Rise to Stardom

Sam Concepcion was proclaimed the grand winner in the first season of ABS-CBN's Little Big Star. Dubbed as the Singing Crush ng Bayan, 13-year-old Sam gave a winning rendition of "I Can't Stand Still" from "Footloose the Musical", the highly successful musical produced by STAGES.

Managed by STAGES, they have been with Sam since he was 9 years old. “It's all very exciting because right now, he can already sing, dance, act and even host; and he still has all these years to perfect those crafts. By the time he reaches his peak at 17 or 18, he's already been very well trained and he's going to be a total performer,” says STAGES president Audie Gemora of Sam.

Born on October 17, 1992, Sam started showing signs of the total performer in him at a very early age. Sam started singing and dancing at age 2 and by age 9, he already was a very able dancer - with Gary Valenciano moves!

Sam honed his talents further when he joined Playshop, the summer workshop for performing arts offered by theater group Trumpets. Since 2002, Sam has been part of Playshop as he perfects his skills in singing, dancing and musical theater acting.

Sam got his big break in theater in 2002 when he played the young Jose Rizal in Musical Theater Philippines ' (MUSICAT) "Sino Ka Ba, Jose Rizal?" Then just months after, an improved and a more confident Sam played Edmund Pevensie in Trumpets' critically acclaimed musical production of "The Lion, the Witch, ad the Wardrobe." Over the next two years, Sam starred in two other highly successful productions by Trumpets, which were "Mr. Noah's Big Boat" and "Peter Pan and the Time Machine." Sam did the voice of Japeth, one of Noah's sons, and played Wendell, the young boy kidnapped by the vicious Captain Hook, respectively.

Aside from theater, Sam has also done hosting stints on TV. He used to be one of the kids on ABS-CBN's Sineskewela and was a regular host of ABC-5's A.S.T.I.G., a christian children's TV show. He has also Whacked, a youth-oriented show by Nickelodeon. Sam even had parts in "Hirayamanawi." In both 2004 and 2005, Sam hosted the popular Nickelodeon's Kids Choice Awards.

Whenever he wasn't busy with theater and regular hosting gigs, Sam would dabble in commercials. His breakthrough was the Maggi Sinigang sa Miso commercial where he came to be known as the very bibo “rapping kid.”

Then came Little Big Star. With his good-looks, high-energy dance moves and singing prowess, Sam was proclaimed the first monthly finalist in the show's Big Division. Eventually, Sam won the title Brightest Star.

Among Sam's future projects is a new fantaserye for ABS-CBN, Super Inggo, where Sam will play Boy Bawang, the superhero idol of Inggo, to be plaved by LBS Little Division first runner-up, Makisig Morales. Sam is also the new teen wear endorser of Bench Tweeners, a leading clothing line and will star in another Trumpets production, Joseph the Dreamer, by September of this year.

Truly, Sam is fast rising into stardom! Wishing you all the best in your career!
