Noranian Albert Sunga manages the career of Suy

NORA AUNOR confidante Albert Sunga is the marketing manager-publicist of acoustic singer Dorothy Galvez, better known as Suy. He has arranged for Suy’s first show abroad on May 14 in the Pinoy Musik Festival in New Jersey. “First time ko sa U.S kaya excited ako,” says Suy. We told Albert he should arrange for Suy to sing with Ate Guy. “Sana nga, kaya lang, baka nandito na si Ate Guy sa Pilipinas that time,” he says. “But Suy will return sa U.S. on August 20 and 21 for the Philippine Fiesta in Meadowlands Expo Center in Secaucus, NJ so baka puede na silang magkita roon ni Ate Guy.”

Last year, Suy launched her first album, “Simply Suy” for Ivory Records and it spawned hits like “More than Words” and “Simple Lang”. In her new album, “Suy Under Covers”, she does acoustic versions of very new songs from today’s singers like Bruno Mars’ “Just the Way You Are” with a music video that reveals she’s addressing the song to her ailing mother now undergoing dialysis, played by Gloria Sevilla in the MTV. The album was launched on the day of Bruno’s Manila concert and Albert said he personally invited the Fil-Am singer to be in Suy’s album launch but he was busy rehearsing for the show. Suy also does her version of Justin Bieber’s “Pray”, Katie Perry’s “Fireworks” and”Teenage Dream”, Beyonce’s “Halo”, “Dynamite”, “Empire State of Mind Part 2”, “Mine”, “Need You Now”, “Ridin’ Solo”, “Speak Now”, “Cooler than Me”, “Sweet Dreams”, “Smile” and “The Only Exception.” Her album will be launched in “ASAP” this Sunday then she’ll guest in “Music Uplate” on Tuesday. Suy sings every Wednesday night at Panggo’s Grille on Morato Avenue QC but on April 15, Friday, she’ll have a very special show, “Acoustic Night with the Acoustic Gem”, in the same venue. On May 10, she’ll have a concert at the Parke Rizal in Tayabas, Quezon with co-Ivory artists Shane Tarun and Kristoff Medina. For booking, call Albert at 0919-570-5892 or email asmangel1217@yahoo.com.
