Most may know Ashtine Olviga for her acting roles. From her breakout lead performance on Ang Mutya ng Section E to movies such as Minamahal and Manila’s Finest, she’s seen as one of the industry’s next big actresses. But acting isn’t the only thing Olviga can do, as the young star has dabbled in her fair share of music.
She got her start on a singing competition when she competed on the first season of Born To Be A Star. She’s also been in a handful of P-pop groups, most notably in the short-lived girl group LITZ. But now, the multi-hyphenate performer is taking her music career to the next level with the release of her debut single, Love Like U. And for her first time out, she gets romantic in a track that plays on the joys of young love.

Her Solo Debut
Released on April 22, Love Like U is a soft, melodic pop song led by Olviga’s welcoming vocals and breezy production. The track’s bright and lighthearted tone gives it the energy of a fun and romantic love song sung by someone who fell head over heels for a special someone. It makes for an easy and welcoming listen.
The single’s visuals and styling also reflect this heartfelt vibe, with Olviga dressed in a denim ensemble, making for an aesthetic rooted in Gen Z-meets-Y2K sensibilities. Adding to the youthful love song’s credibility is that it’s written and produced by Thyro Alfaro, a certified hitmaker behind many modern OPM classics.
Up until this point, Olviga’s solo music, aside from her work as a P-pop idol, has been song covers. She made her solo music career debut with a cover of Sabihin Mo Na under VIVA Records in 2019. Since then, she has sporadically released cover singles as part of movie and TV soundtracks, such as Sa Bawat Sandali and Sa Panaginip Na Lang in 2025. Love Like U marks a notable career shift for the young star, not to mention a milestone with her first original solo song now out for the world to enjoy.
Beyond her continued acting work, this may be the start of the potential and versatility we can expect from Ashtine Olviga, the musician.
