Jose Mari Chan: Renowned Filipino and global music maker

The music of Jose Mari Chan, Filipino singer and composer, has been warmly received not just in the Philippines but in the international scene as well, including the United States (where he stayed for about a decade), Malaysia, Indonesia, and other parts of the world.

The achievements of Jose Mari Chan include nominations at the Filipino Academy of Movie Arts and Sciences (FAMAS) and the Awit Awards. Perhaps a greater recognition occurs whenever the singing and songwriter style of Jose Mari Chan is emulated by others ("imitation indeed is the greatest flattery") and especially when he is remembered in the hearts of his listeners wherever fate may take them and associate with the feelings invoked by his love songs, one of the most popular of which is "Beautiful Girl".
