Catriona Gray’s ingredients for success

Catriona Gray

While talent is one of the most important ingredients of success, it will not always be enough.

“It’s also about your drive and persistence. People who reach the top are those who have great attitude and are willing to improve themselves, who are professional, punctual and have that mindset that they want to keep on learning and being their best,” she said in her recent contract signing for the upcoming talent search “Top Class: The Rise to P-Pop Stardom.”

“You also have to be someone people will enjoy working with,” the beauty queen-singer-television host added.

Arduous yet exciting

As the contest’s host, the 2018 Miss Universe winner will oversee “the arduous, but exciting journey and transformation of 30 talented male aspirants”—five of whom will comprise a new boy idol group. The show is produced by Cornerstone Entertainment, Cignal TV, TV5 and Kumu.

And if there’s one thing Catriona has learned from her journey in the pageant world, it’s that having a solid support system is just as crucial.

“I have had an eventful journey myself, and I remember the people who were part of it, who were there for me. Now I get to be in this position to see how these talents will grow, improve and reach their dreams,” she said. “It’s something very fulfilling.”
