Lea Salonga
About
Lea Salonga (born 22 February 1971 in Manila, Philippines) is a Filipina singer and actress who first reached international audiences at 18 when she originated the role of Kim in the West End production of Miss Saigon - a performance that won her the Olivier Award and, when she reprised it on Broadway, the Tony Award, making her the first Asian actress to win in that category. She is also the singing voice behind two Disney princesses, Jasmine in Aladdin (1992) and Fa Mulan in Mulan (1998), for which Disney named her a Disney Legend. With 14 albums and sold-out concerts at venues from Carnegie Hall to the Royal Albert Hall and the Sydney Opera House, she remains one of the best-selling Filipino artists of all time.
