SMOKEY MOUNTAIN'S ORIGINAL MEMBERS SHARE PRICELESS LESSONS FROM MR. C
The Philippine Star
|October 27, 2024
Smokey Mountain was one of the hottest Filipino singing groups in the '90s. Their classic hits include Kailan, Can This Be Love, Mama, Paraiso, and Better World.
National Artist for Music Ryan Cayabyab formed the group while the great Douglas Nierras took the reins as choreographer.
Geneva Cruz, Jeffrey Hidalgo, and Tony Lambino recently appeared on "Fast Talk with Boy Abunda," where they reminisced about the good times they had as original members of Smokey Mountain. James Coronel is currently based in the US.
It has been more than three decades since their debut. Jeffrey was only 12 years old, Geneva and Tony were 13 and James was 14 when they recorded the hit song Kailan.
They continue to pursue their passion in their respective careers. Aside from acting and directing, Jeff has a production house that creates digital content. Gen still sings and acts. She happily shared about her medical spa called the Geneva Wellness Institute in Alabang. Tony is now the president of the Ayala Foundation.
