Biography
Marvic Castelo Sotto was born on April 28, 1954 to Marcelino Antonio Ojeda Sotto and Dr. Herminia Castelo. He studied at Colegio de San Juan de Letran. He is the brother of Marcelino Antonio "Maru" Sotto, Jr., Vicente "Tito" Sotto, and Valmar "Val" Sotto. [1]
Early career
He started his career as a folk singer and guitarist. During these years, Sotto was also the lead vocalist of the disco funk band VST & Company. He produced such songs as "Awitin Mo at Isasayaw Ko", "Rock, Baby, Rock", and "Kung Sakali".[citation needed]
He joined his brothers Tito and Val in the early 1970s gag show OK Lang under IBC 13. This is where he met another comedian, Joey de Leon, who invited the brothers to join him. The trio of Tito, Vic and Joey (TVJ) was thus formed, casting in Iskul Bukol, TVJ (Television's Jesters), Rock and Roll 2000 and hosting Eat Bulaga!.[citation needed]
Current career
In the last three decades, he has done sitcoms and television shows for 3 networks, ABS-CBN, GMA Network and TV5 (most of which were for GMA).
