Jed Madela to hold international projects this year

Jed Madela has been so popular after winning the 2005 grand champion in the WCOPA, besting 3,000 other international contestants. Latest news on his career are projects that await him in a Japanese film and a recording deal in the USA.

Jed was recently selected by Japanese Filmmakers to sing "Beautiful Light", the theme song of the acclaimed Japanese film "The Final Judgment".

The 32-year old balladeer performed on Friday night at the SM Megamall in Ortigas during the red-carpet premiere of the film, which dramatizes regional uncertainties from current territorial disputes in Asia.

Producer Ryuho Okawa and other Japanese filmmakers based their choice of Madela on a YouTube clip. The upbeat song is a refreshing break from his predominantly balladeer musical style in the concert variety program "ASAP".

Calling it a singular honor, Madela said he also hopes that the break will also open new doors for him in Japan.

On Friday, Madela also announced a new recording deal in the United States which will hopefully herald an international career for him.
