notes

Born in the Philippines and having grown up in the U.S., Mylin has released 6 albums, including 4 on an
international major label. She’s sold over 85,000 albums and has been included on more than 50
compilation albums, selling over 1 million copies. She’s topped international charts with Mariah Carey,
Destiny’s Child, Sheryl Crow, Janet Jackson, Madonna, and U2.

Mylin has been featured in dozens of magazines and news programs, including, The E! Channel, A&E
Biography, CNN, The Disney Channel, and People magazine.

Growing up in Oklahoma, Mylin was handpicked to star on The Disney Channel’s The Mickey Mouse Club. After four years on the show, she signed a development deal with Atlantic Records in the U.S., before signing with the international major label, Avex Inc.

In 2008, Mylin signed a 4-year deal with a cosmetics company, with her own line of foxy faux nails called Mylin Fing’rs Edge, which has her on packaging and displays in over 3,000 Wal-Marts across the U.S. In March, she met with fashion editors with Teen Vogue, CosmoGirl!, Seventeen, People, and OK Magazine in New York City to promote the line.

Over the last 2 years, Mylin has played shows on multi-platinum artist Nick Lachey’s Tour, with Grammy-Winner Patti LaBelle, Grammy-Nominated Five for Fighting, Beth Hart, Jonatha Brooke, Mark Chesnutt, and Gary Sinise & the Lt. Dan Band, and 12 shows at U.S. military bases in support of the troops. She’s performed at venues including, The Nokia Theatre in New York City, Caesars Palace, Staples Center, The Roxy Theatre, Celebrity Theater in Las Vegas, and The Avalon Theatre in Hollywood.

Her father having been in the U.S. military, Mylin recently performed at the Air Force’s 60th Anniversary Ball at Edwards Air Force Base, and for the return of the Army’s 1st Cavalry Division from Iraq before 80,000 at Fort Hood, Texas in April. She’s also recently been invited on a USO Tour to Romania and an AFE Tour to Asia.

Mylin, who plays the guitar and piano, and is endorsed by Daisy Rock Guitars, has worked with a number of top producers in the music business, including Robin Thicke (Marc Anthony, Usher), David Frank (Christina Aguilera, Phil Collins), Howie Hersh (Mariah Carey, JaRule), Travon Potts (Christina Aguilera, Monica), Sander Selover (Hanson, Wild Orchid), and Ron Harris (Christina Aguilera).

Mylin recently performed at the National Breast Cancer Coalition Fund benefit in Hollywood, hosted by Academy Award-winner Felicity Huffman (Desperate Housewives), and included fellow participants Wendy Malick (Just Shoot Me), Melina Kanakaredes (CSI:NY), Steven Weber (Wings), Lucy Lawless (Zena), Peri Gilpin (Frasier), and Melissa Peterman (Reba).

Mylin is a great American story. Born in the Philippines to a father in the U.S. Navy and a Filipino mother, Mylin’s father was encouraged to return to the U.S. without she and her mother due to his young age of 18 and their different backgrounds. The day he was to ship out, he got into a serious motorcycle accident. Badly injured in the hospital, he decided he didn't want to spend the rest of his life without Mylin and her mother. Two-year-old Mylin and her mother were flown to the U.S. in a C-130 military cargo plane, carrying the bodies of deceased U.S. soldiers. The trip took a week and a half.

“I almost never made it to the U.S.,” Mylin says. “I’m very thankful to be an American girl.”

  • American Girl album
    author: Terry

    Mylin, Your songs just bring tears to my eyes. You have a beautiful voice but moreso than that, you emit a passion that makes your words more than just lyrics. I have real "American Girls" and this mother really appreciates your words. I cannot get the American Girl song out of my head. The music video is especially touching too--especially with our favorite pilot in it! You're going to be a star. Mylin. I hope it doesn't change who you are. (I think you sound like Amy Grant) --THAT is a compliment. I'm sure you're too young to know her songs but you are like a young version of her.) Congratulations, Mylin. You're not only an American Girl but a soon-to-be American Icon. I and my American girls adore you! Terry, Lauren and Caroline--(My son loves your songs too!)

    I have loved Mylin's voice since she was on MMC. The CD is great! My Favorite song is American Girl. You can tell she puts alot of heart and soul into her music.

  • Very well done - excellent music and lyrics
    author: David Moya

    I discovered Mylin's album when I discovered her on myspace, and I am very pleased with it. The music throughout the entire album sounds amazing and her lyrics are very well-written. This album is proof of Mylin's high level of talent, and it is very genuine and original. If you buy it you won't be disappointed!

  • author: Jb Austin

    Awesome CD. Honest and straight from the heart. The music is well done and the voice of this artist is hard to review, you just have to feel it for yourself. If you love good music, you will love it.

  • Very nice- well written and produced- VERY well sung.
    author: bd

    First off, 4 stars is not a diss... I don't give 5 stars as easily as a lot of people. I'd give Dark Side of the Moon 4 stars. (Sgt Pepper=5).... Very nice CD, Mylin has a beautiful voice, and writes well- several songs go in unexpected directions harmonically, and it's nice that she keeps it interesting. A little country, a little pop, a little inspirational without being too maudlin. Buy more for your friends!

  • I want more.......
    author: Cindy

    This cd was great I love the music and the words hit home. Everyone that hears it ask who it is.....I give them all the info so they can bye it too. All I want to know is when is the next one coming out?

  • A wonderful cd by a wonderful woman
    author: Liz Russo

    This is one of those rare cd's that can be played from start to finish without skipping anything. Mylin has a gift to covey messages and hope to her fans. If you have a chance to see her play live, you must go. Mylin is a very genuine person and that comes across in her lyrics. Many of these songs touch me on a personal note. This is the best cd i own and i play over and over and never get tired of it.

    author: Diane Belinsky

    The song Grateful made me break out into tears the day I returned from Africa. I had just finished volunteering there with the kids and could not describe in words how I felt...to anyone. I heard Mylin's song that day and just kept playing it over and over and over. She made my words for me. :)

Whether you want something to sing along to while driving, American Girl (the title track) and 405 are perfect for this. Or if you want something moving, Grateful and Mist are wonderful examples. This CD makes a wonderful addition to any music lovers collection.
