Biography
Early life and discovery
Born on January 5, 1981, she was named Melanie Hernandez Calumpad in Tondo, Manila. Weaned on her parent’s old school soul and jazz records—Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, and Aretha Franklin— Melanie soon developed an affinity to singing, hugging the mic every single chance she gets. By her 10th birthday, Melanie was already joining over prestigious TV singing contests. "Tanghalan ng Kampeon" was her first singing contest but on DZRH “Hamon sa Kampeon” was her first win in 1991. She was lording "Tanghalan ng Kampeon" for six straight weeks, and with her powerful interpretation of Jennifer Holiday’s “I Am Changing,” became the show’s grand champion in 1993.
Veteran director Al Quinn saw her potential, encouraging her to join the immensely popular Wednesday group of That’s Entertainment, an afternoon variety show on GMA Network using her real name, Melanie, as her screen name.
Melanie represented the country in the Fourth Yamaha Music Quest on August 1995 in Japan, where she interpreted the Vehnee Saturno original, "Only World".
In 1997, she brought home the third prize trophy in the Metropop Young Singers’ Competition (later renamed Metropop Star Search). Soon GMA’s Infiniti Records offered Melanie, along with fellow Metropop Star Search winners Carmela Cunta and Jonard Yanzon, to wax a couple of songs for a compilation album entitled "Kung Umiibig Na". She recorded two solo tracks: "I Wish You Love"" and the folksy love song, "Kung Magkikita Tayo Muli", which would later re-emerge as a Vina Morales signature hit, "Muli".
Armed with a Raymund Ryan composition, "One More Try", Melanie once again joined the Metropop Song Festival in 2000. The song failed to make it in the Top 12. It did, however, make it to EMI’s A/R Manager Francis Guevarra’s consciousness. Guevarra immediately signed her to a recording deal with EMI Philippines on April 2000 and was given the stage name "Kyla" meaning princess.
She graduated high school at San Sebastian College - Recoletos and earned her Bachelor degree of BS Mass Communication in Philippine Christian University.
2000-2003: Debut and early international activity
Kyla made her big debut in 2000 with Way To Your Heart with its hit carrier single, “Bring It On.” The album brought out the realization that yes, the country’s first honest-to-goodness R&B has arrived. Comparisons to R&B super stars Brandy and Aaliyah began to surface.
It was her second single, the piano-driven ballad "Hanggang Ngayon"" that turned out to be Kyla’s breakthrough hit, topping a host of FM radio charts. The song’s music video, which was directed by Lyle Sacris, further boosted the song’s popularity. The video won for Kyla two big honors trophies at the 2001 MTV Pilipinas Awards: Best New Artist and Video of the year. Her video even went on to win the MTV Southeast Asia Video Music Award.
Along with Lea Salonga and Regine Velasquez, Kyla was listed as Best Female Singer in a survey held by popular teen magazine Meg in her first full year in the music business alone. Kyla also has six Awit Awards, including Best New Female Artist. FM Radio station KF FM even hailed her as Breakthrough Artist of the Year.
Kyla’s second album I Feel for You marked Kyla’s debut as a songwriter, penning two compositions: "I’m Into You"" and "This Day". It is with her sophomore offering that Kyla was given the opportunity to collaborate with popular recording artists like Freestyle and Gary Valenciano. She also collaborated with Malaysian R&B artist, Ferhad for his single "What More"
