edwards Air Force Base, and this summer before 80,000 at Fort Hood, Texas for a Welcome Home Celebration for the Army’s 1st Cavalry Division from Iraq.

Mylin, who plays guitar and piano, has worked with a number of top producers in the music business, including Robin Thicke (Marc Anthony, Usher), David Frank (Christina Aguilera, Phil Collins), Howie Hersh
(Mariah Carey, JaRule), Travon Potts (Christina Aguilera, Monica), Sander Selover (Hanson, Wild Orchid), and Ron Harris (Christina Aguilera).

In 2007, Mylin performed at the National Breast Cancer Coalition Fund benefit in Hollywood, hosted by Academy Award-winner Felicity Huffman (Desperate Housewives), and included fellow participants Wendy Malick (Just Shoot Me), Melina Kanakaredes (CSI:NY), Steven Weber (Wings), Lucy Lawless (Zena), Peri Gilpin (Frasier), and Melissa Peterman (Reba).

Mylin, who grew up in Oklahoma, almost never made it to the U.S. Born in the Philippines to a father in the U.S. Navy and a Filipino mother, Mylin’s father was encouraged to return to the U.S. without she and her
mother due to his young age of 18 and their different backgrounds. The day he was to ship out, he got into a serious motorcycle accident. Badly injured in the hospital, he decided he didn't want to spend the rest of his life without Mylin and her mother. Two-year-old Mylin and her mother were flown to the U.S. in a C-130 military transport plane, carrying the bodies of deceased U.S. soldiers. The trip took a week and a half.

  "Just like her co-stars on the new Mickey Mouse Club (Christina Aguilera, Justin Timberlake and Brit..."Just like her co-stars on the new Mickey Mouse Club (Christina Aguilera, Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears), Mylin has chosen to tackle the highly competitive pop music market, and she appears to have the chops to pull it off.
  
  Mylin is comfortable regardless of whether she is simply singing, or playing and singing.
  
  Mylin started off her set with a bang with the song, "My Own Little Groove," and then proceeded to wow adults and children alike with a funky and lively set. She was appreciative of her audience, especially the children, who responded by singing with gusto. They seemed to be genuinely excited and inched close enough to almost reach out and touch their idol.
  
  The audience seemed most impressed with Mylin's "bad boy" song, "I'm in the Way." Her set included many different musical styles, from ballads to dance to acoustical classic rock, and ended appropriately with Mylin's autobiographical tribute to the troops, "American Girl."
  
  "The set was smooth and had wonderful dynamics. Mylin's musical style and approach are more akin to Aguilera than Spears. She has strong musical resources, her songs are family-friendly and, within that context, she shows great range and potential."
