mall tours

From January's Fiama (where Dianne produced a charity show - see previous blog entry), Dianne went to the U.S. for a two-week rest and recreation and came back here in time for her January 23 show at Robinson's Galleria, the last of her Robinson Mall tours. She did a Podium show to kick off her SM mall tours.

Robinson Malls are over, now Dianne Elise goes to SM Malls (hmm, with the last CD she had SM first and then Robinson's, but that has no bearing on the subject)... just concluded her mall show at SM North EDSA's Annex, which was attended by many people. She sang some 6 songs and the audience wanted more. But the objective was reached, to promoted her album of course, Committed, with the debut single, "If You're Not the One" and now her second single, "If I Let You Go." Previously, she also had a Valentine show at SM Fairview which they called, "Big Love."

Among the many things that Dianne Elise is busy with, she is now doing a once a week gig every Wednesday at Bela Bar, along P. Guevarra Street near the corner of Wilson Street in San Juan. The owners are family friends. She is also back at Wave 891 for her Vintage Soul 8pm show.

Dianne Elise is also excited that she finished her second music video on the Committed album for the song "If I Let You Go." The vid is expected to be shown any day in April, hopefully after the editing is finished. And oh, summer is here. So I'm sure there are a lot of fun things to do for this lovely lass. And of course, you won't be left out. So, stay tuned. And always, live la vida loca.

Hear Ye! Hear Ye!

homestretch

Whew, at least I am in time before October ends. So, what's up with the charming singer? She's still gigging Saturdays at Prophets in Mandaluyong (see previous blog) and though, the whole week is free - she's busy finishing up on her sophomore album under MCA. The music video will debut tomorrow night, Saturday, at MYX with behind-the-scenes footage. Dianne Elise hopes that the album release is this month, but there is still no venue.
The carrier single of her new album entitled, Committed, is "If You're Not the One." She fought hard to make this song the flagship. The song is already being played in radios although the CD release is yet to happen. What a marketing marvel these wizards do at MCA.
She is also excited about a new project. She wants to do a charity show in November, as another birthday offering. When she turned 18, instead of a grand debutante's ball, she had a charity concert at her parents' bar, Options in Tomas Morato (closed now) in November of 2003, which featured Noel Cabangon, among others; and she was able to contribute P30,000 to Childhope Asia, an organization which teaches streetchildren from the proceeds of the show (100%). After five years, it's about time she repeats this act of kindness, which Dianne Elise thinks did more for her emotionally and spiritually than the meager amount that helped the street kids in some way.
She will have an hour show with WAVE 89.1, with one of their resident DJs to interview her about this latest CD and do the radio tours anytime soon. By November, she will be back at WAVE 89.1 with her Vintage Soul program. Watch out also for the mall tours which of course, I will be posting.
I gathered some pics here for your perusal. So, ta-ta for now. Catch up with you later.

la di da, september na!

So, it's September. Wow. Three months again that I haven't blogged? In those months, so many things have happened. Dianne Elise is doing the finishing stages of her new album. She was signed up by MCA and the first thing she did was sing at the Mariah Carey's album launch in Eastwood City dubbed E=MC2, together with other MCA talents. She is back at Aruba every Tuesday and now singing at Prophets Bar in Mandaluyong (located at California Garden Square along Libertad Street) every Saturday this month (Thursdays last month, August).

Dianne Elise did a TV commercial, which is for this brand, Fibrolium (sp?) always aired on Channel 7's 24 Oras at night. She's wearing green and try to catch it at the beginning. She also did some TV appearances here and there, like the ASAP show where she sang a duet of the song "Swept Away" with Papa Piolo Pascual. She also did a guest appearance at Studio 23's SBX and QTV's Good Night Show wtih Jojo A.

Many more things to do and for Dianne Elise, everything is coming up roses. Watch out for more updates!

Catch Dianne Elise at TJ's and enjoy the good food, great ambience and warm hospitality the place has to offer. See you soon!

Here are pics from the past, one taken by Aaron Villavicencio for the first promotional pictures for the album Now and Then and another with Jay-R at Eastwood City, during WAVE 89.1's anniversary celebration. Cheers!

Dianne Elise at TJ's Greenhills every Saturday

Dianne Elise, recording artist and responsible for the revival of the songs, "You're the Inspiration" and "Swept Away" will be performing at TJ's Restobar every Saturday for the month of May. TJ's, (located at Greenhills Shopping Center, Ortigas side) with their Ilocano "bagnet" specialty is expected to capture the discriminating taste of Greenhills residents and people from all over Mega Manila who appreciate good food. No less than Dianne Elise will serenade the patrons on Saturdays, joined by Mark Santos on keyboards.

Dianne Elise, called “an Angel who is an embodiment of talent and grace” has her own radio show called Vintage Soul, every Wednesday at 8:15 PM on Wave 89.1 FM. Recently, audiences were able to catch her on ABS-CBN’s famed variety show ASAP when she sang her second single “Swept Away” with Piolo Pascual. She also made TV appearances and performed on GMA’s Walang Tulugan, Studio 23’s SBX, and Qtv’s The Good Night Show.

Dianne just finished wrapping up a slew of radio tours and mall shows all over the Philippines and soon will start recording her sophomore album to be released later this year. There is no doubt that she is only at the start of her long illustrious career and we will be hearing more from this young, spellbinding singer.

wow, is it 2008?

Whoa, it's been four months since I last wrote in. So, it's 2008. It's Year of the Rat, and although many are saying that this is going to be a tough year, Dianne Elise has since inched her way to make it a better year for her. Since December, D.E. has moved in to perform at the Robinson's Malls and she had a blast promoting her CD, signing them and singing to her heart's delight.

Recently, she also started doing radio tours and some TV shows. She sang with Piolo Pascual at an ASAP show, performed at SBX on Channel 23, had some chat and song number at Tito Germ's Walang Tulugan and taped a show with Jojo A.'s Jojo A. All the Way or Good Night Show at QTV. As if these were not enough, she also did an emceeing job at Ford's "Don't Drink and Drive" Youth Summit held at The Fort, together with some VJs at MTV and radio DJs. And don't forget, of course, she was on the 7th Anniversary Party of Wave 89.1 held at Eastwood City, together with the country's top singers Jay Durias, Nina, Thor, Jay-R, Amber, Kitty Girls and many more.

Watch out for more update next time. (Hope it doesn't take 4 months!)
