Mylin

 

Born in the Philippines and growing up in the U.S., as a teenager Mylin was plucked from Midwest City, Oklahoma to star on The Disney Channel’s The New Mickey Mouse Club, the show that also starred Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera and Ryan Gosling.  

After three years on the show, at 19, Mylin signed with international major label Avex Inc., joining label mates Britney Spears and Backstreet Boys.  Mylin released 7 albums (4 on the label), with a string of hit singles that were included on 50 compilation albums, alongside Pink, NSync and Britney Spears, selling over 1 million copies.  She’s topped dozens of international radio charts with Madonna, Mariah Carey, U2, Celine Dion, Aerosmith, Jennifer Lopez and Whitney Houston.  

Mylin has been featured in dozens of magazines and news programs around the world, including E! Channel, A&E Biography, CNN, The Disney Channel, and in People magazine.

Throughout her career Mylin has performed at President Clinton’s Inaugural Ball with Boyz II Men, Vanessa Williams, and Kenny Loggins, on the Jerry Lewis Telethon, played shows on multi-platinum artist Nick Lachey’s Tour, and performed with Grammy-Winner Patti LaBelle and Grammy-Nominated Five for Fighting. 

Mylin has also played over a dozen shows at U.S. military bases in support of the troops, including for the Air Force’s 60th Anniversary Gala at Edwards Air Force Base and before 80,000 at Fort Hood, TX.  Mylin has also performed the national anthem at Major League Baseball and NBA games. 

Mylin almost never made it to the U.S.  Born in the Philippines to a father in the U.S. Navy and a Filipino mother, Mylin’s father was encouraged to return to the U.S. without she and her mother due to his young age of 18 and their different backgrounds.  The day he was to ship out, he got into a serious motorcycle accident.  Injured in the hospital, he decided he couldn’t spend the rest of his life without Mylin and her mother, and returned to the U.S. with his daughter and wife.  

"I'm so thankful to have had the opportunities I've had," Mylin says.  "Everything good in my life has come from the hand of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ."
