Biography

Family background

Marvic Castelo Sotto was born on April 28, 1954 to Marcelino Ojeda Sotto, Sr. and Dr. Herminia Castelo. He studied at Colegio de San Juan de Letran. He is the brother of Marcelino "Maru" Sotto, Jr., Vicente "Tito" Sotto, and Valmar "Val" Sotto. ^[1]

Career

Early career

He started his career as a folk singer and guitarist. During these years, Sotto was also the lead vocalist of the disco funk band VST & Company. He produced such songs as "Awitin Mo at Isasayaw Ko", "Rock, Baby, Rock", and "Kung Sakali".

He joined his brothers Tito and Val in the early 1970s gag show OK Lang under IBC 13. This is where he met another comedian, Joey de Leon, who invited the brothers to join him. The trio of Tito, Vic and Joey (TVJ) was thus formed, casting in Iskul Bukol, TVJ (Television's Jesters), Rock and Roll 2000 and hosting Eat Bulaga!

Current career

In the last three decades, he has done sitcoms and television shows for 3 networks, ABS-CBN, GMA Network and TV5 (most of which were for GMA).

Personal Life

Sotto has 4 children from previous relationships: Vico Sotto (with actress Coney Reyes), Danica Sotto-Pingris and Oyo Sotto (with actress Dina Bonnevie) and Paulina Sotto (with former commercial model / TV actress Angela Luz).

Sotto confirmed his engagement to Eat Bulaga! co-host Pauleen Luna last September 2015. The couple married last January 30, 2016 at Ayala Alabang, Muntinlupa City.^[2]
