Christian Niel Retiza Bahaya (born May 30, 1995), better known as Christian Bahaya, is a Filipino singer. Later in his 20s, he pursued his passion for music when he joined Tawag ng Tanghalan on It's Showtime Season 2.[1]

Early life and education

Bahaya was born on May 30, 1995 in Davao City, Davao del Sur, Philippines. He is the second child of three children of Arnold Bahaya and Marites Retiza. He has an elder brother named Anlord and a younger sister named Princess.

In 2014, Bahaya obtained his bachelor's degree in mass communication at Ateneo de Davao University, Davao City, Philippines and he graduated in March 2018, where he was awarded as dean's lister multiple times.[2]

Career

Prior to Tawag Ng Tanghalan

In 2012, Bahaya's boyband group Y-Fi (stands for Young Filipinos) auditioned at The X Factor Philippines and advanced to the boot camp but didn't make it to the Top 20 of the said competition.

In 2015, Bahaya and his boyband group Y-Fi rakes in the award for the Grand Champion in the Vocal Group of the World (Senior Division) category at the World Championship of Performing Arts (WCOPA) in Long Beach, California, U.S.A. from July 11 to 19. The group joined in three categories and took home three medals as well for each category: (Gold) Original & Rock and (Silver) for the Open Category.[3]

Tawag Ng Tanghalan

Bahaya decided to have a solo career. On April 28, 2018, Bahaya participated in the fourth quarter of the second season of Tawag ng Tanghalan (TNT) sa Showtime, a singing competition broadcast on ABS-CBN. He was introduced as the singing photographer and videographer and he was dubbed as the Anak Inspiring Artist ng Davao. During the daily rounds, he made six-straight wins which brought him to the semi-final round.[4] Unfortunately, he didn't make it to the grand finals, even on Ultimate Resbak (wildcard round) because of his low judges' scores and public votes.[5] His contemporary, Janine Berdin emerged as the grand champion at the grand finale.[6]

Post-Tawag Ng Tanghalan

After his journey on Tawag ng Tanghalan, the management formed a singing group called Cove, an all-male singing trio. They are Bahaya, JM Bales, former Tawag ng Tanghalan semi-finalist and Sofronio Vasquez, former Tawag ng Tanghalan grand finalist.[7][8]
