She released the album “Electric Youth” in 1989, which became one of the best-selling albums in the Philippines and her highest charting release in her career. 

The album contained the iconic song “Electric Youth,” which rose to No. 11 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. 

“Electric Youth” became one of the most memorable albums following its release and it defined an entire generation. The album also contained the songs “Lost In Your Eyes”, “We Could Be Together” and “No More Rhyme.” 

After 35 years, “Electric Youth” songs are still popular today, racking up millions of streams on Spotify. 

After conquering the pop world with her first three albums, Debbie starred in 17 musicals over 17 years, playing iconic characters such as Eponine in “Les Miserables,” Sandy in “Grease,” Fanny Brice in “Funny Girl”, Velma Kelly in “Chicago” and Belle in “Beauty and the Beast.”

In 2020, Debbie returned to the Billboard charts with a No. 4 Dance Chart smash “Girl’s Night Out”. 

In 2021, she guest starred in “Lucifer” on Netflix, and did a successful residency at The Venetian in Vegas with New Kids On The Block member Joey McIntyre. 

In the same year, she released her first album in 20 years, “The Body Remembers”, which shot to No. 2 on Apple Pop Sales Chart, achieving over a million streams in the first month. 

In 2022, she released her first holiday album, “Winterlicious,” and completed a sold-out Winter Tour in the USA. 

Last year, she was invited to perform as the “Nightowl” in the hit TV series “The Masked Singer,” and announced a book deal for her upcoming memoir.

She was honored with the Trailblazer Award in January 2024 from The Women’s International Music Network at the 12th Annual She Rocks Awards.
