Using her powerful voice and buoyant spirit, Tori Kelly has become one of music’s brightest stars. Since her emergence in the 2010s, she’s racked up Platinum certifications and hundreds of millions of streams, lending her vocal talents to the Sing series, and collaborating with a diverse breadth of artists like Justin Bieber, Jacob Collier, Jon Batiste, and Illenium. With her first full-length on Epic Records, TORI., the California-born two-time Grammy winner is primed to show off her wide range of musical influences and personal inspirations, weaving together arresting grooves, unrelenting movement, and her love of Y2K-era pop and R&B.
Kelly gave listeners a preview of her new direction on tori, the sleek 2023 EP that featured the skittering, Timbaland-echoing “cut” and the glittery vocal showcase “missin u.” On TORI., she expands on that release’s promise in a way that warrants its all-caps, full- statement title, bringing together sounds from the late ’90s and early ’00s in creative, exciting ways that put perpetual motion at the forefront—with the throughline being Kelly’s strong, versatile voice. “I love and grew up with all these different sounds,” she says, “And now I can put my own spin on these things that I’ve been inspired by.”
TORI. is Kelly’s first full-length since 2019’s Inspired by True Events, a cathartic album that led to the singer-songwriter experiencing an artistic breakthrough. “Inspired by True Events was very acoustic-feeling—a lot of live instruments, very heartfelt lyrics,” Kelly recalls. “I’d gone through a lot personally, and that’s just what came out of my soul.” Releasing it, she says, “felt so healing” and helped her process her emotions in a way that prepared her to dig into the rest of her artistic self.
Kelly’s music has touched millions around the world, and with TORI. she opens herself up fully, bringing together big-chorus singalongs, throwback beats, and honest lyrics in a way that paints a striking, vibrant portrait. The album showcases all of the different musical sides of the artist that she has not shared with the world before, a truly definitive statement that brings all of the unique layers of her artistry together in concert.
“This feels like a self-titled moment,” she says. “I am ready to say, ‘This is who I am.’”

Dua has found superstar status on stage and off, thanks to her many passions outside of music. 2022 saw Dua launch Service95, a global style, culture, and society editorial platform that now comprises a weekly newsletter, the Service95 book club, and the Dua Lipa: At Your Service podcast, which has been lauded by The Sunday Times and The Guardian and was named one of the Best Podcasts of 2022 by Spotify. Having graced every major fashion magazine worldwide from Vogue and Elle to W and Dazed, Dua added “designer” to her resume in 2023 when she co-designed Versace’s “La Vacanza” collection alongside Donatella Versace herself, which Vogue deemed “the hottest collaboration of the summer.”
Dua’s eponymous 2017 debut album is certified platinum, spawned six platinum tracks, and made her the first female artist in BRIT Awards history to pick up five nominations in a single year. Dua has a total of 10 GRAMMY nominations, with three wins for Best Pop Vocal Album, Best New Artist, and Best Dance Recording. Additionally, she earned nominations at the Golden Globes and Critics Choice Awards for her hit song “Dance The Night” from the box office sensation Barbie.

About Anne-Marie
Anne-Marie, whose unique, striking voice first hit the music radar when she guested on tracks by Rudimental and scored a number one hit as the main vocalist on Clean Bandit’s worldwide number one single, Rockabye. A former three-time world Karate champion, Anne-Marie’s self-effacing attitude and anthemic, highly personal songs about being cheated on, body issues and gender free love made an extraordinary connection with millions of fans. Her first solo album, Speak Your Mind – rammed with tracks to dance, laugh and cry to – was the biggest debut album of 2018 in the UK and it swiftly propelled her into a whole new level of celebrity – as a style icon, agony aunt and a woman fearless enough to tell the truth through exceptional tunes.
With no connections in the music business, and no appearance on reality television, the girl who cut her teeth in small West End roles and performing with a soul covers band in her hometown of East Tilbury, Essex, Anne-Marie – whose fans include Ed Sheeran and Marshmello – admits nothing had prepared her for the onslaught of fame.
Anne-Marie’s worldwide appeal is nothing short of monumental. A world-class vocalist who has five UK Top 10’s under her wings, her unfiltered, honest approach has seen her resonate with fans across the world ever since she entered the music scene in 2015. She’s one of those rare breeds of artist that’s so relatable, her music makes you feel like you’re conversing with your best mate, especially in relationship drama: “We all go through heartbreak at some point and it’s important to talk about it. Recognise a bad relationship but also recognize that these feelings of heartbreak don’t last forever and that you’re not alone in what you go through.”
The horns were up when Arch Enemy’s Deceivers Asia Tour 2024 was here in Manila and led the metal fans in their usual exploration of introspective intense music and treated the fans to an electrifying performance.
The Swedish-based death metal band was on the stage at SM North Skydome last May 15, 2024, presented by PULP Live World, coming back to the country after Summer Slam 12: The Apostles in 2012.
Arch Enemy delivered a masterclass in metal, showcasing their technical prowess and tight musicianship. Engaging with the audience between songs, vocalist Alissa White-Gluz fostered a sense of camaraderie, igniting an electric atmosphere that reverberated throughout the venue with guitarists Michael Amott and Jeff Loomis, bassist Sharlee D’Angelo, and drummer Daniel Erlandsson.
“Thank you for the warm welcome Manila!” Alissa said, noting it was her first time performing in the country since taking over as Arch Enemy’s vocalist. She stood out with her dynamic stage presence, her blue hair flying as she headbanged in sync with the relentless energy of the music. Her commanding presence added extra intensity to an already unforgettable performance. Against a backdrop of pulsating lights and dynamic visuals, Arch Enemy unleashed a setlist of fan favorites, including iconic tracks like “Nemesis,” “War Eternal,” and “The Eagle Flies Alone,” each song met with thunderous applause and fervent enthusiasm.
As the band took command of the stage, the Filipino crowd erupted into a frenzy of headbanging and occasional mosh pits, particularly during the intense rhythm of “Handshake with Hell.” Feeding off the raw intensity of the music, fans engaged in this adrenaline-fueled tradition, further amplifying the energy of the night. While it may look like an aggressive form of musical expression, it’s always been noted that these mosh pits have always been done tastefully, as the fans respect each other and the people who join in. They pick up if someone falls, they carry the ones who want to be thrown around, and they don’t force anyone who doesn’t want to join.
As the night reached its peak, the band delivered an encore that left the audience clamoring for more, cementing their status as metal icons. They also promised their fans that they would come back to the country soon and commended how loud and enthusiastic the fans were, as the usual dose of the Filipino concert crowd. As they wrapped the night, Arch Enemy again proved why they are revered as one of the most formidable forces in modern metal, as the energy did not waver throughout the evening. Long live death metal.

