Brenan Espartinez is a Filipino male singer.
Music career
Brenan Espartinez started singing at an early age. He used to sing the theme song of "Bayani", an Educational show aired on ABS-CBN in the early 90's. At age 15, he auditioned for Ryan Cayabyab who is in search of new singing talents. He passed the audition and became part of a band named Kaya, a pop sensation group of 4 singers including him and 3 girls (Shemara Fe Flatts, Ernestina Jacinto & Lougee Basabas). Kaya was under BMG Records (now named to Sony Music) handled by Ryan Cayabyab, Rudy Tee and Boy Abunda. Kaya had a total of 4 music videos. 2 videos of their own (Oblivious & I know), 1 video they sang for a competition (Tara Tena with Kyla which won as JAM: Himig Handog Sa Makabagong Kabataan 2001's Song of the Year, Best R&B Song and Best R&B Performance) and 1 video they were featured on (Radio Guy sung by Ciudad). Kaya was nominated as Best New Band of the Year in MTV Pilipinas 2001. Though their band didn't shine that much, Brenan still finds his way to become a singer and that is how he got in Pinoy Pop Superstar.
Brenan is now working with Hollywood's Bluetown Syndicate and one of SkeeTv's Producers- Th8a aka Joe Fabio along with international singer/songwriter Dianne Franc for his 5- track album entitled Unrestricted. Unrestricted is the carrier single written by Dianne Franc and produced by Th8a aka Joe Fabio for this new same titled Album released last March 22, 2013. The whole album is set to hit worldwide not later than June 2013.
