The youngest of three siblings, she has two elder sisters named Rhoda and Sheila. She learned to play the piano at age 8. Influenced by her dad’s fondness for karaoke, Villania began to sing at an early age. By age 13, she has fronted for Filipino acts like Pops Fernandez, Martin Nievera, the APO Hiking Society and Jaya in her hometown.

Villania’s first TV appearance was via IBC-13’s Game Channel, an interactive texting game show. While hosting for the show, she was offered to join the cast of GMA 7’s youth-oriented hit program “Click”. As Game Channel grew in popularity, it was later transferred to ABC-5 and given a new format as “Game Channel Extreme”. GMA 7, afterward, included her in its afternoon drama project “Walang Hanggan” along with Oyo Boy Sotto and Valerie Concepcion. In 2004, she transferred to GMA 7’s rival network, ABS-CBN, to accept a VJ job offered by its music channel subsidiary, MYX, and an acting role for another youth-oriented show, “Seasons of Love”. In 2005, she was chosen to co-host the daily noontime show, Wowowee, and the variety show, ASAP Mania. In 2006, Villania had to give up her hosting job for Wowowee to accommodate her two new ventures; a lifestyle show, Us Girls, for Studio 23 and a reality-dance show, U Can Dance. In 2007, she again hosted for the season 2 of U Can Dance and was paired with Vhong Navarro in the fantaserye Lastikman. In between, Villania was given numerous TV guestings for shows like Komiks, Love Spell and Your Song. She was also given the opportunity to play in Deal or No Deal and Wheel of Fortune.
