On Her Own Merits

KC Concepcion has always had a world of opportunities at her feet. But it is through a fierce determination to carve out her own path that she ended up starting new passion projects outside of her show business career, as MJ Jose finds out.

 Growing up, KC spent many days out of school touring the world with her mum. She admits to feeling overwhelmed by the large crowds that followed them wherever they went, but now sees the experience as a blessing because it got her used to being around people. “Because I was thrust into the limelight at a young age, I learnt to develop an appreciation for music, cinema, art, and even life under the public eye,” KC says. “Perhaps because of this exposure, life to me doesn’t feel 100 per cent complete without having the public involved to a certain extent.” And she does enjoy conversing with and learning more about others, which is why hosting events has always been one of her favourite aspects of showbiz.
