May 8, 2008 by cd
11-year-old Lica de Guzman is the newest child sensation from the Philippine community in Geneva, Switzerland.
Lica was born in Geneva on March 8, 1997. Her parents were Filipino migrant workers, Nicanor “Bono” de Guzman and Waonhor “Joy” Pangulima.
In 2004, Lica performed at the well-known annual Carabina Festival in Crans-Celigny as one of the members of “Caribanakids.” She amazed the crowd with her angelic voice.
Also in 2004, De Guzman was selected to join Sonia Grimm, a famous singer not only in Geneva, but also in Europe, to do back up vocals for her Christmas CD.
December of 2005 was the biggest break for de Guzman, as she was invited to Televison Suisse Romande show as one of the guest child singers for the show’s Christmas special presentation of “Les coups de coeur d’Alain Morisod.”
De Guzman was dubbed “Petite Perle Philippine” as she guested in “Rêves”: A new musical Show for Christmas!
The special television program was a co-production of French-speaking Switzerland Television (TSR) and Foundation Little Dreams (LDF).
It was in this show where Orianne Collins, founder of LDF announced that de Guzman was selected as one of the 10 children from all over the world to become a Little Dream Foundation member.
Last year, she was again invited at the “Les coups de Coeur d’Alain Morisod where she performed “Prendre un enfant par la main” before Swiss President Micheline Calmy-Rey.
She was also invited to sing at the United Nations Womens Guild bazaar and other Filipino events.
This year, De Guzman plans to have a concert and release her first album.
