Clifford Allen Estrala’s 360-degree turn to stardom
From his humble beginnings (as a student assistant to the priests in La Union and as a band singer at the Venetian Hotel in Macau), Clifford Allen Estrala’s life took a three hundred sixty-degree turn towards stardom in the music industry.
His life story was featured in an episode of Kara David’s OFW Diaries and in Maalaala Mo Kaya with popular male balladeer/actor Erik Santos essaying the life of the OFW singer.
“I still have a lot to share when it comes to my life, my journey, so I am open to a part 2 of my MMK stint, or possibly in Magpakailanman,” Clifford said with a smile.
Clifford later moved on to be one of the members of the Philippine Consulate in Macau joining the Philippine Independence celebrations.
The Asia’s Singing Sensation was also a nominee at the PMPC Star Awards for Music in the Best New Male Recording Artist category in 2013 for his album “Only In My Dreams.”
He’s had very successful shows in Palawan, Cebu, Davao Puerto Galera thru the kindness and support of Mr. Alejo Bryan Fajardo who is from Tagudin, Ilocos Sur.
Clifford also travelled to Batac, Ilocos Norte for a photo shoot sponsored by Spaceydreams from California (www.spaceydreams.com and spaceydreams.bigcartel.com ).
Shot by Photographer Edison Olalo Adzuara (styling by Jay “Arjay” Asuncion), his pictorial included Clifford’s tattoo arts executed by tattoo artists Kristian Bumatay and Kenneth Andres of Santiago, Ilocos Sur.
It is in Santiago, Ilocos Sur that Clifford had a well-meaning Holy Week observance with his family.
Having conquered stages in the Philippines, Macau, Singapore, Malaysia and other countries in Asia where he had already been acknowledged as an amazing artist by the Filipino community, Clifford is currently in San Jose, California for a big musical show.
With great potential and immense talent, Clifford, in no time, will surely reach the peak of his career.
