After almost two decades in the entertainment industry, actress-dancer Maja Salvador ventured into business as she launched her own artist management company.
"Ako po ay sobrang excited sa bagong yugto ng aking career at makita kung saan ako nito dadalhin. Sa aking pagpapatuloy dito sa industriya, I think the best move for me now is to manage myself. At para magawa ko po ito successfully, I put up Crown Artist Management Inc., @crownartistmgmt kasama ang mga tao na malapit sa puso ko," Maja revealed on Instagram.
Maja used to be a freelance artist before the shutdown of ABS-CBN where she was signed under its management subsidiary's Star Magic.
In the same post, the 32-year-old versatile star thanked her home network for honing her talents the past 18 years.
"I'm forever grateful for all the love I've been given by my Star Magic family, and the opportunities I've been blessed with working with very talented people in the industry. Kung sino ako ngayon, I owe to them and ABS-CBN dahil sa kanilang pag gabay at pagtiwala sa aking kakayanan," Maja related.
Maja then asked her fans to support her talent agency - Crown Artist Management Inc.
"Sa malaking hakbang na ito with my own management company sana tuloy tuloy niyo pa din po akong suportahan in this new journey of mine trying to make other people's dreams come true as well, tulad na lang ng pagtupad niyo ng sarili kong pangarap."
Among Maja's memorable projects include the TV series "Wildflower" and "The Killer Bride."
Prior, Maja already garnered subsequent success for her roles in the teleseryes "Ina, Kapatid, Anak," "The Legal Wife," and "Bridges of Love."
Her loved ones and friends in showbiz congratulated her for her new achievement.
"Congratulations, Maja! My best wishes to you for starting your business. I hope for nothing but growth and independence. Soaaar like an eagle!!," Kris Bernal wrote.
Roxanne Barcelo commented: "What a massive step for the queen."
Her boyfriend, Rambo Nuñez, declared: "Proud of you, always."
Other celebrities who wished her the best were Ruffa Gutierrez, Erich Gonzales, Adrian Alandy, Jerald Napoles, and Ariella Arida.
