Ronnie Liang




To recall, Ronnie serenaded us with the breathtaking lyrics of “Ngiti,” thrilled us when he starred in the critically acclaimed indie movie “Esoterika: Maynila” where he won Best Actor, and impressed us when he bagged the Best Actor in a featured role in “Bituing Walang Ningning: The Musical” held at Resorts World Manila.

And just last year, he was a part of the movies “100 Tula Para Kay Stella” and “Fan Girl Fan Boy” under Viva Films which further proved he is one great talent to watch out for. Managed by Viva Artist Agency, he has become a man with many faces and superb talents, entering the scene with such flair and becoming one of the most sought-after singers in the country.

To hone his talent, the multi-awarded singer turned actor is currently attending an acting workshop under the supervision of Director Rahyan Carlos of Star Magic.

Presently, he’s working on his fifth album set for release in the first quarter of 2018 under Viva Records.

Ronnie said he is forever grateful to Boss Vic del Rosario, Boss Vincent and Veronique of Viva Management for believing in his talent and supporting his career. Ronnie looks forward to doing more projects under Viva.
