Gifts are here! :) Shopping shopping shopping! SM Supermall'n!

I had the privilege to sit down, hear Maria Aragon sing and interview her. SM Supermalls has chosen the international YouTube sensation as the official Voice of SM Christmas. Now, your Christmas as SM Supermalls is extra special! Celebrate it with you friends and family at your favorite SM Supermalls!

The 11 year old, Maria Aragon phenomenon took the interwebs with an outstanding 43 Million views worldwide to date. It started when she uploaded a video of her breakthrough acoustic rendition of Lady Gaga’s song, Born This Way, back in February of this year. Lady Gaga herself saw and promoted this video urging her fans to view it. She was then invited by Ellen DeGeneres to perform the song at her show. Then Maria was invited by Lady Gaga to perform with her during her Monster Ball Tour leg in Toronto. Maria Aragon was also given the opportunity to perform for dignitaries including Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper, and for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge during their 2011 royal tour of Canada.

In the Philippines, she was signed by Star Records and has released her self-titled album consisting of seven tracks including her rendition of Lea Salonga’s “You’re My You” which was used for the movie, “Way Back Home”. She has appeared in several local TV shows and even lent her voice to sing the theme song for the local version of Junior Master Chef.

Maria said the being chosen as the Voice of SM Christmas is such a privilege. She said that she also finds her self singing the song even when she is not practicing it. It stuck with her and has a great Christmas tune into it.She will sing a remixed version of SM Supermalls’ official holiday tune, SM Christmas Chrisms Bop.

Her singing will again be featured as she has been chosen by Manny Pacquiao to sing the National Anthem on his upcoming fight with Manuel Marquez on November 12, 2011 (November 13, 2011 Philippine time).

So this holiday season, spend time with your friends, family and loved ones at your favorite SM Supermalls, and together hear Maria Aragon as the voice of SM Christmas.
