History

In April 1992, Freddie Garcia, then ABS-CBN executive vice president and general manager, and Johnny Manahan, then program director, formed the idea of creating a stable of new stars exclusively for the network.[2]

On June 25, 2011, the company celebrated its 19th anniversary on ASAP Rocks. It also launched the new website and the new music video with the current artists of the company.[3]

In 2019, Star Magic hosted a Mobile Legends: Bang Bang event with 4 teams of celebrities.[4]

In 2020, following the expiration and subsequent denial of ABS-CBN's franchise, Manahan and Mariole Alberto stepped down, with Manahan moving to Brightlight Productions and later to GMA Artist Center. Laurenti Dyogi was named the new head which took effect on January 1, 2021.[5]

In 2021, Star Magic announced during its Black Pen Day Signing that they will be launching Star Magic Records, a sub label under ABS-CBN Music; Star Magic Studio, which will create content for Star Magic artists; and Star Magic Digital Artist Agency, as well as relaunching ABS-CBN's theatre arm Teatro Kapamilya.[6]
