Multi-talented Fil-Canadian by Crispina Martinez - Belen August 26, 2016 (updated) Read more at http://www.mb.com.ph/multi-talented-fil-canadian/#Hr6wFzo1vjWuqkY0.99

We met a talented young Fil-Canadian recently. Her name: Mary Kate Aquino. She’s only 17 but has done a lot in the field of performing arts.

A resident of Calgary, Canada, Mary Kate and her mom were in town recently for a family emergency and to firm up a recording deal with Vehnee Saturno.

Mary Kate recorded two singles this year, namely “Sayang” and “Binuhay Mong Muli.” Last year, she came out with her self-titled EP that included the song “Trouble.” The same year, she performed in her own concert titled “MKA.”

A confessed big fan of Sarah Geronimo, Mary Kate has rendered front act performances for Filipino singers who performed in Canada including Pops Fernandez, Martin Nievera, Sharon Cuneta, Sarah Geronimo, and Bamboo.

Mary Kate, who started singing in church at three years old, has competed in the World Championship of Performing Arts in Hollywood CA where she won seven medals. She is currently a singer-dancer with the Young Canadians Performing Arts of the Calgary Stampede.
