Cuneta grew up listening to her father's record collection. Her mother, Elaine Gamboa, was a piano major at theUniversity of Santo Tomas Conservatory of Musicin her youth. The young Cuneta would take up piano, guitar, and flute lessons to broaden her musical training and exposure at a young age. At the age of three, Cuneta would accompany her aunt, actressHelen Gamboa,during tapings of her television shows.[6]

Another of her first proper TV appearances was onIke Lozada's show, for the "Bulilit" portion, where she mimicked the songs of her aunt,Helen Gamboa.Cuneta was just as young when she appeared in her first movie, the Rosanna Ortiz-George EstreganvehicleLovers for Hirewhere she played one ofRoderick Paulate's playmates.[7]

Cuneta attendedSt. Paul College, Pasig,andInternational School Manilafor her primary to secondary education.[8]

Career

edit

1978–1980: Career beginnings

edit

In January 1978, the 12-year old Cuneta made her first visit to 782 Aurora Boulevard, which was the address ofVicor Records.Her Uncle and Vice-President of Vicor,Tito Sotto,asked her to record "Tawag Ng Pag-Ibig"[9]which he produced for her at Vicor and shortly after, she was on television promoting her own song for the first time and on the TV showDiscoramahosted by TVJ.[10]

The young Sharon was being interviewed live on Discorama, where she stated: "This is the show I watch every week. This is the show that I don’t know how many hundreds of thousands or millions of people watch in the whole country. When it hit me, I couldn’t talk."[11]

In May 1978, Sharon Cuneta followed up with a song byRey Valeraentitled "Mr. DJ".Her producer in Vicor, Tito Sotto, wanted Valera to make a song that would appeal to the Radio DJ's and convince them to play her record on the air.

"Mr. DJ" became a popular hit and gave Cuneta the moniker, "DJ's Pet" (which also became the title of her debut LP). Cuneta received her first Gold Record for this and her music label Vicor Records came out with succeeding albums like "Sharon" and "Sharon Cuneta", and then "High School" with the same level of success.

Cuneta released further popular singles including "Naaalala Ka", "I-Swing Mo Ako", "Kahit Maputi Na Ang Buhok Ko" and "High School Life",which were also part of the Manila Sound era.

Aside from her recording career, Cuneta also began hosting with her aunt,Helen Gamboa,in a TV variety show titledC.U.T.E.orCall Us Two for Entertainmenton IBC 13.[12]

In 1980, because of her commercial success as a young singer, Cuneta's Boss at the time in Vicor Music, Boss Vic Del Rosario, gave her the golden opportunity to record her firstGeorge Cansecosong "Tubig at Langis".This became the theme song of the film with same title starringVilma Santosand directed byDanny Zialcita.

During the Cebu Film Festival that same year, "Langis at Tubig" was an official entry and had a float made for the parade at theSinulog Festival.The only people there were the director,Danny Zialcitaand Sining Silangan producer, Ernie Rojas. But there were no actors from the actual movie who were able to go to Cebu for this event as the main lead, Vilma Santos, was pregnant at the time. Sining Silangan asked permission from Boss Vic Del Rosario if the young Sharon Cuneta who sang the theme song could join them on the float. Boss Vic agreed and Cuneta, accompanied by her Mother, Elaine Cuneta, headed to Cebu.

"My Mom and I got on the float. We went to Cebu, my first time ever. When I got on the float and it started moving, I couldn’t believe how people reacted to me. That they knew me. I just felt all this love come towards me like a rain of bullets. I can’t explain the feeling. At that age, I was 14 already. A veteran (laughs) after 2 years of singing."[11]

1981–1984:Dear Heartand the start of a movie career

edit

On the same day as the Sinulog Festival Float Ride during the Cebu Film Festival, Director Danny Zialcita asked Cuneta to appear in an upcoming film. Her parents eventually agreed to meet with Danny Zialcita. Despite asking for an outlandishly large fee, Silangan agreed to pay the sum without reservation. "Ok po. Call". That was it.[13]Zialcita told her: "If you would do this for me I will make you a star. It was a commitment, a promise I made to her."[14]"The topic of the leading man came up. Direk Danny said, 'Who would you want to be your leading man?' And my answer, of all things to say, was anybody but Gabby Concepcion. Turns out, the only one available was Gabby Concepcion."[11]

Cuneta starred in her first feature film,Dear Heart.[13]She was paired with thenClose-Upmodel andRegal Films' 1980s heartthrob,Gabby Concepcion.Dear Heartwas successful and paved the way for future collaborations.[13]

Due to the commercial success ofDear Heart,a sequel was made. Since Sining Silangan didn't have the means to create an immediate follow up film,Mayor Pablo Cunetacollaborated with Vic Del Rosario and establishedViva Films.On November 12, 1981, Viva Films released its first feature film,P.S. I Love You,starring Cuneta and Concepcion. The film was a box office success and was followed by another Sharon-Gabby collaboration,My Only Love(1982).[15]

Cuneta was also paired with other leading men, with the likes ofWilliam Martinez(inForgive and Forget), Rowell Santiago (inCross My HeartandFriends in Love) andMiguel Rodriguez(inTo Love Again) from 1982 to 1983, which made her the Ms. RP Movies for the years mentioned.[15]

Cuneta top billed three blockbuster melodramas in 1984:Sa Hirap at Ginhawa,Bukas, Luluhod And Mga Tala,andDapat Ka Bang Mahalin?that led to her eventual crowning as 1984's Box Office Queen of RP Movies.[16]
