"Each artist, with their unique sound and captivating presence, is set to deliver unforgettable performances that will showcase their exceptional musical gifts," said Wide Music Entertainment producers Pauline Publico and April Martin during a press conference held in Quezon City recently.
Hannah and Mariane will be featured in the concert "Versus" on Oct. 10, while Thea, Chloe, and Jessica will headline the "Born For This" tour later this year.
At the media con, the talented Kapuso artists shared their diverse musical influences that have shaped their creative journeys.
"Noong bata pa ako, hindi ako hinayaan ng mother ko na makinig lamang sa isang artist para ma-achieve ko ang ibang style. Iba-iba ang binibigay niya sa akin pero ang pinaka-gusto ko talagang artist ay si Whitney Houston. Inaral ko talaga na maging buo ang boses ko para makanta ko ang songs niya. (When I was little, my mother didn't let me listen to just one artist so that I could achieve a different style. She gave me other things, but the artist I really liked the most was Whitney Houston. I really studied to make my voice whole so I could sing her songs)," said Hannah.
Marianne answered, "Ako naman lahat na yata ng biritera tulad nila Whitney Houston at Celine Dion. Then sa OPM artists naman andyan sila Ate Regine Velasquez, and Ms Lani Misalucha. Inaaral ko rin ang mga technique nila. Hanggang ngayon na-apply ko pa rin ang technique nila sa singing style ko. Si Beyonce rin. Andyan din si Jennifer Hudson. Sila lang naman. (I like the music belters like Whitney Houston and Celine Dion. Then among the OPM artists, there's Ate Regine Velasquez, and Ms Lani Misalucha. I also study their techniques. Until now, I've still applied their methods to my singing style. Beyonce too. Jennifer Hudson is also on my list. They're the only ones.)"
"Noong kabataan ko, si Celine Dion talaga ang pina-aral sa akin ng papa ko. When I experienced a lot, you wanted a different style. So kapag may naririnig akong ibang singer, gusto mo naman iba ang attack. So naging Regine and Lani. Pero wala talaga akong specific style. Depende po sa kanta. (When I was young, my dad really taught me about Celine Dion. When I experienced a lot, you wanted a different style. So when I heard another singer, you wanted a different attack. So now there's Regine and Lani. But I don't really have a specific style. It depends on the song)," said Jessica.
Thea said,"Isa sa mga formative ways na ginagawa ng mommy ko is when she bought me a DVD copy of 'Annie: The Musical.' Si Lea Salonga talaga yung isang sa mga nilo-look up to ko when I was younger. She really inspired me to take this path now. I remember Sarah Geronimo also. Kapag nakikita ko siyang nag-so-song and dance noon, sumasabay ako at kunwari nag-kio-concert din ako sa bedroom namin. (One of the formative ways my mom did it was when she bought me a DVD copy of 'Annie: The Musical.' Lea Salonga was really one of the people I looked up to when I was younger. She really inspired me to take this path now. I remember Sarah Geronimo, too. When I saw her singing and dancing back then, I would join in and pretend I was doing a concert in our bedroom.)"
"Ako talaga, I grew up with the music of Sarah Geronimo. My parents are big fans of Sarah G. So doon na talaga ako lumaki sa music ni Sarah G. My mother was telling me when I was a kid, tumatayo raw ako sa ibabaw ng table kapag nag patugtog ng music ni Sarah G and sumasabay daw ako performing. (I actually grew up with the music of Sarah Geronimo. My parents are big fans of Sarah G. So that's where I really grew up with Sarah G's music. My mother was telling me when I was a kid, she used to stand on top of the table when Sarah G's music was playing, and she would perform along)," said Chloe.
