“Cando” is one letter short of “candor,” and no doubt about it, candor is one of Mark Cando’s most winning traits. This charming pop and jazz crooner is straightforward about his career goals: “I want to make a name for myself in the music industry. I’d like to make it big and have a significant influence on people.” Mark joined The Voice of the Philippines Season 2 in 2014. During the blind auditions, his romantic rendition of Oleta Adams’s ‘Get Here’ made Black Eyed Peas’ Apl.de.ap turn around and move along to the music. Slowly but surely, Mark has been turning his dream into reality. He has met and played with some of the biggest names in the music industry such as Jose Mari Chan, Lea Salonga, Sarah Geronimo, Bamboo, and Apl.de.Ap. He has also performed on shows like Umagang Kay Ganda, It’s Showtime, the Miss Earth 2016Pageant, Letters and Music, and the Music in our Hearts Concert, and was also chosen as the Daily Winner for the ASOP Music Festival in 2017.

Mark can be best described as a “triple threat.” He can sing, play the guitar, and host events. With his talents, plus his dreamy demeanor, Mark has the makings of a music heartthrob. His boy-next-door appeal combined with his cool singing voice make him a delight to watch and can surely set hearts aflutter. Mark knows that theentertainment industry can be tough but he accepts the challenge by referring to his favorite quote: “He who strongly desires to rise up will think of a way to build a ladder.” Mark is already climbing that ladder to success, and it won’t be long until he reaches the top. With his gifts, perseverance, and openness to improve, Mark Cando CAN DO!
