Facets Models opened its doors in 2004. Its managing Director, Chad Arrieta, had an eye for choosing individuals with great potential.
From the catwalk, to magazines and TV, Facets Models quickly found a comfortable position in the industry, and made a solid name in less than a year.
We have been gracing numerous magazines, newspapers, fashion shows events and competitions including MEGA, Preview, FHM, MetroHIM, Manual, Meg, Girlfriend, Gadgets, Chalk, Metro Weddings, Wedding Essentials, The Manila Bulletin, The Philippine Star, The Manila Standard, The Philippine Daily Inquirer, Esprit, Bayo, British India, The Body Shop, Shu Uemura, Skechers, NafNaf, Penshoppe, Bench, Folded & Hung, The Philippine Fashion Week, Billabong, Chocolate, Intima Manila, Lae Swimwear, Human, Canon, Whoops, MetroWear, Century Tuna Superbods, Mossimo Bikini Summit, and so much more that we can't even keep count.
We have also worked with some of Manila's best photographers, stylists, make-up artists, and fashion show directors that we are in awe with their talent and support.
Soon after, musicians such as singers and bands were interested to be managed by Facets, but wasn't quite ready for it yet.
Fast forward to 2007, Chad's good friend, singer and premier vocal arranger, Zebedee Zuniga, came into the picture. Zeb also had the knack for seeing talent in someone, but knew very little about managing.
Zeb has quite a handful of prominent names under his belt. He has personally taught voice to the likes of Radha, Dingdong Avanzado, Rico Blanco, Alfred Vargas and Joanna Ampil, to name a few. He has also coached numerous celebrities and recording artists for their recordings and live performances. Some of which are Regine Velasquez, Jaya, Piolo Pascual, Christian Bautista, Sam Milby, Erik Santos, Mark Bautista, SOP's "La Diva" and "You've Got Male", the finalists of GMA 7's Pinoy Idol, Celebrity Duets (Seasons 1-2) and Next Big Star, ABS-CBN's Search for a Star In A Million (Seasons 1-2) and ABC 5's Philippine Idol.
With their high standards and good taste in tow, Chad and Zeb decided to team up, and soon after, Facets Models and Artists was born.
One of Facets' desires is to launch and promote talents that are ready for the big time, anytime. So each talent undergoes intensive training under the tutelage of the two.
Facets wishes to expand their talent roster very soon. Plans of opening a training school is also in the works.
