Kris’ double victory at Star Awards for Music

MANILA, Philippines - Kris Lawrence’s (photo) double victory at the sixth PMPC Star Awards for Music held recently proved his solid footing in the local R&B circuit.

The singer bagged the R&B Artist of the Year award while his Spread the Love album was named R&B Album of the Year.

Surprised at his double victory, Kris posted on his Instagram account: “First and foremost, I’d like to thank the Lord, Jesus Christ. It is because of You I received this. Thank You for using me as your instrument to reach people and inspire and most importantly to love them. Thank you to everyone who believes in my artistry & for listening to my songs.”

He also thanked his manager Arnold Vegafria, GMA Records, composer Vehnee Saturno, his family, friends and loyal fans for their unwavering support.

Last July, Kris won second runner up for his interpretation of the song Torpe in the 2014 Philpop competition.

With his lucky streak, Kris hopes to garner even more accolades with the release of his fourth album for Universal Records before the end of the year.
