KreativDen's CEO Kate Valenzuela and Star Music label head Andie Arellano were also in attendance.
"Wala akong ibang nilu-look forward sa totoo lang. Gusto ko lang talagang makagawa ng maraming-maraming songs pa para sa lahat ng mga tao na hanggang ngayon ay mahal ang music, mahal ang mga kantang ginagawa ko," Quinto said.
Aside from her Star Music family, One Music Management and KreativDen, Quinto also expressed gratitude to Star Magic and ABS-CBN executives.
After signing, Quinto, dubbed as the Queen of Teleserye Theme Songs, told ABS-CBN News that she is looking forward to doing more songs and concerts. She also revealed that the will be doing a major concert this year.
"Ang nilu-look forward ko talaga ay maraming songs pa tayong magawa. Marami pa tayong concerts na magawa kasi bilang isang singer talaga, wala akong ibang gustong gawin kung hindi makapagbigay nang napakalaking inspirasyon sa mga tao. At sobrang thankful ako, alam niyo 'yung song na 'Patuloy Ang Pangarap' na isinulat ni Sir Jonathan Manalo, may mga OFW na talagang nagme-message sa akin at nagpapasalamat sila kasi dahil sa kantang 'Patuloy Ang Pangarap' hindi nila binitawan ang pangarap nila. So hanggang ngayon patuloy silang lumalaban sa buhay bilang OFW para sa pamilya nila. Kapag nakaka-receive ako ng mga ganoong messages mas lalo akong nae-excite na gumawa nang iba't ibang klaseng kanta," Quinto said.
"Yes, marami tayong gagawing mga kanta, maraming concerts. Lahat lahatin na natin 'yan. Sana makasama ko ang BINI," she added.

For Quinto, her 15-year journey was not easy.
"Hindi biro at napakaraming nangyari sa loob ng 15 taon. At ang talagang napa-proud lang ako sa sarili ko na anuman ang nangyari sa loob ng 15 years na 'yon mas naging matibay ako, mas naging strong ako, mas naging powerful ako," Quinto said.
"At kung anuman ang nilu-look forward ko pa para sa career ko eh 'yung makapagbigay pa ako ng mas malaki at maraming-maraming inspirasyon sa mga taong napanghihinaan ng loob para sa mga pangarap nila. Kasi ang pagtupad ng pangarap natin walang pinipiling edad 'yan. So kahit anong edad ang abutin mo kapag hindi pa ibinibigay ng Panginoon 'yan matuto tayong maghintay," Quinto said.
Apart from her career, Quinto is a also a wife and mother to her two kids.
Looking forward to her continuing journey, Quinto is hoping to do more original songs and collaborations with other artists. She's also dreaming of doing more acting projects, reiterating that she wants to win a best actress award.
