When Girado was five years old, she started singing in a corner of a room and her father noticed it.〔 After seeing the potential in his daughter, Filbert trained her critically. Like the traditional technique of vocalization, she was submerged into a drum of water while belting out her high notes. Later, she was declared as daily winner on GMA ''Lunchdates "Bulilit Jamboree" in 1985. In 1991, she joined the most popular defunct talent search in the Philippines, ''Tanghalan ng Kampeon'', where she became a champion for seven weeks.〔 Filbert's plans for Nina have changed when she grew older. Instead of a professional music career, he wanted his daughter to earn college degree, and to join him in the United States to find work. She took up Accountancy at Miriam College, since she was good at numbers. Her father insisted that she would take up Law as a latter course. Because of too much love for singing, she disobeyed her father and joined different bands. He eventually gave up on trying to stop her, and just told her to maintain good grades. She did get good grades, and was even a consistent dean's lister.〔 At seventeen, Girado became a vocalist of the XS band.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Nina – About )〕 In 2000, she finished Accountancy while performing for different bands including The Big Thing, MYMP, Silk and the Essence.〔 After college, she recorded an amateur demo CD with the help of a friend.〔 It was composed of three tracks, including the Steve Perry song "Foolish Heart", "Breathe Again" and "Against All Odds (Take a Look at Me Now)", recorded in a home studio with only a guitar for accompaniment.〔〔 Her brother King brought her demo to different recording labels. Ricky Ilacad, who was managing director of Warner Music Philippines at that time, heard the demo and immediately wanted to sign her up even without seeing or hearing her in person.〔〔 Two months after her father died of a heart attack in the U.S., she signed her first recording contract with Warner.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nina Girado」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
