Jericho Rosales joined Star Circle 4 in 1997. On the small screen, he was featured in several Maalaala Mo Kaya episodes, Pangako sa 'Yo, Sana'y Wala Nang Wakas and Ang Panday. The telenovela Pangako sa 'Yo made him a common household name, not only in the Philippines, but also in other South East Asian Countries as well, such as Malaysia.
He was discovered in a local noontime show, Eat Bulaga, after winning Mr. Pogi, a male looks and personality contest in 1996.
His acting in the episode of Maalaala Mo Kaya (Pasa) earned him his first Best Actor Star Award from the PMPC.
His transition to the big screen was an effortless one and his stand-out performances in critically-acclaimed films such as Tanging Yaman, Bagong Buwan, Noon at Ngayon, Santa Santita, and Nasaan Ka Man sealed his status as a serious actor. His last feature film was the life story of world boxing champion Manny Pacquiao wherein he played the lead. The result was another Best Actor Star Award from the PMPC in 2007.
Having recently reinvented himself as a vocalist, Echo makes music with as much passion as he pursues his other loves: performing and surfing.
His first effort, LOOSE FIT, a self-penned 14-song album with his band Jeans was released in Malaysia in 2007 and eventually was picked up for local release by EMI Philippines. Though it made critics heads turn, his tv and film followers were taken aback by the progressive direction that his initial music foray took and sales were tepid.
His 2-night sold out show, Raw Energy, at the Music Museum in 2007 was well received by both critics and the public. It was this collaboration with Philippine music icon Gary Valenciano that put him on the local music map. “Paglisan,” the first single from his latest album JERICHO, released by EMI hit number one in top-rating radio stations. A follow-up single, “Beautiful In My Eyes,” has started to attain similar success, topping public-request lists in top ranked fm stations Love Radio and Baranggay LS.
Asidfe from being active in his charity work with the Shining Light Foundation, Echo is currently filming a tv series in Malaysia and the Hollywood movie "I Love You Virus".
