Filipino singer and former child star Rhap Salazar is set to captivate the audience tonight, December 3, 2024, at the Winter Night Market Season 2 in Al Rigga, Deira, Dubai. Known for his powerful and soulful voice, Salazar will serenade attendees with a performance that promises to be a highlight of the event.
The appearance of the internationally acclaimed artist comes as a delightful surprise to fans, especially after Marcelito Pomoy, originally scheduled to perform on this date, canceled his appearance due to logistical issues. The organizer of the Winter Night Market expressed their regret over the change but assured audiences that Salazar’s performance will bring a memorable touch to the festivities.
Salazar, a multi-awarded performer, rose to fame as the winner of the Little Division of ABS-CBN's Little Big Star in 2006. At just 12 years old, he gained international recognition by securing the Junior Grand Champion Performer of the World and Junior Grand Champion Solo Vocalist of the World titles at the World Championships of Performing Arts in Los Angeles. His talent further shone on the global stage with a stunning rendition of Celine Dion's "All By Myself" during his guest appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.
As a versatile artist, Salazar has also made significant contributions to acting, having starred in ABS-CBN's Kokey and Luv U, and ventured into group performances as part of 5thGen. Beyond his achievements, Salazar continues to share his music through YouTube, endearing himself to fans with personal vlogs and heartfelt covers.
Meanwhile, auditions for the Winter Night Market Got Talent Season 2 remain open, with aspiring performers competing for the grand prize of AED 15,000.
