Only one year into her singing career, gifted toddler Sarina Hilario has already scored her first viral music video, played her first festival and met her favorite girl group! This super-cute two-year-old has barely learned to walk but is fast-tracking her way into internet history with her adorable singing and outlandish personality.
Sarina’s greatest hit to date, a heart-melting cover of Frank Sinatra’s 1964 classic, “Fly Me To The Moon,” has surpassed 2.9 million YouTube views in only half a year, leaving viewers completely smitten. And it’s not just her cute, squeaky voice that’s got fans obsessed; it’s Sarina’s incredible ability to memorize the lyrics and sing in tune like a child prodigy in the making!
In this viral clip, Sarina sings her heart out in the recording studio, confident, smiling non-stop and completely oblivious to pressure. Music Man readers are destined to adore the joy Sarina emanates throughout each verse of the song, clearly loving every moment as she clamps the adult-sized headphones over her tiny ears. Sarina holds the classic tune pretty well for a two-year-old, while her childish tones, pronunciations and unorthodox articulation make her rendition ten times more special.
Sarina’s video, uploaded to her father, Jhong Hilario’s YouTube channel, lies amongst myriad family vlogs showing Sarina in her natural, happy-go-lucky state as the family take on adventures across the globe. Amid wedding anniversaries at Balesin Island, Japanese adventures, American adventures, and even celebrating New Year’s Eve in Paris, Sarina’s Frank Sinatra cover remains the family’s most-watched video, over 1M views above the rest.
The two-year-old is a star in her own right: already boasting 271K Instagram followers and a shocking 1.2M TikTok followers. Her head start as a celebrity stems back to her Filipino-famous father, Jhong, whose credits stretch from acting, dancing, TV show hosting and, oddly, even to politics. He and long-term partner, Maia Leviste Azores, welcomed Sarina, their first child, in 2021, and the rest is (YouTube-documented) history!
Sarina, who turned three in April this year, celebrated her birthday at Disneyland in Hong Kong. In June, she met the Filipino P-Pop girl group, BINI, and immortalized the moment on YouTube and Instagram through clips of the stage-ready girls circling Sarina, holding her, dressing her in bows, and genuinely admiring her cuteness! Later that evening, Sarina watched BINI on stage to see how it’s done, and there’s no doubt from the all-consuming look of awe on her jaw-dropped face that Sarina was picking up performing tips in the process!
