Sheryn Regis-Crystal Voice of Asia

Sheryn Regis (born Sheryn Mae Poncardas Regis) is a Filipina pop singer, composer and she has dubbed as Crystal Voice of Asia. Sheryn was a consistent top scorer of Star in a Million, where she eventually ended as runner-up to Erik Santos in January 2004. She is a member of ABS-CBN homegrown talent, Star Magic.


Sheryn was born and raised in Carcar, Cebu to Bernardo and Daisy Regis. She is the eldest of three kids, and has two siblings: Elton and Joseph. Regis' mother guided her in singing. At the age of 2, Sheryn was able to hum and sing simple tunes as her mom recalls. Her first and favorite contest piece was Ms. Kuh Ledesma?s ?Dito Ba,? which Sheryn learned at the age of five. At seven, Sheryn started joining amateur singing contests. Her winnings were used to buy tapes of Shirley Bassey?s hits for her next contest piece. And at the age of eight, Sheryn won her first grand prize by singing Ms. Tillie Moreno?s ?Saan Ako Nagkamali??



Aside from singing, Regis offered voice lessons to children while in high school. During her college years, Sheryn was able to finish her B.S. Secondary Education, with a major in English at Cebu Normal University. It was during these years, too, that she was exposed to theater acting and chorale singing. It gave her a chance to travel abroad, and to perform for Filipino communities in Canada and in the USA. Both Mr. Leo Martinez and Ms. Gina Alajar served as workshop mentors. In 1999, she was awarded as the "Best Interpreter" at the Cebu Pop Music Festival (a songwriting festival), and the original composition that she sang also won the Grand Prize.



Regis worked as a lounge singer at the Cebu Plaza Hotel where she met Earl Echiverri (cousin of Caloocan City mayor Enrico "Recom" Echiverri). In 2002, they exchanged vows and had a daughter nicknamed ?Sweety? the following year.



In 2003, Regis entered ABS-CBN?s Star in a Million. She was the consistent top finalist and was dubbed the Power Belter, but ended up as the first runner-up and texter?s choice awardee. After this, Regis went back to Cebu, and was later offered a recording contract by ABS-CBN and another recording company. She accepted ABS-CBN?s offer. Sheryn already worked and collaborated with some of the country's respective singers like Regine Velasquez, Gary Valenciano, Martin Nievera, Lani Misalucha, Zsa Zsa Padilla, Dulce, Pilita Corales, Jose Mari Chan, Bituin Escalante, Vina Morales and many more.



She has also performed together with fellow singers Sarah Geronimo, Erik Santos, Rachelle Ann Go, Frenchie Dy, Jerome Sala, Kris Lawrence, Jed Madela, Mark Bautista, and Christian Bautista, and has garnered fame in The Philippines, and internationally, as part of the group dubbed "The Champions."
