Actress-singer Mica Javier is in cloud nine nowadays.
She is still on a high from the recent proposal of her fiancé, R&B singer Jay-R. Career-wise, she is riding on the crest of the success of Los Bastardos, where she plays a crucial role. And, recently, she just finished doing Hush, an original anthology series produced by IWant and Indigital.
Hush is an erotic anthology series and features Mica doing a lot of daring love scenes with actress Mara Lopez. Many will surely be shocked as the series is queer-themed, but Mica, I was told, is ready to face naysayers as this is only part of accepting a challenging role. “I want to push myself as an actress, that is why I accepted this role,” she said at a news conference announcing this project.
And pushing herself to the limits is nothing new to Mica. While she may ride on the coattails of her uncle Danny Javier (of Apo Hiking Society fame), Mica decided that for her to achieve anything, she must do it on her own. And little by little, she did. From a blossoming modeling career in Manila, Mica moved to New York to attend at the Gallatin School of Individualized Study at New York University and also try her luck there. She booked a commercial here and there, and even appeared in an episode in the CW series Gossip Girl.
In 2012 Mica moved back to Manila, where she got to open for Jennifer Lopez’s Dance Again World Tour and first-ever concert in Manila. She eventually released the song “Tonight”, a duet with her future fiancé Jay-R which zoomed to the top position in various radio countdowns.
Her singing and dancing prowess has made her a regular in the noontime show It’s Showtime as one of the Girltrends. And now that she has decided to crossover to acting, the future holds bright for this young woman.