People who have witnessed miracles in their lives say that miracles happen when you have faith and persevere. Alisah Bonaobra can attest to this, saying that her faith in God combined with her perseverance in being a singer (competing in many singing contests at an early age so that she can give the cash prizes she won to her parents, who are hardworking sidewalk vendors), are the reasons why she has received what she considers miracles in her life.
Today, Alisah is residing in America, doing several singing engagements in various US locations as well as other parts of the world, and has achieved numerous accomplishments. She is always thankful for these blessings. “Despite the difficulties I had to face in life, God is always by my side to shower me with miracles. I offer and always lift everything to HIM,” said the rising young talent of US-based RJA Productions, LLC.
Regarding miracles, the song “Do You Have A Miracle For Me” written by renowned songwriter Cecile Azarcon-Inocentes, which was interpreted by Alisah and released through RJA Productions, LLC, was hailed as “Inspirational Song Of The Year” at the recent 14th PMPC Star Awards for Music.
In an interview, Alisah said, “I was elated when my manager, Tita Rosabella, told me that we won an award at the 14th PMPC Star Awards for Music. I was unaware that ‘Do You Have A Miracle For Me’ was even nominated. Being a singer who was given the honor to interpret an inspirational song by esteemed composer Ms. Cecile Azarcon-Inocentes was already a blessing for me. And when the song that I interpreted was recognized by the PMPC, it was another blessing, which has given me more motivation to better myself and to always have a grateful disposition. I dedicate this award to all the amazing people behind ‘Do You Have A Miracle For Me’.”
The PMPC award is the latest addition to the accomplished singer’s various achievements.
Ever since she arrived in America, Alisah has performed in many singing engagements there. She was one of the guest performers of singing sensation Gigi Delana when she had a show in San Francisco, USA. Alisah was able to perform in other countries as well, the most recent was her performance at an event in Lamilux, Germany last year, June 24, and in Guam last February. She will also be releasing her new single entitled “Your Love” this month.
This June, Alisah along with fellow artist Bryan Termulo will have a Canada tour produced by RJA Productions, LLC called “Royalty of Melody” on the following dates: June 7 – Calgary, Alberta; June 8 – Grande Prairie, Alberta; June 28 – Saskatoon, Saskatchewan; and June 29 – Dawson Creek, British Columbia. This coming July 20, she will have a concert called “Emerge” also produced by RJA Productions, LLC, this time with R&B Prince, Jay R, and other guest artists who are based in America. And on October this year, Alisah will be having a solo concert in San Francisco, USA.
With regard to her life in the US, Alisa shared, “Life abroad is really different from the Philippines. I’m still adjusting with the language and way of living since I just started living on my own. But every day, there are miracles happening and God continues to guide me and direct me to good people who can help me and who I can help as well. As preparation for my singing engagements, I make it a point to stay fit and healthy, and sleep on time. I do an hour of vocalization every day and at least two hours for vocal rehearsal of songs as well as studying new songs.”
“Aside from my singing career, I’ve been volunteering at the East Bay SPCA Feline Department. I’m part of the English Choir during Sunday at St. Raymond’s Church, and I also give voice lessons,” she added.
The hardworking artist of RJA Productions, LLC, ended the interview with a heartfelt message to her family, friends, and fans: “Thank you so much for always believing in me. Without your support, I will not be able to achieve the things that I have right now. Please continue to listen and share all my music in all digital platforms worldwide. Always take care and love you all!”

ABOUT LAUFEY
Laufey (pronounced lāy-vāy) is a 24-year-old, Los Angeles-based singer, composer, producer and multi-instrumentalist whose jazz songs are about young love and self-discovery. Raised between Reykjavík and Washington, D.C. with annual visits to Beijing, the Icelandic-Chinese artist grew up playing cello as well as piano and became hooked on the jazz standards of Ella Fitzgerald after digging through her father’s record collection.
In 2020, while still a student at Berklee College of Music, Laufey released her debut single “Street by Street,” which went on to top the Icelandic radio charts. Following the release of her 2021 Typical of Me EP, Laufey was named Best New Artist in Jazz and Blues at the Icelandic Music Awards and hosted her own show on BBC Radio 3/BBC Sounds. Her debut full-length Everything I Know About Love, debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Alternative New Artist Album chart, and the lead single “Valentine” peaked at #1 on the Spotify Jazz Chart. In 2022 Laufey was the most streamed jazz artist on Spotify, with 425 million streams across all platforms.
