Star Music’s newest artist Angela Ken has captured the hearts of listeners with the success of her debut single and viral TikTok song “Ako Naman Muna,” topping both Spotify’s “Viral 50 Global” and “Viral 50 Philippines” playlists, as well as placing on Spotify Viral charts in Canada, Singapore, and UAE.
 
“All of these achievements are unexpected for me and my family. That's why I'm very blessed with everything that’s happening now and with what I’ll still achieve in the future. I hope ‘Ako Naman Muna’ was able to bring inspiration and hope because that’s my purpose,” Angela said.
