singer Regine Velasquez has recorded material for seventeen studio albums,
nine soundtrack albums and five extended
plays(EP). She has also collaborated with other artists on duets and
featured songs on their respective albums. After
signing a record contract with Viva Records in 1987, Velasquez began to
work with producers Vic
del Rosario and Ronnie Henares, who co-produced
all of the songs on her 1987 debut studio album Regine.
Christine Bendebel wrote the tracks "Kung Maibabalik Ko Lang" and
"Urong Sulong", while Awit Award-winning
songwriter Vehnee Saturno co-wrote "Isang Lahi". Del Rosario and
Henares also co-produced Velasquez's second studio album Nineteen 90 (1990); its lead single "Narito Ako" was written by Nonong
Pedero and was originally recorded and performed by Maricris Belmont as an
entry for the 1978 Metro Manila Popular Music Festival.
Nievera
was born on February 5, 1962, in Manila, Philippines with twin sister,
Victoria, to Bert Nievera and Conchita Razon. Nievera spent most of his childhood in Hawaii with
his father as his father sang for the group Society of Seven. The Nievera
family also took up residence in the Bay Area in California for a short time in
the late ’70s. Martin attended high school in Walnut Creek,
California.
Inspired
by his father’s talent and success, Nievera returned to the Philippines in 1982
to begin his own singing career and by June 1982 he released his first LP,
Martin…Take One, with the album reaching platinum in just five months.[citation

Fernandez, the Philippines’ “Concert Queen,” who would later become his wife. Nievera’s second LP, 1984’s The
Best Gift, also reached platinum. In 1987, Penthouse Live! was changed to
Martin and Pops Twogether, in celebration of their marriage. After his marriage
to Fernandez, with whom he has two sons, Ram and Robin, failed in 1998, he
wrote and recorded music for the sole purpose of winning her back, which he
called Forever. Even though he did not succeed, the music ended up in the hands
of the public and rose to become a best-selling music collection. The two
sequels, Forever Forever and Return to Forever are also about the split. Both
of these albums hit platinum sales as well. In 2001, he plagiarized “We Just
Don’t Know How To Say Goodbye” by Diane Warren and included it as “To Say Goodbye”
in his “My Souvenirs” album compilation, which was later pulled out of the
market for copyright violation lawsuit.[1]|As an actor, Nievera has an
extensive acting career and has appeared or starred in eleven movies and seven
television series and specials. Nievera’s film credits include dramas, romance,
science fiction, comedy and action.
Nievera
is temporarily based in Las Vegas, Nevada with Katrina Ojeda with whom he has a
son named Santino (born October 7, 2006). He had his 25th anniversary concert on September 14 and
15, 2007 at the Captain’s Bar of the Mandarin Hotel in Makati.|He appeared with
Hawaii’s Society of Seven and Lani Misalucha at the Flamingo Las Vegas from
February 13 through April 13, 2008. He performed a pre-Valentine/post-birthday
concert with Pops Fernandez titled “Missing You” on February 6, 2009, at the
Araneta Coliseum. Martin is also currently co-hosting the weekly music show
called ASAP’ 09.|On May 2, 2009, Nievera was chosen to sing the Philippine
national anthem during the boxing match between Manny Pacquiao and Ricky
Hatton. Although he was criticized by the National Historical Institute because
of his peculiar style in performing the anthem, many of those who watched the
event, including Pacquiao, defended him.|In August 2009, Martin Nievera has a
concert together with Gary Valenciano for the first time in “As 1”. They also
both have a new album in one collaboration album.|On September 2009, Nievera
suffered Dehydration after his concert on September 19, and his best friend,
Gary Valenciano worried about his buddy’s condition. The
following day, Martin was discharged from the Hospital.

We've come so far
To leave it all behind
I wonder why
Why did you go away
You left me all alone
No words can say
My love please stay
You and I
We have moments left to share
You and I
We can make it anywhere
You and I
We belong in each other's arms
There can be no other love
Now I know we can have it all...
Forever
Each night I pray
That we can be together
Once again
Forever more we'll stay
In love this way
No matter what they say
Until the end
You and I
We have moments left to share
You and I
We can make it anywhere
You and I
We belong in each other's arms
There can be no other love
Now I know we can have it all...
Forever
You and I
We have moments left to share
You and I
We can make it anywhere
You and I
We belong in each other's arms
There can be no other love
Now I know that we can have it all...
Forever
Now I know we can have it all...
Forever
Now I know we can have it all...
Forever.
