SINGER Jessa Zaragoza has advised her daughter Jayda not to dwell on the reactions of bashers and move on with her life.
“Natural lang na maapektuhan ka kapag nabasa mo. Pero pagkatapos nun don’t dwell on it. It’s just part of life,” said Zaragoza during an interview on “Tonight With Boy Abunda” on ABS CBN.
“Talagang hindi mo mapi-please lahat ng tao. You just have to go on and don’t let them define you.
“We are very blessed na si Jayda ay napakabait na bata pero hindi pa-aapi,” said Zaragoza.
Jayda, 13, is the daughter of Zaragoza and singer-composer Dingdong Avanzado.
Zaragoza appeared on the late-night talk show to promote her concert “I Am Me” at Cache Creek Resort and Casino in Brooks, California on July 29 and Aratani Theater in Los Angeles, California on August 12.
Jayda is into singing and composing as she focused her career on music.
“There is a certain amount of pressure, like with people whose expectations of me are quite high. But it’s what motivates me to strive harder to hone my skills,” she said during an interview on ABS CBN recently.
Jayda said that she is still in the process of developing her own style as she learns from other artists, including her celebrity parents.
“I am actually on the process of developing it [style], but I am adding a few things like a bit of Christina Aguilera, Ariana Grande, Beyoncé, my mom, my dad,” said Jayda.
“To me, I don’t think a good voice is enough. You have to have passion, you have to have a rapport with the audience.
You can be a singer, but being a performer is something different. And that’s something I want to do,” she added.
