In college, she was an active member of AIESEC University of the Philippines Diliman Local Committee where she was the Vice President for Outgoing Exchange from 2003-2004. She was also a member of OBEM or the Organization of Business Economics Majors.
Sitti has won two beauty pageant awards: the title of Miss Visayas 2001 in the Miss Travel Girl Pageant, and the first runner-up prize in the search for "Miss Silka" where she also won both Miss Friendship and Best in Swimwear.
[edit] Musical career
Since the age of 16, Sitti has been performing gigs at the Hyatt Calesa Bar and others. Although it was her dream to be a TV host, she is now one of the Philippines' newest singers. In 2004, MTV Philippines started "MTV Supahstar: D' Super Search", where Sitti was one of the winners. She also appeared in the group's music videos, showcasing her talents. It led to her recording contract.
Her debut album, Café Bossa, was released in 2006. Four songs have been released': "Tattooed On My Mind", a remake of the D'Sound hit; "Hey Look At The Sun", "I Didn't Know I Was Looking For Love", and "Para Sa Akin". She is also known for her version of "One Note Samba", originally performed by bossa nova queen Astrud Gilberto, whom Sitti idolizes. A live album, Sitti Live!, was released in late 2006, and Café Bossa was re-released with a VCD in 2007.
Sitti collaborated with Club Myx to release Sitti in the Mix - The Dense Modesto Remixes, a collection of songs from Café Bossa that were made into dance-electronica songs with the help of DJ Dense Modesto, in mid-2007, before the release of her second album My Bossa Nova, which focuses on more recent songs. My Bossa Nova was re-released in mid 2008 with a VCD of Sitti Live! 2 called My Bossa Nova Live! and is now a certified Platinum album at the moment.
In the third quarter of 2008, Sitti released her first Christmas album, Ngayong Pasko. Unlike her past albums, this album is purely a cover versions album with only one original song, the carrier single and title of the album, Ngayong Pasko. This album also has reached the Gold status in less than a month after its release.
Sitti has also collaborated with Asia's Pop Idol and Romantic Balladeer, Christian Bautista for his album Captured for a duet of the song of the same title. They once again collaborated for Sitti's Christmas album for the song "Baby It's Cold Outside".

Sitti Navarro Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Feito numa nota sу
Outras notas vгo entrar
Mas a base й uma sу
Esta outra й consequкncia
Do que acabo de dizer
Como eu sou a consequкncia
Inevitбvel de vocк
Quanta gente existe por aн
Que fala tanto
E nгo diz nada
Ou quase nada
Jб me utilizei de toda a escala
E no final nгo sobrou nada
Nгo deu em nada
E voltei prб minha nota
Como eu volto prб vocк
Vou cantar com a minha nota
Como eu gosto de vocк
E quem quer todas as notas
Rй mi fб sol la si dу
Fica sempre sem nenhuma
Fique numa nota sу
There's so many people who can
Talk and talk and talk
And just say nothing
Or nearly nothing
I have used up all the scale I know
And at the end i've come to nothing
Or nearly nothing
So I came back to my first note
As I must come back to you
I will pour into that one note
All the love I feel for you
Anyone who wants the whole show
Re mi fa sol la si do
He will find himself with no show
Better play the note you know
He will find himself with no show
Better play the note you know
He will find himself with no show
Better play the note you know
In Sitti Navarro's song One Note Samba, the lyrics focus on the idea of simplicity and the importance of authenticity in expressing love. The song begins by stating that the samba was created with only one note, and while other notes will enter and enhance it, the base is simply one note. This signifies the idea that love can be expressed with simplicity, whether it is through one note or word. The singer goes on to say that because she is the consequence of the person she loves, she will continue to pour all her love into that one note, just as the samba is made up of one base note.
The lyrics also address the idea of people who talk too much but say very little. The singer compares herself to those people and reveals that she has used all the note scales she knows but at the end of the day, she has nothing left to say. Therefore, she came back to the one note that matters to her the most, which represents the person she deeply loves. The lyrics show that anything beyond this one note, whether it is excessive words or notes, will cause one to lose themselves and appear unauthentic.

aqui este sambinha
Feito numa nota só
Outras notas vão entrar
Mas a base é uma só
Esta outra é consequência
Do que acabo de dizer
Como eu sou a consequência
Inevitável de você
Quanta gente existe por aí
Que fala tanto
E não diz nada
Ou quase nada
Já me utilizei de toda a escala
E no final não sobrou nada
Não deu em nada
E voltei pra minha nota
Como eu volto pra você
Vou cantar com a minha nota
Como eu gosto de você
E quem quer todas as notas
Ré mi fá sol la si dó
Fica sempre sem nenhuma
Fique numa nota só
