Mini bio

How it started.

Jake grew up in Cabuyao, Laguna, and began performing in singing competitions as a child. He competed on Little Big Star in 2005. Clips of his singing spread on YouTube, helping bring him to international audiences and The Ellen DeGeneres Show in 2007.

The international breakthrough.

Performing then under the name Charice, he appeared on Oprah and sang with Celine Dion at Madison Square Garden in 2008. His 2010 album Charice reached the Billboard 200 top 10, and “Pyramid,” featuring Iyaz, became a signature song. He also played Sunshine Corazon on Glee.

Finding his own voice.

In 2017 he introduced himself publicly as Jake Zyrus. His 2018 memoir I Am Jake tells his story in his own words. The following year, Star Music released Evolution, a collection shaped around his life and changing voice, with songs including “Diamond,” “DNM” and “Love Even If.”

Back to the songs.

His YouTube channel describes his music as a blend of R&B, pop and soul. Alongside covers, Jake returned to his early catalog with ROOTS in November 2025, recording six songs again and joining Cheesa on “Wherever You Are.”
