Miah Tiangco

Tiangco started out as a contender in Tawag ng Tanghalan, a competition segment in a noontime variety show It's Showtime, where he managed to be a two-time defending champion in the first two seasons.^[1]

Tiangco initially auditioned for the inaugural season of The Clash, but was rejected until a year later,^[2] advancing in the second season, where he was declared a grand champion after performing Fantasia’s “I Believe” in the finals. His victory earned him P1 million cash prize, a house and lot, a car, and an exclusive management contract with GMA Network.^[3]

Tiangco became a regular performer on the variety show All-Out Sundays, which began airing in January 2020, where he performed both solo and collaborative numbers with other artists.^[4]

On April 15, 2023, Tiangco held his first major concert entitled Dare to Be Different, where he also served as a co-director, in collaboration with Lee Junio Gasid.^[5]

In 2025, Tiangco made his first acting role in Mga Batang Riles,^[6] but almost a month, he silently departed from GMA Network and its shows to participate in Tawag ng Tanghalan: All-Star Grand Resbak, as one of the returning contestants from previous seasons.^[7] After the competition, a boy band named "4Play" is formed, where Tiangco is one of the members, along with fellow participants, Ian Manibale, Eich Abando, and Mark Justo.^[8] Tiangco competed again in the second season of Tawag ng Tanghalan: Duets, with Eunice Encarnada as his partner under the tandem 'Dugong Bughaw'.^[9]

In March 2025, Tiangco announced on the noontime competition program Tawag ng Tanghalan that he and his longtime partner were expecting their first child, a son to be named Raya Lux. He also stated that his decision to return to the contest was motivated by a desire to inspire his child by continuing to pursue his musical career.^[10]

In 2022, Tiangco launched his own café enterprise, named Biyaya Café, located in Imus, Cavite. The café features a design with industrial elements complemented by boho accents such as rattan chairs and palm-straw chandeliers, reflecting his personal taste. He publicly announced the investment and opening of Biyaya Café as a milestone for his career beyond music, expressing gratitude to his supporters and stating that this initial venture is “just the start”.^[11][12]
