Our vision is to improve self confidence, established ourselves as a recognized Performing Arts facility, enhance and develop talents and be recognized as a brand.<\/p>\n

FFounded Josie de Leon and Mark Crescini both came from musical backgrounds. Josie began singing and performing professionally at a young age of 16 and husband Mark Crescini with background as producer\/engineer, artist management and development. Both has the passion to develop young aspiring artist to perform at their very best. They took on the challenge of developing a 10th place contestant in a semi final round to win Grand Champion. Thus giving birth to the \"Josie de Leon School of Performing Arts\". Other than technical skills, we strongly believe that there are many contributing factors that make up a winner.<\/p>\n
