Get to know more about "Artista Academy" finalist Brent Manzano, dubbed as the "Prince of Emo ng Quezon City."

BRENT MANZANO
20 yrs. old
Quezon City

Turbulent is a word that can best describe Brent’s childhood. An emotionally battered child who was also physically abused by his mother and step father, the self-confessed Lonely Boy has moved from one place to another – from an island in Bulacan where he grew up and attended elementary school, to Cavite where he stayed until he was 17 years old, and to Manila where he decided to stay and take control of his life. He has joined many pageants and talent searches in the past, but it is with Artista Academy that he comes closest to realizing his potentials and fulfilling his dream of being the best person he can ever be.

Edge: His singing talent is noteworthy, it should catapult him to at least the Top 3 among the boys. His stage presence is superb. He exuded determination during the press presentation yesterday. Brent is definitely in it to win it!

Weakness: There are at least 3 or 4 guys who are more “artista” looking than him.

Odds of winning AA Best Actor: 10/1.
