Career
editRufa Mi began as a band singer, joining contests before entering Philippine show business. Rufa Mi auditioned for Pinoy Pop Superstar twice but failed, later entering an impersonation contest and dance audition for the EB Babes dance troupe in Eat Bulaga! but still did not win. One of the EB Babes judges, Andrew de Real, gave her a chance to perform at The Library, a known comedy bar. Since then, Joey de Leon gave her the stage name "Rufa Mi" because she bears a resemblance Rufa Mae Quinto.[1][3][4][5]
Television commitments aside, Rufa Mi currently performs at The Library every Friday.[6]
