Maria Jolina Perez Magdangal-Escueta is a Filipino singer, actress, television presenter, and entrepreneur. She is referred to in the Philippines as the Queen of Pinoy Popular Culture (or simply as Pop Icon) and is often regarded as one of the most successful multimedia artists in Philippine entertainment and is penned as the original Multimedia Superstar. Magdangal is also dubbed as the “Queen of the 90s” due to her fame and success on television, in the movies, recording, fashion, and print and commercial advertisements during that decade. She started her career at a young age as a member of Ryan Cayabyab's singing group 14K. In 1994, she signed a recording contract with Walt Disney Records and later released her debut album A Wish Comes True in 1996. She rose to fame as a singer by recording movie theme songs that were non-album releases before finally releasing songs in movie soundtrack albums in the final half of the 1990s, earning her the title as the country's undisputed movie theme song and soundtrack queen. In her home label, she is referred to as Star Music's Queen for setting all-time high record sales, which up to this day has not been surpassed; her self-titled album Jolina (1999) and all-revival-songs On Memory Lane (2000) are among the best-selling albums of all time in the Philippines. In late 1990s to early 2000s, Magdangal also built a reputation as a successful live performer through concert tours around the islands of the Philippines and in cities around the world.
