You see him every night on TV. You can probably still recall his TVCs. Have you seen his videos on You Tube? Billboards are going to be up soon! He has been on the covers of several magazines. And starting this July, you can grab a copy of his debut album in your favorite music stores nationwide. HE IS JM DE GUZMAN. The actor. And now, the singer-songwriter.
At 6 years old, JM started his career as a print and TVC model. He was 14 years old when he was cast in Ang TV 2 (as JM “Butik” De Guzman). In 2005, he got accepted to the University of the Philippines in Diliman where he took up a Certificate in Theater Arts, majoring in Performance Studies. He apprenticed as an actor and production staff under the university’s college-based theatre group, Dulaang UP.
In 2006, he joined the UP Wrestling Club and eventually became its president and decorated athlete. He won medals in various competitions sanctioned by the Wrestling Association of the Philippines, wherein he represented the UP Wrestling Club or the Quezon City Wrestling Team. In 2007, he won silver medal for Quezon City during the Philippine Olympic Festival - National Capital Region qualifying round.
He also competed in amateur mixed martial arts (MMA) as representative of S.P.R.A.W.L. – MMA Team. He logged in an 1-1 fight record: he lost his match in the 2007 URCC University and won in the 2009 S.P.R.A.W.L and BRAWL amateur MMA event.
He auditioned and was later cast in the 2009 Cinemalaya film Last Supper Number 3. It was in this independent film where Direk Lauren Dyogi, business unit head of ABS-CBN, found him and asked to audition for Midnight Phantom. He passed and starred as the best friend of Rafael Rosell who played the title role in the series.
He was cast anew in Precious Hearts Romances Presents - Alyna and paired with his Midnight Phantom co-star, Charee Pineda, who has been claimed having chemistry by the fans.
His biggest break so far is playing the lead role as Gabriel Maglayon, originally played by the late actor Rico Yan, in ABS-CBN’s 2011 hit-serye remake of Mula Sa Puso. As one of the lead characters, JM has proven that he is one of the most-promising young actors today. Lauren Young plays his love interest in the series.
To date, JM made two movies (Miss You Like Crazy and My Amnesia Girl) and four independent films (Last Supper 3, Pendong, Rekrut and Ang Babae Sa Septic Tank – showing in this year’s CINEMALAYA Festival). He also starred in several TV series/shows (Malaala Mo Kaya, Banana Split, ASAP, PHR, Martha Cecilia’s Kristine).
Starting JULY 2011, JM will show more versatility by releasing his self-titled album under IVORY Music & Video. JM’s 12-track album is composed of 9 well-loved covers and 2 original songs (Carried Away and Give You The World), written by JM himself. His debut album also features the acoustic version of his carrier single, “Carried Away”.
