Sounds Like:After four years starring on a hit television show, and releasing four successful albums on an international major label, singer/songwriter Mylin was happy to be home for a while.
"It’s given me time to explore my writing," Mylin says. "I've really enjoyed the opportunity to figure out what naturally comes from me."
What naturally comes from Mylin culminated in the April 2008 recording of her 6th album, Last Call to Higher Ground.
Along with the new album, Mylin is currently featured in a public service announcement for the troops, running on The Disney Channel and NBC stations, on a special running on the A&E Biography channel, and in a 12-week ad in People magazine (Jonas Brothers and Miley Cyrus issues).
After recently signing a 4-year deal with a cosmetics company, where she has her own line of faux foxy nails called Mylin Fing’rs Edge, she can now also be seen on packaging and displays in over 3,000 Wal-Marts across the U.S. In March, she met with fashion editors with Teen Vogue, CosmoGirl!, Seventeen, People, and OK Magazine in New York City for a press junket to promote the line and her involvement.
Born in the Philippines and growing up in Oklahoma, Mylin was handpicked by Disney to star on The Disney Channel’s The Mickey Mouse Club. After four years on the show, she signed a development deal with Atlantic Records in the U.S., before signing with the international major label, Avex Inc.
While touring for four years throughout Japan and Southeast Asia, Mylin sold over 85,000 albums and has been included on more than 50 compilation albums, selling over 1 million copies. She's topped international charts with Mariah Carey, Destiny's Child, Sheryl Crow, Janet Jackson, Madonna, and U2.
Back home now, while reconnecting with her U.S. fans, Mylin has played recent shows on Nick Lachey's Tour, with Patti LaBelle, Five for Fighting, Beth Hart, Jonatha Brooke, Mark Chesnutt, and Gary Sinise & the Lt. Dan Band. She's recently performed at venues including, The Nokia Theatre in New York City, Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, Staples Center in Los Angeles, The Roxy Theatre in Hollywood, Celebrity Theater in Las Vegas, and The Avalon Theatre in Hollywood.
Mylin, who is endorsed by Daisy Rock Guitars, has been featured in dozens of magazines and by news programs, including The Hollywood Reporter, A&E Biography, The E! Channel, and CNN.
Her father having been in the U.S. military, Mylin has played 12 shows at military bases over the last two years in support of the troops, including the Air Force's 60th Anniversary Ball at Edwards Air Force Base, and for the return of the Army's 1st Cavalry Division from Iraq before 80,000 at Fort Hood, Texas in April. She's also recently been invited on a USO Tour to Romania and an AFE Tour to Asia.
Mylin, who plays the guitar and piano, has worked with a number of top producers in the music business, including Robin Thicke (Marc Anthony, Usher), David Frank (Christina Aguilera, Phil Collins), Howie Hersh (Mariah Carey, JaRule), Sander Selover (Hanson, Wild Orchid), and Ron Harris (Christina Aguilera).
In October, Mylin performed at the National Breast Cancer Coalition Fund benefit in Hollywood, hosted by Academy Award-winner Felicity Huffman (Desperate Housewives), and included fellow participants Wendy Malick (Just Shoot Me), Melina Kanakaredes (CSI:NY), Steven Weber (Wings), Lucy Lawless (Zena), Peri Gilpin (Frasier), and Melissa Peterman (Reba).
Mylin is a great American story. Born in the Philippines to a father in the U.S. Navy and a Filipino mother, Mylin's father was encouraged to return to the U.S. without she and her mother due to his young age of 18 and their different backgrounds. The day he was to ship out, he got into a serious motorcycle accident. Badly injured in the hospital, he decided he didn't want to spend the rest of his life without Mylin and her mother. Two-year-old Mylin and her mother were flown to the U.S. in a C-130 military cargo plane, carrying the bodies of deceased U.S. soldiers. The trip took a week and a half.
"I almost never made it to the U.S.," Mylin says. "I'm very thankful to be an American girl."MUSIC CONNECTION Show Review
(by Bob Legget):
"Just like her co-stars on the new Mickey Mouse Club (Christina Aguilera, Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears), Mylin has chosen to tackle the highly competitive pop music market, and she appears to have the chops to pull it off."
"Mylin is comfortable regardless of whether she is simply singing, or playing and singing."
"Mylin started off her set with a bang with the song, "My Own Little Groove," and then proceeded to wow adults and children alike with a funky and lively set. She was appreciative of her audience, especially the children, who responded by singing with gusto. They seemed to be genuinely excited and inched close enough to almost reach out and touch their idol."
"The audience seemed most impressed with Mylin's "bad boy" song, "I'm in the Way." Her set included many different musical styles, from ballads to dance to acoustical classic rock, and ended appropriately with Mylin's autobiographical tribute to the troops, "American Girl."
"The set was smooth and had wonderful dynamics. Mylin's musical style and approach are more akin to Aguilera than Spears. She has strong musical resources, her songs are family-friendly and, within that context, she shows great range and potential."
