Not Lovi. Aside from her studies that she considers her main priority, her showbiz commitments keep her busy. But she is not complaining. After all, not all teenagers were given a chance to experience the same opportunities she had. Being part of a popular variety show and a recording artist – all achieved at the tender age of 16.

Lovi which is short of her name Lourdes Virginia, started her singing career in top-rating variety show "SOP," where she sang a duet with no less than Ogie Alcasid. Since then, more guestings followed in various TV shows until she became a semi–regular of the said variety show. Her youthful charisma and sweet soothing voice grabbed the attention of Sony BMG executives prompting them to sign her up in their stable of artists which includes Lea Salonga and Sharon Cuneta.

"We found promise in Lovi the moment we heard her sing," said Sony BMG A&R Director Vic Valenciano.

Long before her debut album was released, her single "I Love You" went to #1 in the RX93.1 Weekly Charts for two weeks – a feat for a new solo artist like Lovi.

Now blossoming as a young woman at 17, Lovi releases her much anticipated 13 track debut album "The Best of My Heart." She is pleased with the result of the album. New single "I Never Knew Love," a song about discovering new love, is currently enjoying heavy airplay and rotation in various radio stations and music channels.

"I’ve always sung, ever since I could talk," said Lovi. "In this album, I gave my all...heart and soul."

What kind of music can fans expect from Lovi on "The Best Of My Heart?" A chameleon–like variety of changing moods, from the romantic ballad to the pop title track "The Best Of My Heart." From her take on the original Selena single "Dreaming Of You" to the upbeat "Everything You Wanted."

Love considers "You’re Still Here" a song she especially dedicated to her late father, very dear to her heart.

"The song touched me so much, I couldn’t help but cry after recording the song," said Lovi.

The 13 pop songs on "The Best of My Heart" were produced, arranged, written and mixed by the very best in the business. The album’s behind–the–scenes–talent includes Raymund Ryan (MYMP, Ariel Rivera Kyla, Carol Banawa); Ferdie Marquez (Brownman Revival, Cueshe); Jonathan Ong (Orange and Lemons, Sharon Cuneta); Edwin Marollano; Viktoria, Ogie Alcasid who wrote the song "Ikaw Na Nga Kaya?;" plus compositions from the international composers.

If that is not enough, this Colegio de San Agustin high school senior was personally handpicked by foreign group Same Same (Clint and Bob of The Moffats) for a duet in their song "Without You" which will be released internationally. She beat a number of female Asian singers for the much–coveted collaboration.

Indeed, some girls have all the luck.

"The Best of My Heart" is now out in CDs at your favorite record stores under Sony BMG Music Entertainment.
