Viral Filipina singing sensation Gigi De Lana fulfills two of her biggest dreams with the upcoming release of her debut album under ABS-CBN Music and the eventual staging of her own digital concert produced by ABS-CBN Events. The RISE Artists Studio talent - whose spontaneous cover of "Bakit Nga Ba Mahal Kita" that had several key altercations recently blew up on social media - will finally get to showcase more of her vocal prowess through a full-length album.
“Nag-pursige kami ng The Gigi Vibes band na gumawa ng sariling songs. Dun kami nag-grow at dun kami nag-start, so meron po kaming ilalabas na album,” Gigi shared, adding that the new single will be released across multiple music streaming platforms on September 24. She is also set to headline her first YouTube Music Night concert in December that promises to be full of surprises. “We are preparing for something big and ito inaareglo na ng banda kung ano ba ‘yung gagawin sa mga kanta, gagawa kami ng medley, maraming pakulo. May guests din pero secret pa,” Gigi teased. She will also be part of the 1MX Dubai Filipino music festival which will be held live on December 3, 2021.
Dubbed as The Rising Viral Star, Gigi first entered the limelight when she competed in the inaugural season of It's Showtime's flagship segment Tawag Ng Tanghalan where she was one of the grand finalists. During the onset of the pandemic, Gigi launched the online live gig GG Vibes where she performs covers with the Gigi Vibes Band and even takes song requests from online viewers. GG Vibes regularly records netizens' praises for Gigi's amazing voice and amasses thousands of live viewers on Facebook and YouTube. Aside from singing, Gigi also ventured into acting, having played a supporting role in Star Cinema's "Four Sisters Before The Wedding" in 2020.
This year, Gigi officially became a Star Magic artist as she signed with ABS-CBN's premiere talent management arm during its monumental Black Pen Day. Prior to Gigi, fellow singers Jona and Juris together with Jed Madela staged two separate free YouTube Music Night virtual concerts last February.
