Chariz Solomon branded herself as a cheap but great artist to attract more projects in the entertainment industry.
On September 5, via a podcast interview, Solomon recalled how she became a talent on GMA Network.
“Sixteen years old ako sumali sa StarStruck, pero hindi ako masyado tumagal. Top 20 lang ako, tapos natanggal na ako agad.
“Tapos after that siguro, nagkaroon talaga ako ng magandang relationship with the staff, more than doon sa mga kasama kong aplikante,” she said.
Solomon shared that her good relationship with the reality talent competition show staff paved the way for a project on GMA Network.
“Mas naging ka-close ko ‘yung mga staff, so siguro dahil nagkaroon kami ng relationship, mas nakita nila ‘yung personality ko talaga na as a person, hindi as an artista.
“Hindi pa naman ako masyado ma-showbiz nun talaga, siyempre ano ba alam ko ‘di ba?
“So sila siyempre, ang bawat staff ng isang show, madaming show yan. Nandun nareco-reco, narefer-refer. Tapos si Tatay Rommel Gacho, Direk Rommel Gacho, siya talaga ‘yung isa sa mga naglo-lobby sa akin sa mga show.
“Pagkatapos nun, lima agad show ko. ‘Yung iba regular guests ako, tapos parang nagkaroon ako ng tatlong regular shows, tapos from there nagtuloy-tuloy na.”
Solomon shared her mantra: “’Yung linya ko Sir Alex ever since talaga, ‘Ako si Chariz Solomon: mura na, magaling pa.”
Solomon started her career in showbiz when she joined the fourth season of StarStruck. Since then, she has become a comedienne on the Kapuso Network.
