Kuh is known for her lavish concept shows, putting up solo concerts in venues like the Cultural Center of the Philippines, Araneta Coliseum, PICC and Folk Arts Theater in the 80's during a time when singers shunned large venues because they were difficult to fill. She eventually went solo with her first hit song DITO BA. The strong presence of the group in the live circuit paved the way for Kuh to snag the lead role in Alice Reyes' pop ballet, RAMA HARI. It was her very successful stint performing with Music & Magic which proved to be pivotal to her career. Kuh and bandmates Toto Gentica and Jet Montelibano later went to Manila and formed the MUSIC & MAGIC band. Her singing career began when she joined Lastiko, then the Ensalada band in Bacolod while she was still in college taking up Nursing. In 1997 she released an international debut album entitled PRECIOUS, a collaboration of the best American and Filipino songwriters, arrangers and musicians. ![]() She was the first Filipino singer to be the recipient of the Salem Music Awards in March 1989.
