Why this ‘Cool Cat’ finds romantic love not so cool
‘I feel like I’m too scared to fall deeply in love and I’m scared of being vulnerable and intimate with anyone,’ said singer-songwriter Cool Cat Ash, the daughter of ‘70s ‘Apat na Sikat’ idol Lala Aunor
Singer-songwriter Ashley Aunor is a recording artist for Star Music of
ABS-CBN who recently had an album launch at Academy of Rock, a stone's throw from
ABS-CBN studios in Quezon City.
Academy of Rock is a pop music school and recording studio co-owned by some ABS-CBN top stars and executives, including Jonathan Manalo, Star Music's creative director.
Ashley's older sister Marion, also a Star Music artist, was at the album launch not only to support her sister but also to present to her a birthday cake since the day coincided with Ashley's 21st birthday.
"Ashley is more serious than I am about working out in the gym. She now also pays attention to what she eats better than I do," Marion revealed about her baby sister.
Showbiz idol
Ashley presents herself to the world as Cool Cat Ash. She has decided not to use the Aunor surname to distinguish herself from sister Marion and also from their mom, Maribel "Lala" Aunor, a top showbiz idol herself in the '70s. Lala was part of an informal group then known as "Apat na Sikat," along with Arnold Gamboa, Dondon Nakar and Winnie Santos (a niece of Vilma Santos).
Lala is a cousin of Nora Aunor, and it was Lala's mother, Belen Aunor, who took care of Nora during her teens so she could join the iconic TV amateur singing contest Tawag ng Tanghalan, where Nora emerged as grand champion during her teens.
