Ever since it was launched in 1995, GMA Artist Center has produced some of the most luminous names in Philippine showbiz such as Alden Richards, Heart Evangelista, Julie Anne San Jose, Barbie Forteza, and Ken Chan to name a few. Over two and half decades later, GMA Network’s talent management arm has held on to its promise of housing the country’s biggest stars and honing its up-and-coming artists.

This 2022, Artist Center takes it up a notch as it starts the year with a fresh and energized new name.
