Avery Philips Paraiso (born September 22, 1994) is a Filipino-Irish commercial model and actor who is best known as one of the Top 14 finalists of the sixth season of StarStruck.
Before joining the reality show, Avery already appeared in several commercial shoots as a model. He considers his hair an advantage because aside from the fact that it is “low maintenance”, it has won him roles in commercials before.
Paraiso was born in Honolulu, Hawaii to an Irish mother and a Filipino father and but was raised in the Philippines since age three. Even at a young age, says Avery, he would always watch television and wonder what it would be like to be in front of the camera and be a household name.
He graduated from the Montessori Integrated School of Antipolo and is studying Mass Communication in La Salle Antipolo, has been working since he was 14. When he was 16, he got into commercials, and began acting at 17. He also won the Circle of 10 model search in 2009.
In 2013, Avery also appeared regularly in a variety show in PAGCOR, called Not Your Ordinary Variety Show. It is staged in different PAGCOR casinos around the country and features the Not Your Ordinary Boys and Girls members in specially-mounted production numbers where they get to show off their dancing and hosting skills. They also do some ramp modeling. His group, the Not Your Ordinary Boys and Girls is composed of six boys and two girls, including StarStruck season 5's Ian Batherson, took up various workshops under Direk Laurice Guillen, Mr. Pen Medina, Ms. Annie Quintos of The Company, G-Force and Mr. Boy Abunda.
