At just 23, Jess Martinez is already living a life many dream of—viral social media success, TV screen appearances, and now, a full-blown entry into Philippine showbiz. But for Jess, this is more than just luck. It’s destiny shaped by bold ambition, a love for fashion, and a childhood that looked straight out of a fairy tale.
Yesterday, Jess was officially introduced as Artist Circle’s newest talent. The intimate media conference was filled with press, family, and supporters—an emotional moment for the Davao-born beauty whose path from influencer to actress has been nothing short of magical.
“This feels surreal. I’ve always loved performing, but I never thought things would move this fast,” Jess says with her signature bright smile.
A Princess Upbringing with a Fashionable Twist
Raised in Davao, Jess’s childhood was anything but ordinary. She recalls being dressed like a Barbie doll—no exaggeration—thanks to her mother, a fashion designer who instilled in her a deep love for style. She grew up with security guards, beautiful clothes, and the quiet luxury of a close-knit, supportive family.
“My mom would make me custom dresses. I felt like a princess every day,” Jess shares. “That’s why I look up to Heart Evangelista so much—not just as an actress, but as a woman of style and grace. I dream of working with her someday.”
It’s no surprise she became a fashion influencer, drawing tens of thousands of fans to her Instagram and over 570,000 followers on TikTok. But while fashion was her first platform, acting would soon become her passion.
Stepping Into the Spotlight
Jess got her first break on GMA Network’s hit afternoon drama “Abot Kamay na Pangarap.” Her natural charm and on-screen presence left a mark—and doors started opening.
Her biggest project yet? The upcoming GMA action series “Sanggang Dikit,” where she stars alongside no less than Dennis Trillo and Jennilyn Mercado. For a newcomer, it’s a bold leap—and Jess is ready for it.
“I’m learning so much. It’s challenging, but I love every moment. Acting gives me a different kind of high,” she says.
Despite her busy schedule, Jess hasn’t put her education on hold. She’s currently taking up Business Management at Southville International School, balancing her time between classwork and camera lights.
Why Artist Circle? For Jess, it felt like home.
“Na-feel ko ‘yung family vibe. They accepted me for who I am,” she shares. “And that’s so important for someone like me, starting fresh in this industry.”
With their guidance, she’s already mapping out a career filled with exciting roles, fashion endorsements, and yes—maybe that collab with Heart Evangelista.
Oh, and her showbiz crush? A quick laugh escapes before she spills: “Andres Muhlach! Super gwapo. But for now, career muna!”
What’s Next for Jess Martinez?
There’s a sparkle in Jess’s eyes when she talks about the future. She’s not just dreaming—she’s working, learning, and growing.
And as fans wait to see her shine in Sanggang Dikit, one thing is clear: Jess Martinez is not just a pretty face or viral sensation. She’s a new kind of star—real, stylish, and totally unforgettable.
