Today, musical trends change as quickly as a beat drops, Asia’s Jewel, Jade Riccio, shines with a voice that transcends genres and a mission that goes far beyond the stage.

An award-winning soprano, celebrity vocal coach and visionary entrepreneur, Riccio is a formidable force in the performing arts. She is the sole recipient of the 37th Aliw Awards Hall of Fame, having garnered five consecutive wins including Best Classical Performer of the Year and Best Female Crossover Performer of the Year.

Her name is etched alongside legends, but it’s her passion, not accolades, that sets her apart.

From her early victories in National Music Competitions for Young Artists Foundation (NAMCYA) to gracing stages across Italy, Germany, the U.S. and Southeast Asia, Riccio’s journey has been a masterclass in persistence and reinvention.

Under Star Music, her reimagined classical-crossover of Evanescence’s Bring Me to Life captivated a new generation, blending operatic finesse with pop sensibility.

Yet, Riccio’s legacy isn’t just in her performances, it’s in the voices she helps shape. As the founder and CEO of Riccio Music & Artistry (RMA) Studio Academy, she transformed a pandemic-born idea into a thriving creative institution.

Now with nearly 500 students worldwide and a newly opened flagship studio in Asia, RMA is not just a music school, it’s a movement.
