Rise to fame
At fourteen years old, she released her debut album Popstar: A Dream Come True. The debut album was awarded a sixtuple (6x) platinum award, selling over 180,000 copies. Aside from singing, she has also done supporting roles for movies like "Filipinas", "Captain Barbell" and "Annie B." and has starred in her own television soap opera entitled "Sarah, The Teen Princess". She has also scored endorsement deals for Jollibee, Charmee and Talk And Text for Smart Communications.
Sarah released her sophomore album in November 2004 entitled Sweet Sixteen, which achieved gold status in only one week. The album has been awarded double platinum selling over 60,000 copies.
She also starred opposite Mark Bautista, her runner-up, in the fantasy film "Lastikman". Though the movie did not fare well in the box office, it succeeded on increasing Sarah's image as more than a singer.
In 2005, Sarah sang the theme of reality show winners Hero Angeles and Sandara Park's launching movie "Can This Be Love",which was released as a maxi-single and achieved gold record status in a months time. She also became a mainstay in the fourth season of "SCQ Reload, Kilig Ako". Sarah is a talent of VIVA Entertainment Group and is part of ABS-CBN.
In the summer of 2005, Sarah together with her fellow champions reunited for a United States Tour of Pinoy Idols: Return Of The Champions which was brought to selected cities in the U.S. for a two-month period. In addition, she went on to perform in her first major solo concert, "The Other Side" in the Araneta Colliseum.
The year of 2006 was a great one for Sarah. In the span of the year, she was lead star to ABS-CBN's top primetime soap opera, "Bituing Walang Ningning", a remake of the 1985 classic box-office hit movie. She stars as Dorina, the role originally played by Sharon Cuneta in the movie version in 1985. Her third studio album entitled Becoming was also released and reached Platinum status in no time. On November 18, 2006, she sang the Philippine National Anthem ("Lupang Hinirang") at the third encounter between super featherweight boxers Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao of the Philippines and Erik "El Terrible" Morales of Mexico at the UNLV Thomas and Mack Center.
Sarah is now a mainstay of ASAP '07, a once-a-week, noontime, musical variety show, and hosts Little Big Superstar, a reality star search for kiddie performers, now on its third season with Makisig Morales as her co-host.
Sarah Gerónimo, tinseltown's newest Cinderella, grew up in Sta. Cruz, Manila, in a rented house.
To say that Sarah loved to perform is an understatement. She actively participated in school programs and joined many singing contests. At three, she was already in the kiddie show "Pen pen de Sarapen." She was also cast in "For Kids Only" and "Hiraya Manawari". She was part of the first batch of stars in "Ang TV."
But it was Sarah's talent for singing that her father chose to focus on and improve by enrolling at the "Center For Pop Music Philippines" at six years old.
He trained Sarah at home for two hours everyday.
There is always indeed, a bright side for Sarah Gerónimo. No matter the workload, she says she enjoys it so much when kids join her onstage when she performs.
