By MARY LOUISE LIGUNAS



Three members of the premiere vocal harmony act The Company are on board To The Top, GMA Network’s new multi-platform show.

Moy Ortiz, OJ Mariano and Sweet Plantado will serve as judges to the boys who will compete to become part of a new boy band.

The award-winning group that began 30 years ago wants to share their knowledge and passion with members of the younger generation who want to be part of the music scene.

Artistic director, musical director, composer and vocal arranger Moy Ortiz is looking for contestants who combine sheer talent with a dynamic personality.

“What we need for this show are people who have high musicality and who have the personality to sell the group,” he said.

Awit Award Best New Male Recording Artist awardee OJ Mariano also advised To The Top contestants to pour their heart and soul into their audition pieces as this is an opportunity of a lifetime.

“If you’re in an audition, ipakita ninyo [yung totoong] sarili niyo. It’s time to [show off what you can do and to] go all out. Huwag kayong mahiya. Kung anong puwede ninyong sabihin [at] anong puwede ninyo ipagmalaki, ilabas ninyo lahat,” OJ said.
