She had been making her voice heard since the age of two, joining singing contests here and there. In 2019, she proudly represented the Philippines at the World Championships of Performing Arts (WCOPA), where she bagged a total of 7 gold medals---standing out among more than 70 contestants from across the globe.That same year, Carmelle showcased even more of her exceptional talent when she joined “The Voice Kids Season 4” under Coach Bamboo in Kamp Kawayan, where she advanced all the way to the finals, finishing as the season’s 1st runner-up.After her stint on “The Voice Kids,” Carmelle stepped away from the spotlight for a while, but her passion never dimmed. Even in school, she continued to nurture her love for the arts, showing not only her gift in singing but also her talent in dancing. She became a majorette leader from her elementary years all the way through junior and senior high school. Behind the limelight, Carmelle devoted much of her time to serving as a psalmist in churches across her hometown, including some within the Diocese of Libmanan and Sorsogon.In 2025, before her “PBB” journey began, Carmelle kicked off the year with a blast by clinching the Grand Champion title in “<a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/2025/1/18/tawag-ng-tanghalan-crowns-carmelle-collado-as-the-school-showdown-grand-champion-1953">Tawag ng Tanghalan: School Showdown</a>” on “<a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/itsshowtime" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">It’s Showtime</a>,” where her stage comeback showed a more mature side of her as a performer.Beyond her performances, Carmelle also has her share of fun quirks that make her even more endearing. She revealed that her favorite color is pink, and she has a hidden talent for mimicking the sound of a kutsinta vendor’s horn---a playful skill that she even showed inside Bahay ni Kuya. While her “PBB” journey may have already come to an end, Carmelle is clearly geared up to grace the stage once more. And who knows, new opportunities beyond singing and dancing might just be waiting around the corner, and we’re excited to see where her passion and talent will take her next.The Big Night is almost here!
