Personal life[edit]
Carren Eistrup was born as Carren Emol Eistrup Frederiksen on February 5, 2009, in Cebu City, to a Danish father and a Filipino mother. Eistrup and her two elder brothers were solely raised by their mother, and it had been over a decade since she last saw her father who lived in Denmark. At the age of four, her mother discovered her singing talent through workshops, and she began playing piano and guitar at seven. During the pandemic, she launched her YouTube channel for song covers and livestream. Eistrup is a consistent academic awardee and student leader, where she has proven her ability to manage work and studies effectively.[2][3]
Career[edit]
In June 2018, nine-year-old Eistrup debuted on Eat Bulaga! as a contestant in the talent competition "Hype Kang Bata Ka!", where she finished as a grand finalist and in the same year, she won eight gold medals and seven division championship plaques at the World Championships of Performing Arts (WCOPA) held in Long Beach, California. In February 2023, she was named the grand winner of Eat Bulaga! segment, "Bida Next" making her the newest member of the noontime show, followed by the release of her debut digital album, "Bida Next," alongside co-finalists Kimpoy Feliciano and Sheena Palad. In March 2023, she was given her own segment, "Carren Sings".[4] [5]
Eistrup confirmed her resignation from TAPE Inc. on June 8, 2023, to join TV5's noontime program, E.A.T., led by Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto, and Joey de Leon.[6][7] Currently, she returns as a cast member of Eat Bulaga! where her career began, after TVJ won a trademark dispute against TAPE Inc., allowing them to use Eat Bulaga! and drop their interim title, E.A.T. on January 6, 2024.[8]
